3 Axles Skeleton Semi Trailer

 

The skeleton semi trailer is a semi trailer whose frame is welded by longitudinal beams, cross beams and front and rear end beams. Its appearance is similar to that of the flat semi-trailer, except that the frame replaces the steel plate. From the top of the body, its bottom is exposed, so the goods it transports are generally special.

Generally, skeleton truck trailer can be used to transport containers, such as ships, ports, routes, highways, transfer stations, bridges, tunnels and other logistics systems, and can also be used to transport dangerous goods tanks. For skeleton semi-trailer, both containers and tank containers for dangerous goods belong to the category of goods, and only the vehicle skeleton belongs to the body structure.

The length limit of skeleton semi-trailer is 13.95 meters, the length limit of the van semi-trailer is 13.75 meters. The reason for this difference is that the maximum length of standard containers on the market is 45 feet, or 13.715 meters. In order to facilitate the transportation of these containers, the length limit of the skeleton truck trailer is correspondingly relaxed.
