3 Axle 40ft Skeleton Semi Trailer 30,000 KG Container Chassis

The skeleton semi trailer is a steel container chassis built to move 20ft and 40ft boxes between yards, docks and depots. Fleet operators choose it for a 30,000 KG load capacity carried on three 13-ton axles. It keeps the deck low and the tare weight down, so more of every trip goes to cargo.

Why It Works On Site

• 30,000 KG load capacity — carries loaded container boxes without overloading the tractor unit on port runs.
• Three 13-ton axles — spread the container weight across six tyre positions for steadier braking and even road wear.
• Mechanical or air suspension — match the ride to your routes, from rough yard surfaces to long highway legs.
• 2.0 inch (50mm) or 3.5 inch (90mm) king pin — lets the chassis couple to the fifth wheel already in your fleet.
• Standard 28 ton landing gear — holds the frame steady while the tractor is away and the box is being pinned.
• 90(W)mm x 13/16 mm x 10 layer leaf spring — supports the rated load across the axle group on daily shuttle work.

Where It Is Used

This container semi trailer suits port drayage, rail ramp shuttles and warehouse transfers where the box changes but the route repeats. It handles standard 20ft and 40ft containers on sealed roads, terminal aprons and depot yards.

Fleets running mixed import and export volumes use it as a flexible chassis, switching between container sizes as bookings arrive.

Customisation Before Delivery

Several choices are settled at order confirmation: suspension type, tyre size from 10.00R20, 11.00R20 or 12R22.5, king pin size and colour to your requirement. Tell your sales contact which combination fits your fleet, and the build sheet is fixed before production starts.
