Transportation

  1. Bulk cargo, without dismantling any components, shipped as a whole. Advantage: Moderate price, complete shipment, but the product is susceptible to seawater erosion.
  2. Container transportation is cheap and can effectively protect machinery during transportation. But to disassemble the machinery,you need to assemble it yourself after receiving the goods.
  3. Frame container transportation is similar to container transportation, but frame containers can transport ultra-high machinery.
  4. Ro-ro transportation. The product is in the cargo hold and has strong protection, but the price is expensive.

FAQ

A:

A skeletal semi trailer, also known as a container chassis trailer, is designed specifically for transporting shipping containers. It is widely used in ports, logistics hubs, freight stations, and international shipping routes. The structure is lightweight and frame-based, allowing efficient container handling and reducing overall transport weight.

A:

Skeletal semi trailers are mainly used for ISO standard containers, including 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft containers. Depending on the design, some models can also support two 20ft containers at the same time. Twist locks are installed on the chassis to securely fix containers during long-distance transportation.

A:

Compared to flatbed trailers, skeletal trailers are lighter in weight and more fuel-efficient due to their simplified frame structure. They are purpose-built for container transport, which improves loading efficiency in port operations. Flatbed trailers, on the other hand, are more versatile for mixed cargo types but less optimized for container logistics.

A:

Yes. Skeletal semi trailers can be customized based on operational needs. Options include 2-axle or 3-axle configurations, extendable frame design, adjustable twist lock positions, landing gear types, suspension systems, and tire specifications. We also offer reinforced models for heavy-duty port and intermodal transport applications.

A:

Skeletal trailers require relatively low maintenance due to their simple structure, but regular inspection is important. Key maintenance includes checking twist locks, brake systems, tires, and welding points. Proper lubrication and periodic inspection ensure safe container locking and long service life under frequent port and logistics operations.
