40ft/20ft Skeleton Semi Trailer Q345 Steel Chassis 50T

A skeleton semi trailer is the working spine of a container hauling fleet, and this unit is built for operators moving 20ft and 40ft boxes. The Q345 high strength steel chassis and 12 twist locks give procurement managers a frame that locks containers down for road and yard work. It is a brand-new build aimed at fleets that want a simple, repairable trailer rather than a complex one.

Why It Works On Site

• 50T load capacity — the frame is rated for heavy container loads, so a single tractor can handle dense cargo without a second run.
• 12 twist locks — containers are secured at all standard corner points, which shortens loading checks before each trip.
• 2/3/4 axles at 13T or 16T — you match the axle set to your route weight limits and local bridge rules.
• Mechanical or air suspension — mechanical suits rough site roads, air suspension protects cargo on long highway legs.
• 28t heavy duty landing gear — the trailer stays stable when dropped loaded in the yard for a tractor swap.
• Valve brake system — predictable braking response when a loaded chassis is coupled and uncoupled often.

Where It Is Used

This skeleton semi trailer fits port drayage, container depots and inland transfer runs where boxes are picked up and dropped several times a day. It handles 20ft and 40ft containers on paved roads, terminal aprons and short gravel approaches.

Fleet operators also use it for steady contract hauling between warehouses, rail ramps and distribution centres, where the same trailer must switch container sizes without extra equipment.

Customisation Before Delivery

Several choices are settled at order confirmation: axle count and axle rating, suspension type, tyre size from the listed options, king pin size in 2 inch (50mm) or 3.5 inch (90mm), and colour. Tell us the container sizes and routes you run, and the build is matched to them before production starts.
