Tray trucks are extremely versatile utility vehicles with a large area at its rear to store cargo. They can carry different kinds of heavy and oversized loads, even if those loads are taller or longer than the truck itself.
What are tray trucks used for?
Tray trucks are primarily used to transport heavy and oversized cargo. The list includes vehicles, construction materials, sand and gravel, large containers, and even outdoor furniture. They have an open, flat tray-top platform that allows you to load different types of cargo with ease. You can even use a tray truck to haul another trailer.
If you're on a budget, used tray trucks are your best bet. And, no, "used" doesn't have to mean old and worn. Just make sure that they have no issues and are in good working condition.
Ask the seller for the vehicle history and record of maintenance so you can set your expectations well. Keep in mind, though, that the owner may have had repairs done without any record of them. You can refer to your trusted mechanic to assess your tray truck for you instead.
