3 Axle Skeleton Semi Trailer for 20ft and 40 ft Containers

The skeleton semi trailer is a steel container chassis built to move 20ft and 40 ft boxes between ports, depots and rail yards. Fleet operators and container hauliers choose it for a 50T load capacity and a frame that stays light when running empty. It is a working chassis, not a showpiece.

Why It Works On Site

• 50T load capacity covers loaded 40 ft import boxes without derating the running gear.
• 2/3/4 axles at 13/16T lets a buyer match axle count to local weight rules and road permits.
• Mechanical or air suspension — steel springs for rough yard work, air bags for smooth highway running.
• 28t heavy duty landing gear holds a loaded chassis steady during coupling and drop-off.
• Valve brake system gives predictable stopping control on a fully loaded container run.
• King pin in 2″ (50mm) or 3.5″ (90mm) matches the fifth wheel already on the tractor.

Where It Is Used

This container semi trailer suits port shuttle work, container depot transfers and long-haul box moves on highway routes. The twist-lock frame takes standard 20ft and 40 ft containers, so one chassis handles mixed import and export loads.

It also fits intermodal terminals where boxes move between rail and road, and regional distribution runs where the trailer returns empty and weight matters.

Customisation Before Delivery

Axle count, suspension type, tyre size and king pin size are all selected at order confirmation. Tyre options include 11.00r20, 12r22.5, 315 and 385. Tell us the tractor’s fifth wheel size and the roads the trailer will run on, and the build is fixed before production starts.
