12m 20ft Skeletal Semi Trailer Detailed Description
The 20ft Skeletal Container Semi Trailer from ZW Group is specifically engineered to handle ISO standard containers efficiently. Thanks to its open skeletal frame, operators can load and unload containers quickly, improving workflow at ports, logistics hubs, and intermodal terminals.
Its chassis features a 500mm reinforced main beam with 14mm upper, 8mm middle, and 16mm lower plates made from Q345 steel. This structure ensures superior resistance to bending and torsion, delivering long-term reliability under heavy loads and frequent transport.
Moreover, the trailer uses two 13-ton FUWA axles with a dual-line pneumatic brake system featuring multiple air chambers, providing stable handling and safe braking even on challenging terrains. The 12 container twist locks securely fasten containers, minimizing movement during transit.
Additionally, a corrosion-resistant paint system—including sandblasting, anti-corrosive primer, and urethane topcoat—extends the trailer’s service life while maintaining a professional appearance. Operators can also customize side guards to meet local regulations and operational preferences.
Overall, this trailer combines durability, efficiency, and safety, making it a preferred choice for global container transport, heavy freight operations, and intermodal logistics.
