Also referred to as ‘straight trucks’, rigid trucks are vehicles with a fixed chassis, which means the cab of the vehicle and the load on the back move as one. An umbrella term used to describe other types of vehicles, including flatbed trucks and tanker trucks, rigid trucks can be optimised for a range of different specific uses.
While we also stock vehicles from the likes of Volvo, DAF and Mercedes-Benz, our relationship with Scania is extra special, as we are the only independent company to provide Scania repair and maintenance to our customers, on qualifying vehicles. Available without hidden costs or tricky terms and conditions, the repair service we offer demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible vehicles.
Get in touchEvery type of rigid truck comes with its own specific benefits, with the positives of a box truck being notably different from a flatbed truck, for example.
Perhaps the greatest aspect of rigid Scania trucks is their versatility and manoeuvrability, being generally easy to drive and navigate urban areas that are full of tight corners. Their compact size also makes them easier to load and offload, often being parked directly outside businesses on main roads where they can be easily accessed.
Thanks to their more compact size and single chassis, rigid trucks are typically more compact than other industry alternatives. This increased stability not only offers the user a more comfortable driving experience, but it also improves overall safety, helping to prevent accidents when the vehicle experiences challenging roads.
Rigid trucks can be adapted for countless different purposes. For example, box trucks are the kinds of multi-purpose trucks you’ll see transporting goods in the busy streets of the inner city. Meanwhile, flatbed trucks are far different, being used to transport large, awkward objects usually used in construction.
If you’re after a rigid Scania truck for sale, explore the various ways they can be configured to be able to fulfil any kind of task to help you form your purchase.
Designed specifically for the tight corners of the city, the Scania P-Series range is ideal for short trips, featuring a compact design that makes it perfectly manoeuvrable. Used commonly in waste collection industries, the P-Series has been a popular choice as a general-use truck for decades.
An adaptable, versatile truck, the G-Series can be utilised for short-distance deliveries or long-haul travel thanks to its tall and spacious cab that offers exemplary visibility. Just like the P-Series, the truck can also be utilised in a range of different circumstances, including regional distribution and light construction tasks.
Accessible vehicles for use in urban areas, L-Series Scania trucks feature a low-entry cab design which means you can easily get in and out for quick, stop-start jobs. As a result, L-Series trucks are perfect for waste collection businesses, particularly as the low-level window and large cab size allow you to easily see other road users and pedestrians.
While most of the aforementioned rigid trucks can be used interchangeably for several different purposes, the XT-Series is specifically created for use in heavy-duty industries. With a robust chassis, a reinforced body and a steel bumper, vehicles in Scania’s XT-Series are used predominantly in the construction and mining industries.
No matter what kind of vehicle you’re looking for, if you’re after a pre-owned truck for sale, we can help.
