Heavy Duty 20ft 40ft Container Skeleton Semi Trailer

The container skeleton semi trailer is a steel chassis built to carry 20ft and 40ft containers on road and port runs. Fleet operators and importers use it where fast box changes and low tare weight matter. Its 500mm main beam and heavy duty mechanical suspension give the frame the stiffness that repeated container handling demands.

Why It Works On Site

• Load capacity 15001-80000 KG covers light 20ft boxes through to fully loaded 40ft units, so one chassis type serves mixed freight.
• Main beam height 500mm, 14/8/16mm plates resist bending when a heavy box sits over the rear axles.
• 13/16 ton axles carry the payload across 2, 3 or 4 axle layouts and keep tyre load within fleet limits.
• Heavy duty mechanical suspension keeps the deck stable on rough terminal roads and cuts maintenance work.
• 16# channel steel or U-steel side beams hold the container corners in line during locking and unloading.
• 90mm*13mm*10 / 90mm*16mm*10 leaf springs absorb shock loads from loaded container drops.

Where It Is Used

This container skeleton semi trailer suits port drayage, rail terminal shuttles and depot-to-warehouse moves. Operators haul standard 20ft and 40ft boxes loaded with machinery, building materials, packaged goods or general export cargo.

It also works for short-haul container transfers between yards, where quick twist-lock changes and a predictable deck height save turnaround time.
