Product Introduction
Applicable Containers: Standard 20-foot, 40-foot, and 45-foot containers.
Number of Axles: 3 axles (Tri-axle), typically equipped with 13-ton to 16-ton axles.
Load Capacity: Designed load capacity is typically between 30 and 50 tons.
Material: High-strength low-alloy steel (such as Q345B or T700) ensures the frame is not easily deformed under heavy loads.
Locking: Equipped with 8 or 12 standard container turn locks for securing containers of different sizes.
Lightweight Design: Compared to flatbed semi-trailers, the skeleton trailer is lighter, effectively reducing fuel consumption and increasing payload.
High Durability: The frame is typically shot-blasted and KTL electrophoretic powder coating, providing excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for coastal port environments.
Suspension System: Optional mechanical leaf spring suspension or air suspension. Air suspension effectively absorbs vibrations, protecting fragile container cargo such as electronic components.
