Trucks are expensive assets that deteriorate faster when exposed to weather. UV degrades paint and rubber components, rain promotes corrosion, and bird droppings etch clear coats. A purpose-built truck shed protects your fleet, provides undercover maintenance space, and keeps your operation running regardless of weather.
Height is the critical dimension for truck sheds. Standard shed wall heights aren’t enough, you need to account for the truck plus clearance for tipping bodies, cranes, and overhead doors:
| Vehicle Type | Vehicle Height | Min Door Height | Min Wall Height | Min Bay Width |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light truck / van | 2.5m to 3.5m | 4m | 4.5m | 4m |
| Medium rigid truck | 3.5m to 4m | 4.5m | 5m | 4.5m |
| Semi-trailer / B-double | 4.3m to 4.6m | 5m | 5.5m to 6m | 5m |
| Tipper (body raised) | 6m to 8m+ | 7m+ | 7.5m+ | 5m |
Matching doors on both ends of the building. Trucks drive in one end and out the other, no reversing. Essential for road trains, B-doubles, and any long combination vehicle. The most popular layout for transport depots.
Multiple roller doors along the front face, each bay sized for one vehicle. Efficient use of width for fleets of similar-sized vehicles. Often combined with a workshop bay at one end.
Parking bays for fleet storage plus one or more enclosed, insulated workshop bays for maintenance. The workshop section gets power, lighting, compressed air, and a concrete pit or hoist.
