Container Tipping Trailer

Transport Semi-trailer Shipping Container Skeleton Three Axles Frame Skeletal Semi Truck Trailer China Factory

Three-axle skeletal container frame, 5500kg tare and 34500kg payload, the lightest chassis in the range.

Overview

What This Trailer Is Built For

A three-axle skeletal frame chassis for shipping containers, at 5500kg tare and 34500kg payload inside a 40000kg gross, all plus or minus 5 percent. At 5500kg this is the lightest chassis we build, because a skeletal frame carries only the container corner castings and the load path between them, with no deck, sides or floor to add weight. Every kilogram saved is a kilogram of container cargo. Axles are three FUWA 13T sets on reinforced mechanical suspension, landing gear is FUWA 28T, kingpin is JOST 50# or 90#, braking uses 30/30 chambers on the rear two axles with a WABCO valve, and lighting is 24V LED.

Key Benefits

What You Get

  • 5500kg tare is the lightest chassis in the range, so more of the 40 tonne gross is container cargo
  • Skeletal frame carries load through the corner castings, with no deck weight to pay for
  • Reinforced mechanical suspension repairs at any roadside workshop
  • 30/30 brake chambers on the rear two axles with a WABCO valve
  • 24V LED lighting withstands port and depot working conditions
Problems Solved

What It Fixes

  • Heavy chassis eat into the payload a loaded container can legally carry
  • Flat deck trailers carry deck weight that container work does not need
  • Underspecified braking with a loaded container is unsafe
  • Lighting failures in port operations cause delays and inspection issues

Comparison

How It Compares

Compared WithHow This Model Differs
Flatbed with twist locksThe skeletal frame saves the weight of the deck; a flatbed also carries non-container cargo.
Container tipping chassisThe tipping chassis discharges bulk from the box; this frame is lighter and purely for carrying.
Container side lifterThe side lifter loads and unloads its own container; this chassis needs lifting equipment but weighs far less.
Use Guide

Operating This Trailer

  1. Confirm all twist locks are engaged before moving
  2. Match the frame setting to the container length being carried
  3. Check brake chamber condition on the rear two axles at every service
  4. Inspect the corner casting mountings for wear regularly
  5. Verify the trailer plate weight when calculating maximum container payload
