Why the 14ft Lorry is the Ideal Medium-Sized Commercial Vehicle
The 14ft lorry represents the perfect middle ground for Singapore businesses requiring more cargo capacity than a 10ft lorry while maintaining urban maneuverability. Whether you operate a moving service, wholesale distribution business, construction company, or expanding e-commerce operation, a 14ft lorry delivers optimal balance between payload capacity, cargo volume, and operational versatility.
At ABLINK, we offer comprehensive 14ft lorry solutions featuring Toyota Dyna, Mitsubishi Canter, and Isuzu N-Series models. Our 14ft lorry collection includes vehicles dengan harga kisaran mulai dari $51,800 SGD hingga $59,800 SGD (harga body saja, belum termasuk COE), providing cost-effective transportation solutions untuk SMEs dan established enterprises across Singapore.
Understanding the 14ft Lorry: Specifications and Capabilities
Vehicle Dimensions and Cargo Space
A standard 14ft lorry di Singapore features dimensions yang make it ideal untuk medium-scale logistics operations:
-
Overall Length: 4.0m - 4.26m (14ft)
-
Cargo Width: 1.8m - 2.1m (6ft - 7ft)
-
Cargo Height: 2.0m - 2.4m (7ft - 8ft)
-
Total Cargo Volume: 400-500 cubic feet (approximately 11.3-14.2 cubic meters)
These dimensions enable 14ft lorries untuk navigate Singapore's HDB carparks, industrial estates, dan urban delivery routes while providing significantly more cargo space than 10ft lorries—approximately 60-70% additional capacity.
Payload and Loading Capacity
Payload capacity of 14ft lorries typically ranges dari 2.0 to 3.0 tons (2,000-3,000 kg), depending on specific model dan configuration. Here's what this translates to dalam practical applications:
-
Residential Moving: Can accommodate furniture dan belongings dari 2-3 bedroom apartments, including king-size beds, large refrigerators, washing machines, sofas, dining sets, dan approximately 100 cartons

-
Standard Class 3 or Class 4 License: Most 14ft lorries dengan GVWR under 3,500kg hanya require standard driving license; models dengan higher GVWR may require Class 4 license
-
Carpark Accessibility: 14ft lorries dengan height 3.0-3.2m can access most HDB dan condo carparks yang have 3.3m clearance limits
-
Balanced Operating Costs: Moderate road tax, insurance, dan maintenance costs compared to larger 24ft trucks

-
Bulk Inventory Movements: Transporting wholesale quantities dari distribution centers ke retail branches atau storage facilities
-
Cross-Dock Operations: Facilitating goods transfer antara warehouses atau dari import consolidation ke distribution networks

Buying vs. Leasing: Financial Decision Framework
When to Purchase a 14ft Lorry
Purchasing makes strategic sense when:
Consistent High-Volume Operations: Bisnis Anda operates the vehicle 20+ days per month dengan predictable transportation needs. The lower per-day cost of ownership becomes increasingly advantageous over rental atau leasing alternatives.
Long-Term Business Model: Operational plans extend 5+ years dengan stable transportation requirements. Vehicle ownership costs become significantly more economical than accumulated rental fees over extended periods.
Customization Requirements: Operational needs require specific configurations (specialized upper structures, refrigeration units, hydraulic equipment, cargo management systems) yang justify capital investment dalam vehicle modifications.
Fleet Integration: The 14ft lorry will integrate dengan existing fleet management systems, maintenance infrastructure, dan operational protocols yang support ownership models.
Tax Optimization: Accounting structure allows you untuk leverage capital equipment depreciation, operational expense deductions, dan other tax benefits associated dengan vehicle ownership.
Financial Considerations for Purchase:
-
Initial Body Cost: Kisaran $51,800 - $59,800 SGD (depending on model selection)
-
COE (Certificate of Entitlement): Typically kisaran $15,000 - $25,000 SGD untuk commercial vehicles
-
Total Vehicle Cost: Approximately kisaran $67,000 - $85,000 SGD
-
Annual Road Tax: Approximately kisaran $2,500 - $3,500 SGD
-
Insurance: Approximately kisaran $4,000 - $6,000 SGD annually
-
Maintenance and Servicing: Approximately kisaran $3,000 - $4,500 SGD annually
-
Fuel Costs: Approximately kisaran $20,000 - $28,000 SGD annually (for regular business operations)
When to Lease a 14ft Lorry
Leasing is optimal when:
Variable Demand Patterns: Bisnis Anda experiences seasonal fluctuations, project-based needs, atau uncertain transportation volume yang makes fixed ownership costs inefficient.
Capital Preservation: Business strategy prioritizes preserving capital untuk core operations, inventory, atau growth initiatives rather than vehicle investments.
Maintenance Outsourcing: Preference untuk predictable monthly expenses yang include maintenance, repairs, servicing, dan roadside assistance tanpa unexpected costs atau downtime.
Technology Upgrades: Desire untuk access newer vehicle models dengan latest fuel efficiency, emission standards, atau technology features through periodic lease renewals.
Trial Period: Testing 14ft lorry suitability untuk your operations sebelum committing to full vehicle purchase.
Leasing Cost Structure:
-
Monthly Lease Payment: Approximately kisaran $2,800 - $4,800 SGD (depending on lease terms, vehicle model, dan included services)
-
Included Services: Typically includes maintenance, servicing, insurance, road tax, dan 24/7 roadside assistance
-
Fuel: Usually paid separately by lessee based on actual consumption
-
Annual Cost: Approximately kisaran $33,600 - $57,600 SGD (higher than ownership but includes comprehensive services)

Body Price: $51,800 SGD
-
COE (Estimated): Kisaran $18,000 SGD
-
Registration and Documentation: Kisaran $600 SGD

Break-Even Analysis: Ownership vs. Leasing
Ownership Monthly Cost: Kisaran $3,707 SGD (over 5 years)
Leasing Monthly Cost: Kisaran $2,800 - $4,800 SGD
Break-even considerations:
-
For businesses operating vehicles intensively (250+ days/year), ownership typically becomes more economical after 2-3 years
-
For businesses dengan seasonal atau variable demand, leasing may remain more cost-effective throughout vehicle lifecycle
-
Customization requirements often favor ownership since modifications add residual value
-
Tax treatment of ownership versus leasing expenses should be evaluated dengan accounting professionals
Maintenance Schedule and Longevity
