“Light-duty” and “medium-duty” describe equipment capacity classes, not marketing labels. The assigned truck must safely handle weight, dimensions and loading conditions.
Light-Duty Flatbed Overview
Light-duty flatbeds commonly support eligible passenger cars, many SUVs, crossovers, lighter pickups and similar vehicles when they fall within the truck’s rated capacity.
Medium-Duty Flatbed Overview
Medium-duty equipment is considered for larger pickups, cargo vans, Sprinter vans and cube vans when verified dimensions and weight require additional capacity. Medium-duty still is not heavy-duty service.

What Does Not Change Between Classes
Both classes require access review, securement planning and honest vehicle details. Overloaded vans or restricted loading zones can change the outcome regardless of duty class.
How to Request the Right Class
Share estimated weight, height and load status. Dispatch confirms capacity before promising a specific truck class.
