Heavy Duty slotted intermediate posts are 120mm x 124mm nominal section, planed finish with two 54mm x 25mm slots for fence panel. 54mm x 25mm slot is to allow a clearance on the 50mm wide panel framing.

Why would I use a heavy duty slotted post over a standard slotted post?

Ground conditions should also be taken into consideration. If the ground is soft and marshy then this is another reason for heavy duty posts. Jakposts reduce damage caused by wind movement when panels are screwed to posts.
Fence panels slot easily into position when the posts have been installed, and can be scurely fixed (un-like concrete posts).
