Full loading is one of the most preferred types of transportation in international shipping operations, and our company has been meeting the full loading needs in the best way since day one. In international literature, full loading is referred to as FTL. FTL is an abbreviation of the initials of Full Truck Loading.
Full loading is the name given to the transportation of a company’s cargo alone, with a single transport vehicle. It can be easily said that it is one of the most advantageous types of transportation in terms of speed, security, and price. In full loading, your cargo does not undergo transshipment and handling like in some other transportations. The vehicle does not wait to find other goods to hit the road, as in partial transportation. The most suitable vehicle for the goods is chosen, and after the loading is done at the location of the goods and the paperwork is handled, it sets off directly towards the customer.
Vehicle Types Used in Full Loading
Many different vehicles can be used during full loading. The choice of vehicle is determined according to the quantity, type, volume, etc., of the goods. One of the most preferred vehicles at this point is the van. Vans with a maximum loading weight not exceeding 3500 kg and 2 axles can carry goods between 1500-1750 kg.
6-wheel trucks are another vehicle used in complete transportation and are 2-axle vehicles with a maximum loaded weight not exceeding 7500 kg. Excluding the weight of the body, they have a carrying capacity of 3500-4000 kg. 10-wheel trucks have a maximum loaded weight not exceeding 25,000 kg and are 3-axle vehicles. Excluding the weight of the body, their carrying capacity is approximately 15,000 kg.
40-foot trucks are 4-axle vehicles with a net carrying capacity of 20,000 kg. The body lengths are between 790-820 cm. 40-foot trucks are especially used in open-body transportation.
