Chapter 48: Icons Logistics
Logistics Icons
Let me explain very clearly and honestly (teacher mode on):
Font Awesome 5 does NOT have an official “Logistics Icons” category.
There is also no “Logistics Icons” page on W3Schools for Font Awesome 5.
What usually happens is:
- People search for “Font Awesome 5 logistics icons” because they want truck, shipping, warehouse, delivery, box, map, route, barcode, forklift icons for e-commerce, supply chain, transportation, or logistics company websites.
- Google shows results from Font Awesome 6 or 7 (which do have a proper “Logistics” category added around 2022–2023)
- Or they find old blog posts / CodePen demos that mix FA5 + FA6 icons
- Or they land on the Font Awesome 6 Logistics page and think it’s FA5
So today I’m going to give you the real, accurate answer for Font Awesome 5 (the version W3Schools still teaches in their FA5 sections in 2026).
1. Logistics Icons actually available in Font Awesome 5 Free
Font Awesome 5 has no dedicated “Logistics” category.
You can only use general-purpose icons that people repurpose for logistics, shipping, transportation, warehousing, delivery, and supply chain themes. Here are the ones most commonly used for logistics-related designs in FA5 free:
| Icon name | Code example | Looks like | Typical logistics / supply chain use |
|---|---|---|---|
| fa-truck | <i class=”fas fa-truck”></i> | 🚚 Delivery truck | Main truck / delivery / freight icon |
| fa-truck-loading | <i class=”fas fa-truck-loading”></i> | 🚚 Loading truck | Warehouse loading / unloading |
| fa-truck-moving | <i class=”fas fa-truck-moving”></i> | 🚚 Moving truck | Relocation / logistics moving service |
| fa-shipping-fast | <i class=”fas fa-shipping-fast”></i> | 🚚 Fast shipping | Express / same-day delivery |
| fa-box | <i class=”fas fa-box”></i> | 📦 Box | Package / shipment / cardboard box |
| fa-boxes | <i class=”fas fa-boxes”></i> | 📦📦 Stacked boxes | Warehouse / inventory / multiple packages |
| fa-pallet | <i class=”fas fa-pallet”></i> | 🛒 Pallet | Warehouse pallet / forklift load |
| fa-barcode | <i class=”fas fa-barcode”></i> | 📋 Barcode | Product scanning / inventory tracking |
| fa-qrcode | <i class=”fas fa-qrcode”></i> | ▦ QR code | Tracking QR / delivery confirmation |
| fa-route | <i class=”fas fa-route”></i> | 🛣️ Route / path | Delivery route / logistics planning |
| fa-map-marked | <i class=”fas fa-map-marked”></i> | 🗺️ Map with pin | Delivery location / tracking |
| fa-map-marker-alt | <i class=”fas fa-map-marker-alt”></i> | 📍 Map pin | Warehouse / drop-off point |
| fa-warehouse | Not in FA5 free | — | — (added in FA6) |
| fa-forklift | Not in FA5 free | — | — (added in FA6) |
| fa-dolly | Not in FA5 free | — | — (added in FA6) |
Bottom line for FA5 free in 2026 You basically get truck + box + barcode + route + map pin as your main logistics toolkit. No warehouse, no forklift, no pallet truck, no conveyor belt, no container ship, no airplane cargo icon in the free version of FA5.
2. What people usually mean when they ask for “FA5 Logistics Icons”
They are almost always thinking about Font Awesome 6 or 7 (released starting 2022), which added a proper Logistics category in the free version.
Here are the most popular logistics icons that exist in FA6/7 free (not in FA5):
- fa-warehouse 🏭
- fa-forklift 🛒
- fa-pallet 🛒
- fa-dolly 🛒
- fa-truck-container 🚛
- fa-truck-flatbed 🚛
- fa-truck-ramp 🚛
- fa-truck-pickup 🚚
- fa-boxes-packing 📦
- fa-boxes-stacked 📦📦
- fa-barcode-read 📋
- fa-location-dot 📍 (newer map pin)
So when you see nice, modern logistics icon sets online in 2025–2026 (with warehouse, forklift, pallets, containers), they are 99% of the time using Font Awesome 6 or 7, not FA5.
