Box Trucks | Tailgate

A box truck with tailgate is actually a smaller and lighter version of the truck. Because the box truck is smaller and more maneuverable it allows moving companies to load and unload goods on busy and small streets.  

What type of driver's license do I need?  

The type of driver's license is determined by the total weight (GVW) of the box truck. 

• Box-bodies with a tailboard up to 3.5 tons: driver's license B, the ordinary car driving licence 
• Box-bodies with a tailgate from 3.5 to 7.5 tons: driver's license C1 with code 95, if you use them for professional purposes. 
• Box trucks with tailgate from 7.5 tons: driver's license C  

What else is a tailgate used for?  

The tailgate is used with various vehicles.  You may have seen it behind a lorry when loading and unloading roll containers. Or behind a passenger bus with a wheelchair elevator. Also, some ambulances have a folding tailgate for stretchers.
