12m 20ft Skeletal Semi Trailer Detailed Description
Robust Structural Engineering
The 12m skeletal trailer is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of busy port terminals. It features a 500mm main beam made from Q345B steel.
The beam thickness (14mm upper, 16mm lower) provides exceptional resistance to bending, even under maximum loads. This structural integrity guarantees a longer service life compared to standard trailers.
Reliable Components & Safety
We use 13-ton FUWA axles and 28-ton heavy-duty landing gear to ensure stable performance during loading and unloading.
The customizable twist locks allow you to secure 20ft containers firmly, preventing any cargo shift during transit. The streamlined skeletal frame also helps reduce wind resistance and improve fuel economy.
