20 40ft Container Skeleton Semi-Trailer 2 3 4 Axles 40-60 Tons

Wholesale steel truck trailers in this range are skeleton semi trailers built to carry 20ft and 40ft containers. Fleet operators and container hauliers use them for terminal shuttles and road legs between ports and depots. The steel frame and heavy duty mechanical suspension are the reasons buyers pick this chassis for daily loaded running.

Why It Works On Site

• Load Capacity 15001-80000 KG covers light 20ft boxes through heavy loaded 40ft containers, so one chassis type handles mixed freight.
• Main beam height 500mm, 14/8/16mm gives a deep section that resists bending under concentrated container corner loads.
• 13/16 ton axles spread the gross weight across the bogie and keep tyre loading even on long highway legs.
• Heavy duty mechanical suspension has no air circuit to service, which suits fleets working dusty terminals and rough yard surfaces.
• Side beam 16# channel steel or U-steel stiffens the deck edge where twistlocks and container corners transfer load.
• 90mm leaf springs in 13mm or 16mm packs carry the rated load while staying a standard, easy-to-source part.

Where It Is Used

These chassis suit port drayage, container depots, rail ramps and cross-border road legs. Typical cargo is a loaded 20ft box, a 40ft general container or two empties repositioned on one run.

Fleets also use them for steel coil in containers, bagged cargo and palletised goods where the box itself is the load unit. The open skeleton frame keeps tare weight down and gives easy access for twistlock inspection.

Customisation Before Delivery
