Detailed Description

Optimized Torsional Resistance

The chassis features a 500mm high main beam crafted from Q345 carbon steel.

By using 14mm upper and 16mm lower plates, the structure provides exceptional resistance to bending and torsion during high-speed highway hauls. This reinforced backbone ensures the trailer maintains its shape even under repeated heavy-duty usage in busy terminals.

Precision Components for Long-Haul Reliability

We prioritize durability by integrating JOST landing gear and a 50mm bolt-in kingpin. The 2-axle system with mechanical suspension is designed to absorb road vibrations effectively, protecting your container and the trailer’s structural integrity.

With 14 movable side stick pipes and a movable headboard, this skeletal trailer offers a level of versatility that standard models lack, making it ideal for specialized industrial cargo.
