40ft Container Loader Trailer Detailed Description
Independent Operation and Adaptability
ZW Group’s 40ft container loader trailer is an efficient solution for independently handling 20ft and 40ft containers. Unlike conventional models, it features a sliding side-lifter system. This system allows the front and rear cranes to adjust position based on container length, ensuring precise alignment and smooth self-loading.
Performance and Reliability
The robust dual-crane hydraulic system lifts containers up to 37 tons, operating at a high pressure of 28 MPa. The trailer is built on a high-strength chassis, supported by mechanical suspension and three 13-ton axles. This structure is ideal for heavy-duty operation in ports, container yards, and construction sites. The unit includes reliable landing gear, multiple brake chambers, and an integrated 24V electrical safety system. Fleet planning is flexible, as buyers can purchase the tractor, trailer, and sideloader separately or as a complete set.
