Skeleton Semi Trailer is a kind of semi-trailer with standardizes size (customization) and steel skeleton structure, mainly used for transporting container.
A skeleton semi trailer is a specialized container transport trailer designed for carrying 20FT, 40FT and 45FT containers. With an open skeleton frame, lightweight structure and standardized container locking system, it provides an efficient solution for container transportation between ports, logistics centers, warehouses, factories and other cargo handling locations.
Our skeleton container semi trailer is available in 2, 3 and 4 axle configurations, with a maximum payload of up to 80T. The trailer is designed to accommodate different container sizes while maintaining efficient loading and unloading operations. Customers can also customize the trailer according to specific transportation requirements, including logo, design, color and other available configurations.
As a professional semi trailer manufacturer, we provide skeleton semi trailers for international container transportation applications. The trailer uses a Q345B main beam with a 500mm beam height and a specified plate thickness configuration. Mechanical suspension or air suspension with lifting is available, together with FUWA, BPW or other axle options.
A skeleton semi trailer, also called a skeleton container trailer or container chassis trailer, is designed specifically for transporting shipping containers. Unlike a conventional flatbed semi trailer, the skeleton trailer uses an open frame structure with container twist locks positioned at the required locations.
The open skeleton structure reduces unnecessary platform material while providing dedicated support points for containers. This makes the trailer suitable for container transportation where the cargo itself is enclosed within a standardized shipping container.
Depending on the selected configuration, the trailer can transport 20FT, 40FT or 45FT containers. The available 2/3/4 axle configurations allow customers to select a suitable trailer according to their required payload and transportation conditions.
The skeleton design is particularly suitable for container logistics because the trailer does not require a full solid loading deck. Instead, the container is secured directly through the container locking system, creating an efficient connection between the container and trailer chassis.
The skeleton semi trailer is designed for transporting standard shipping containers in logistics and freight operations. It can be used for container movements between ports, terminals, distribution centers, warehouses, factories and other destinations.
For customers operating container transportation fleets, the open structure and standardized twist lock configuration provide a practical solution for handling different container sizes.
One of the main advantages of a skeleton container trailer is its lightweight open-frame structure. By using a skeleton design instead of a complete solid platform, unnecessary structural weight can be reduced.
A lighter trailer can provide greater potential cargo-carrying capacity within applicable legal and operating limits. This can help improve transportation efficiency, especially for logistics companies handling large numbers of containers.
The open skeleton structure is designed around the dimensions of standard shipping containers. It can accommodate different container sizes and make effective use of the available trailer length.
The 20FT, 40FT and 45FT container configurations allow the same product series to serve different container transportation requirements. This flexibility is particularly valuable for logistics operators handling containers with different dimensions.
The skeleton semi trailer is designed for efficient container handling. Containers can be positioned directly onto the chassis and secured through the twist lock system.
This configuration can reduce unnecessary loading and unloading operations compared with trailers that require cargo to be manually loaded onto a conventional deck. Faster container handling can help reduce turnaround time and improve overall logistics efficiency.
The trailer is available for 20FT, 40FT and 45FT container transportation. Customers can select the appropriate configuration according to their fleet requirements and container transportation routes.

The main beam of this skeleton semi trailer uses Q345B material. The main beam height is 500mm, with an upper plate thickness of 14mm, down plate thickness of 16mm and middle plate thickness of 8mm.
The main beam is a key structural component of the container chassis. Its configuration is designed to provide the supporting structure required for container transportation while maintaining the open skeleton design.
Using a dedicated skeleton frame allows the trailer to focus its structural design around container support and locking points rather than requiring a complete solid loading deck.
The specified main beam height is 500mm. The upper, middle and lower plate configuration is 14mm, 8mm and 16mm respectively, according to the supplied product specification.
