What Is a Stake Body Used For?
A stake body is an open flatbed truck body with removable side and rear panels, called stake gates, that allow flexible cargo loading from multiple directions. Contractors use them to haul lumber, pipe, landscaping materials, pallets, and equipment with greater flexibility than an enclosed body allows. The open design means faster loading and unloading at job sites, a major advantage for Irvine-area crews working on tight commercial or residential development schedules.
Steel vs. Aluminum Stake Beds: Which Is Right for Your Fleet?
Steel stake beds offer exceptional strength and resistance to heavy impacts, making them a solid choice for construction and demolition haul work common across Irvine's active development corridor along Jamboree Road and Alton Parkway. Aluminum stake beds deliver a lighter overall weight, which can help preserve payload capacity and improve fuel economy on longer delivery routes across Orange County. Pacific Truck Equipment can help you evaluate which material makes sense based on your chassis, load type, and daily route demands.
Sizing Options Built Around Your Chassis
Stake bodies are sized based on the cab-to-axle (CA) measurement of your truck. Pacific Truck Equipment offers stake beds across a wide range of lengths, from around 8 feet up to 24 feet for trucks with the appropriate chassis. Here is how to approach sizing:
- Measure the CA length of your truck from the back of the cab to the center of the rear axle.
- Match your CA measurement to the appropriate bed length using published flatbed and stake bed guidelines.
- Select your material preference, steel or aluminum, along with standard features such as wood stake gates and Apitong wood flooring.
- Choose optional add-ons including a heavy-duty over-cab rack, liftgate, or toolbox.
- Confirm turnaround time with the Pacific Truck Equipment team before finalizing your order.
If you are unsure of your CA measurement, the team can help you work it out before ordering.
Add-Ons That Make Stake Bodies Work Harder
A rail liftgate at the rear can make loading and unloading heavy materials significantly faster and safer, particularly for delivery fleets covering Irvine's dense commercial zones along the I-5 and SR-55 corridors. A heavy-duty tapered over-cab rack adds usable storage above the cab for conduit, pipe, or lumber without sacrificing bed space below. Toolbox compartments can also be integrated to keep hand tools and smaller equipment organized on the job site.
Standard features on Pacific Truck Equipment stake beds typically include wood stake gates, 7/8-inch Apitong wood flooring, a rear dock bumper, and a headboard with solid and expanded metal for strength and airflow.
Industries Served in the Irvine Area
Construction companies working on residential and commercial developments across Irvine and adjacent cities like Tustin and Lake Forest rely on stake beds to move framing lumber, rebar, block, and tools between sites. Landscaping businesses servicing Irvine's master-planned communities use stake beds to haul plants, soil, mulch, and hardscape materials. Delivery and distribution operations moving freight throughout the Irvine Spectrum and John Wayne Airport business corridor prefer stake beds for their flexibility with palletized loads.
Pacific Truck Equipment Inc. has decades of experience building stake beds for exactly these work environments.
