Browse Used Stake Bed Trucks for Open Cargo Hauling and Commercial Delivery

Burns Auto Group carries pre-owned stake bed trucks for contractors, farmers, landscapers and commercial haulers who need an open, versatile platform for materials, equipment, produce and freight. Buyers can compare available stake body configurations, discuss commercial financing and review nationwide sourcing options.

Stake Body Trucks for Open Load Hauling Across Multiple Industries

A stake bed truck features a flat cargo platform surrounded by removable wooden or metal stake boards that contain the load without fully enclosing it. This design makes stake body trucks ideal for hauling items that are too large, awkwardly shaped or fragile to be enclosed in a box body, including landscaping materials, lumber, produce, pipe, equipment and palletized goods.

Stake beds are available on light duty through Class 6 and Class 7 commercial platforms depending on payload requirements. The removable stake configuration lets operators add or remove boards to match cargo dimensions and load characteristics.

What Buyers Review Before Purchasing a Used Stake Bed

On a used stake bed truck, buyers should inspect the condition of the stake pockets and cross-members, the integrity of the floor planking or platform decking, the stake boards or panels, any lift gate if equipped, and overall chassis condition.

Stake pocket and cross-member corrosion is common on older stake bodies, particularly in regions where road salt exposure is high. Structural integrity of these components matters for load containment and safety compliance.

Commercial Finance and Sourcing Support

Burns Auto Group can discuss commercial financing for stake bed trucks for qualified business buyers including contractors, landscapers, farm operators and fleet managers. We source stake body inventory through dealer, fleet and auction channels nationwide when specific configurations are not in current on-lot stock.
