DRY VAN
A dry van is a type of enclosed trailer commonly used in the transportation industry to haul general cargo. It is a versatile and widely used option for shipping a wide range of goods.
Dry vans are fully enclosed trailers with solid walls and a roof, providing protection from weather conditions and ensuring the security of the cargo. They do not have temperature control features, making them suitable for transporting goods that do not require specific temperature conditions.
The interior of a dry van trailer is empty and open, allowing for easy loading and unloading of palletized or boxed cargo using forklifts or other loading equipment. The trailer is equipped with cargo restraint systems such as logistic tracking systems, E-track, or D-rings to secure the freight during transportation.
Dry vans are commonly used for transporting goods such as consumer products, retail merchandise, packaged food and beverages, electronics, and various other dry goods. They offer a safe and reliable means of transportation for both short and long-distance hauls.
The popularity of dry van trailers stems from their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and widespread availability. They are compatible with most standard trucking equipment and can be easily loaded and unloaded at shipping docks or distribution centres. Dry vans are an essential part of the supply chain, facilitating the movement of goods across various industries.
