How It Compares
Against a 40-foot skeletal, this chassis is far more manoeuvrable and cheaper but limited to 20-foot boxes. Terminals running heavy short-sea boxes usually keep both.
Operating Notes
- Check twist locks are locked and pinned after every landing.
- Watch the rear overhang when turning inside container stacks.
- Rotate tyres on schedule; yard duty wears them unevenly.
Every vehicle ships with an illustrated operation manual covering coupling, braking and turning technique.

Three axles under a 20 ft chassis?
Yes. The three-axle layout spreads a heavy 20-foot box, which is often loaded close to its maximum gross weight.
Is ABS fitted?
Standard build is without ABS. Tell us at order stage if it is required for registration in your market.
Can it carry a 40 ft container?
No. This is a straight 20-foot chassis. For 40 and 45-foot boxes use our 12.5 m skeletal semi trailer.
Do you ship to my country?
SINOHENG exports in bulk to 30+ countries and regions across Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America. Send your destination port with the enquiry and we will quote delivery with the trailer.
Ask for a Drawing Before You Commit
We confirm dimensions, axle loads and coupling height on an approval drawing before any steel is cut, so the trailer is legal and couples to your tractors.
