Stake bed trucks are flatbed trucks with removable panels, or stakes, that allow for easy cargo loading and unloading. The stakes fit into built-in sockets on the truck bed to create a perimeter around the cargo load. Stake bed trucks come in a range of lengths and weight ratings. Some stake trucks are designed with hydraulic lift gates to raise and lower cargo from the truck bed.
The load capacity of stake bed trucks depends on the dimensions of the flatbed and the truck’s weight rating. United Rentals offers stake bed trucks for rent rated up to 56,000 pounds. Contact your local United Rentals equipment expert to find the right stake truck rental for your needs.
A commercial driver’s license (CDL) is required to operate certain types of stake trucks. If the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is over 26,000 pounds, the operator must have a valid CDL.
