40ft Skeleton Container Trailer 50T Payload Steel

The 3 Axle skeleton trailer is a steel container chassis built to move 20ft and 40ft boxes for fleet operators and importers. It carries a 50T load capacity on a brand-new frame, so one unit covers both terminal shuttles and road legs. The strongest reason to specify it is the combination of a heavy-duty running gear and a dual line braking system on a simple, low-maintenance skeleton.

Why It Works On Site

• 50T load capacity lets a single chassis handle dense loaded containers without a second unit on standby.
• 2/3/4 axles at 13/16T lets the buyer match axle count to the payload and road rules of each route.
• Mechanical or air suspension gives a choice between simple durability and softer ride for mixed surfaces.
• Dual line braking system supports stable, balanced stopping with a loaded box behind the tractor.
• 28t heavy duty landing gear keeps the trailer steady during uncoupling and container handling.
• 2″ (50mm) or 3.5″ (90mm) king pin lets the chassis match the fifth wheel already in the fleet.

Where It Is Used

Fleet operators use this skeleton semi trailer for port-to-warehouse runs, rail ramp transfers and container yard shuffling. The open frame locks a 20ft or 40ft box directly, so loading and unloading stay fast.

It also suits steel semi trailer work where the cargo is a sealed container rather than loose goods, keeping the deck clear of weather and damage.

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, and the brake system is specified with the build. Confirm the combination you need when the order is placed.
