Among them, 20ft and 40ft containers are the most commonly used.The number of axles can be configured according to different load capacity requirements.With a general load range of 20 to 60 tons, SHIYUN usually use two, three or four axles to ensure safe transportation of various containers.For skeleton container semi-trailers, we also sometimes refer to them as trailer container chassis.A trailer chassis is a type of semi-trailer specially designed for transporting containers.
Container twist locks are the most prominent feature of this model, and also an indispensable component of container transport semi-trailers.SHIYUN trailers are compatible with both standard Dry Containers and Reefer Containers.

2.Functions and features:

According to the dimensions of ISO standard containers, the most common lengths for container skeleton semi-trailers are 20ft, 40ft and 45ft. Classified by different functions and design features, container skeletal carriers can be divided into the following categories.:

  • 20 footer skeletal container trailer :

For 20ft containers, straight-beam skeletal container semi-trailers were more popular in the past, but gooseneck skeletal trailers offer better performance and greater advantages.They lower the platform height effectively, making them more suitable for passing bridges and areas with height restrictions.SHIYUN 20ft container skeletal semi-trailers chassis are standardly equipped with two axles, and tri-axle versions can also be manufactured according to customers’ special requirements.

The gooseneck type also effectively lowers the platform height.A 40feet skeletal trailer can carry either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers at the same time, and is generally equipped with 4 to 14 twist locks.To reduce the overall weight, many customers also choose single-tire 385/65R22.5 skeleton trailer container chassis or aluminum alloy material skeleton trailer container chassis.

3.Delivery and Shipment

As the external dimensions of a skeletal semi-trailer exceed those of a standard 40-foot shipping container, it cannot be fully loaded into a 40-foot container under normal conditions. We generally use three methods to ship skeletal semi-trailers:
3.1 40-foot container shipping: The rear section of the semi-trailer must be cut off. After the customer receives the goods, they can reattach the rear section using high-strength bolts provided by us. One 40-foot container can hold 2 to 4 semi-trailers.

3.2  45-foot container shipping: If the customer accepts higher ocean freight, this is a better option, as no cutting of the trailer rear is required and you will receive a complete, intact unit. One 45-foot container can hold 2 to 4 semi-trailers.

3.3  Roro ship / bulk carrier shipping: Some customers also choose to transport the vehicles to the destination port via roll-on ships or bulk cargo ships.
