40ft Container Skeleton Semi Trailer 2 or 3 Axle 40 Tons

The 3 Axle Skeleton Semi Trailer is a steel container chassis for moving 20ft and 40ft boxes between ports, depots and inland yards. Fleet operators buy it for one job: locking a container down and running it hard on highway routes. The 30000 KG load capacity and simple frame keep tare weight low and maintenance predictable.

Why It Works On Site

• 30000 KG load capacity — carries loaded containers on regular port and warehouse runs without overloading the running gear.
• 13 Ton axles — spread the load across the axle set for stable braking and even tyre wear on long hauls.
• Leaf spring suspension — a mechanical setup that is easy to inspect and service in any workshop.
• 12R22.5 tyres — a common size, so replacements are quick to source on the road.
• 16# channel steel side beam and 4MM platform plate — a stiff frame that resists twisting when the container is loaded off-centre.
• Standard 28Ton landing gear — holds the trailer steady when it is dropped and the tractor pulls away.

Where It Is Used

This skeleton semi trailer suits container haulage between ports, container depots, rail terminals and distribution warehouses. It handles dry boxes, and the same frame is used for general freight runs where a container is loaded at one site and tipped at another.

Fleets running shuttle work on public roads use it for repeat trips, while operators on longer intercity routes value the simple steel frame and the easy tyre supply.

Customisation Before Delivery

Several build choices are settled at order confirmation, not before. Buyers can specify 2 axle or 3 axle layouts, 20ft or 40ft container fixing, king pin size in 90# or 50#, and colour to their own preference. Tell the sales team which combination you need and it is written into the order.

Buyer Questions

Which container sizes does it take?

The trailer is built to transport 20ft and 40ft containers, so one chassis can cover both box sizes in a mixed fleet.

Can I choose the axle count?

Yes. The 2 axle and 3 axle versions are both offered, and the final choice is confirmed when the order is placed.

What is the load rating?

The stated load capacity is 30000 KG. Any other rating requirement is confirmed at quotation rather than assumed.
