What does High-side body mean in logistics?

Short answer

An open truck body with side walls built higher than a standard open body, used for loose, bulky or bagged cargo that needs more volume but not a closed box.

"JCB body" is a trade name heard in some Indian markets for this style of body; names vary by region, so state the dimensions required rather than relying on the name. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
