What’s more, goods decides the dimension of trucks. If the truck means to transport ore, strengthening the open-box bed is necessary otherwise the ore will smash the bed reducing its service life. For example the thickness should be 8mm for bottom and 6mm for side if your truck is used for transporting sand or construction waste. Also the size of truck bed or trailer depends on the weight of goods.
