40ft Container Chassis Semi Trailer
Skeletal frame | 3 axles | 30-80 tons | 1×40ft or 2×20ft containers
MOQ: 1 unit | Delivery: 15-30 days | OEM / ODM / CKD / SKD available
Configurations
Product Introduction
The 40ft container chassis semi trailer (skeletal trailer) is our main product for container logistics. The through beam structure – flat type or gooseneck type – delivers high integral strength with small weight: more payload per trip, less fuel and tire wear.
Automatic submerged-arc welding on vertical beams, shot blasting on the integral frame, and electrophoresis painting keep the chassis reliable for years of container duty.
Applications
- Container transport: 1×40ft, 2×20ft combinations.
- Port and terminal transfer: high-frequency short hauls.
- Shipping lines and leasing: CKD/SKD assembly cooperation available.

Features & Benefits
- 42 tough ribs design ensures safety and carrying capacity.
- Anti-tire-abrasion suspension prevents tire offset after loading – a common skeleton trailer pain point.
- Lighter than flatbed: skeletal structure saves 800-1,200 kg tare weight vs flatbed, one more container of payload in gross-weight-limited markets.
- Electrophoresis painting – corrosion resistance for over 10 years, critical for coastal port duty.
Manufacturing & Quality
- Automatic submerged-arc welding on vertical beams.
- Shot blasting on the integral frame removes welding stress.
- FEA (Finite Element Analysis) on vehicle structure.
- High strength full thickness steel, titanium content 0.98.
- National level welding supervision – 30 minutes per process longer.

Shipping
Ro-ro ship, bulk cargo vessel, or flat rack container depending on specification and destination. Major components are wrapped with shock-proof material and secured with steel frames.
FAQ
The skeleton (chassis) trailer carries containers only and is lighter; the flatbed has a full deck for both containers and general cargo. If you never haul loose cargo, skeleton is cheaper to buy and run.
Gooseneck lowers the traction point for stability with heavy containers; tandem (flat) is simpler and lighter. Most 40ft chassis ship in gooseneck type.
The standard deck cannot – see our 45ft skeleton trailer. Custom extension sections are possible for existing orders.
