40ft Flatbed Semi Trailer 2/3/4 Axle 50T Container Chassis

The 40ft flatbed semi trailer is a steel container chassis built to move 20ft and 40ft boxes for fleets, hauliers and importers. It suits procurement teams that need one platform across mixed container work. The new condition and 50T load capacity make it a practical starting point for daily terminal and trunk routes.

Why It Works On Site

• 50T load capacity lets a fleet plan around dense, heavy containers without a second trailer class in the yard.
• 2/3/4 axle layouts let the buyer match the trailer to the load and to local axle limits at order confirmation.
• Mechanical or air suspension covers either a simple, low-maintenance setup or a softer ride for mixed road surfaces.
• 28t heavy duty landing gear keeps the chassis stable when it is dropped and loaded without a tractor.
• Valve brake system gives the workshop a familiar, serviceable braking layout on every unit.
• Metal decking supports container feet and general flat loads, so the same trailer handles more than boxes.

Where It Is Used

This container semi trailer fits port-to-warehouse shuttles, railhead transfers and long trunk runs where 20ft and 40ft containers alternate through the week. It also works for reloading depots that stack empty boxes and need a flat deck for odd loads.

Fleet operators use it where the same tractor must pull a container chassis in the morning and a flat load in the afternoon, which keeps utilisation high and the trailer mix simple.

Customisation Before Delivery

Axle count, suspension type, tyre size, king pin size and colour are settled at order confirmation. Tyre options include 11.00r20, 12r22.5, 315 and 385, and the king pin is offered in 2 inch (50mm) or 3.5 inch (90mm). The 2/3/4 axle choice is fixed with the order so the build matches the tractor and the load plan.

Buyer Questions

Can the trailer carry both 20ft and 40ft containers?

Yes. The stated function is transport of 20ft and 40ft containers, so one chassis covers both box sizes in a mixed fleet.

Which axle and suspension combination should I order?

The 2/3/4 axle layout and mechanical or air suspension are chosen at order confirmation. Tell us the load plan and the tractor, and the combination is confirmed at quotation.

What brake and tyre specification is supplied?

The trailer uses a valve brake system. Tyres are offered in 11.00r20, 12r22.5, 315 and 385, and the final set is confirmed with the order.
