Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory – a trusted manufacturer since 1998 with annual export value exceeding US$5 million – proudly introduces our latest Carbon Steel 40FT Skeleton Semi-Trailer, designed specifically for efficient container transport. Our new design combines lightweight engineering with heavy-duty strength, ensuring you can move containers faster while reducing fuel consumption. With decades of metal fabrication expertise and a global customer base spanning North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa, we deliver trailers that meet the highest standards of durability and reliability. Whether you are a logistics company or a port operator, this trailer is your solution for cost-effective and safe container handling.
This skeleton semi-trailer is built to handle standard 20ft and 40ft containers with ease. The main frame is constructed from high-strength carbon steel, using advanced welding technology to ensure maximum rigidity and longevity. The lightweight design reduces tare weight, allowing higher payloads without exceeding axle load limits. Key features include:
- High-Strength Carbon Steel Frame: Made from Q345B steel, heat-treated for enhanced toughness and resistance to bending.
- Optimized Skeleton Structure: Open design facilitates quick container loading/unloading and easy inspection.
- Twist Lock System: ISO standard twist locks (4 or 8 sets) ensure secure container fixation.
- Anti-Corrosion Treatment: Full sandblasting followed by two coats of epoxy primer and polyurethane topcoat – suitable for harsh maritime environments.
- Axle Options: Available with 2 or 3 axles, each equipped with 16-ton rated capacity and wear-resistant brake linings.
- Suspension: Mechanical leaf spring suspension with shock absorbers for stable ride on highways.
- Lighting & Electrical: LED tail lights, side markers, and reflectors compliant with international road regulations.
- Customizable Accessories: Mudguards, toolboxes, spare tire carrier, and landing gear options available upon request.
