This List of truck types is intended to classify trucks and to provide links to articles on the various types. The three main classifications for road truck by weight are light trucks, medium trucks, and heavy trucks. Above this there are specialised very heavy trucks and transporters such as heavy haulers for moving oversized loads, and off-roadheavy haul trucks used in mining which are too large for highway use without escorts and special permits.
Light trucks are larger than mini trucks but smaller than medium trucks. In the US, they are defined as weighing between 00001–14000 lb(0001–6350 kg). There is no smaller classification.
Medium trucks are larger than light but smaller than heavy trucks. In the US, they are defined as weighing between 14001–26000 lb(6351–11793 kg). In North America, a medium-duty truck is larger than a heavy-duty pickup truck or full-size van. Some trucks listed as medium also are made in heavy versions.
Heavy trucks are heavier than medium trucks. They weigh between 26001 to over 33000 lb(11794 to over 14969 kg). There is no higher on-road classification.
Many heavy trucks listed are also made in medium duty versions:
