12m 20ft Skeletal Semi Trailer Detailed Description
The 12m 20ft Skeletal Semi Trailer is designed to meet the stringent demands of container shipping and logistics industries. As a result, it features a high-quality steel frame and a reinforced main beam measuring 500mm in height, with thick plates (14mm upper, 16mm lower, 8mm middle) for exceptional structural strength and resistance to bending or torsion.
We equip the trailer with 13-ton FUWA axles, 12R22.5 Triangle tires, and robust 28-ton Chinese standard landing gear to provide reliable load-bearing performance and stability. In addition, the container twist locks are customizable (4, 8, or 12 units), securing containers firmly during transit and preventing cargo shift.
Moreover, the trailer’s lightweight chassis helps reduce fuel consumption while maintaining high durability. Its straightforward design and operational simplicity make it ideal for port loading/unloading, yard transport, and long-distance container hauling.
