There are numerous utility vehicle types that serve a variety of purposes. While some are powered by large diesel engines, others, such as golf carts, are powered by tiny batteries. 

​Several major categories of utility vehicles include the following: 

• Armored Utility Vehicles
• Sport Utility Vehicle
• Multi Utility Vehicle
• Crossover Utility Vehicle
• Light equipment
• Coupé utility or Tray utility vehicle
• Sports utility truck\ vehicle(SUV), Utility Truck, or Pickup truck

Utility Trucks

Utility trucks are smaller than tiny trucks but larger than heavy and medium trucks.
​
They are typically used to transport small to medium-sized stuff that fits inside the cargo compartment, commonly referred to as a utility bed. Numerous utility beds are 7-8 feet long and are positioned in the truck's rear.   
                                 
Utility trucks come equipped with enough storage for the tools required for service activities. There are numerous designs available, ranging from basic trucks to those equipped with cranes.

Types of Utility Trucks

Utility trucks come in a variety of types, depending on their intended use. Typically, they are categorized according to the type of body they possess. Several common utility trucks include the following:

Standard Bodies

The simplest and most common type of service body is the standard service body. It is equipped with storage compartments on both sides of the body, which are frequently used to store tools and equipment.

​However, the middle remains hollow, allowing you to use the truck's bed to haul huge items if necessary. 
​
Aluminum service beds are often used because they are lightweight, consume less fuel, and do not rust.

Landscape Bodies

Landscape body trucks are designed to transport landscaping debris. It is a huge box that resembles a dump truck but lacks the dumping capability.
​
The entire back of the vehicle is a swinging door that makes loading and unloading easier.
​
Most utility vehicles carry big loads, operate in dangerous work situations, and subject vehicle components, particularly the engine, to increased wear and tear and strain.

Enclosed Bodies

Enclosed-body trucks resemble vans and are covered on the inside to provide additional storage. There are numerous possibilities depending on factors, such as whether or not you want windows.
​
The enclosed body's rear features a door via which you can enter the truck.

Platform Bodies

Sweepers are used to cleaning up a graded or milled road. They keep him safe on the asphalt by cleaning debris.

Crane Bodies

A crane service body is equipped with an extendable crane. The service bed, like the basic body, features storage on both sides. The crane is located in the truck's center.

Steel Bodies

Steel service bodies have the same appearance as standard bodies, but are made of steel rather than aluminum. While steel has a number of advantages, including durability, it also consumes more fuel due to its increased weight.

Dump Bodies

Your truck becomes a dump truck with the addition of a dump body. The dump bodies are available in two configurations: with raised sides or without sides.

​Additionally, each of the bodies includes storage on both sides of the truck.
