20ft Container Skeleton Trailer
Lightweight 20ft container chassis | 20 – 50 tons, 4 twist locks
MOQ: 1 unit | Delivery: 15-30 days | OEM / ODM / CKD / SKD available
Configurations
Product Introduction
The 20ft container skeleton trailer is the lightest way to move a 20ft box: an open skeletal frame with 4 ISO twist locks, no platform plate, so tare weight drops and fuel economy improves on every trip.
Rated 20 – 50 tons on 2 or 3 axles, with a 500 mm high I-beam and 42 cross ribs. For two 20ft containers on one trailer, see the 40ft chassis page with 12 twist locks.
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.
