40ft Tri-Axle Skeleton Semi Trailer Detailed Description
The 40ft Tri-Axle Skeleton Semi Trailer from ZW Group is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern container transport. Its optimized skeletal frame reduces tare weight while maintaining strong load-bearing capacity, improving fuel efficiency during long-distance operations.
The trailer is equipped with three heavy-duty FUWA axles and a robust mechanical suspension system, ensuring balanced weight distribution and stable driving performance under heavy loads. High-quality container twist locks securely fix containers in place, preventing movement during transport.
A bolt-in kingpin design allows compatibility with different tractor units, while full sandblasting and multi-layer anti-corrosion coating protect the chassis from rust, moisture, and harsh port environments. This skeleton semi trailer is widely used in ports, container yards, logistics fleets, and intermodal transport systems worldwide.
