A box truck, also known as a cube truck, van truck, or straight truck, is a vehicle designed for transporting goods with an enclosed cargo area. The cargo box, often rectangular in shape, is securely attached to the truck’s chassis, forming a single, solid unit. Box trucks come in various sizes, typically ranging from 10 to 26 feet in length, and are widely used for short to medium-haul deliveries, local moves, and transporting goods like furniture, appliances, and retail inventory.
Box trucks are especially popular for their versatility, providing weatherproof, secure transportation of goods. The enclosed design keeps cargo protected from external elements and theft. Many box trucks feature roll-up rear doors and may be equipped with a hydraulic lift gate to make loading and unloading heavy items easier. Their compact size compared to larger trucks makes them ideal for navigating urban areas while still offering significant cargo capacity.
