Skeleton Semi Trailers

What is a skeleton semi-trailer?

Skeleton semi-trailer also known as a container trailer, is a type of trailer that is primarily used to transport shipping containers. A "skeleton" trailer is so named because it has a skeletal structure consisting of a flatbed and a series of cross members that support the container. This design provides an open framework for easy container loading and unloading, making it a popular choice in the shipping and logistics industry.

The skeleton semi-trailer is intended to transport containers of various sizes and types, including 20 feet, 40 feet, and 45 feet containers. The flatbed design of the trailer provides a stable platform for the container to rest on, while the cross members ensure that the weight of the container is evenly distributed across the trailer.

Structure of the skeleton semi-trailer

• Skeletal semi-trailers will typically have four to twelve container twist locks so that the driver can load a range of different Containers (e.g. 2x 20 feet or 1x 40 feet).
• Semi-axles can be specified with two, three and four axles using single or dual wheels and disc or drum brakes. A self-grooving rear axle will be mounted on the quad trailer (four axles) to reduce tire wear.
• The skeletal trailer is also available with axle sets at the front and rear and a dolly to drive. For specialized applications, they may have a sliding platform to help with weight distribution, may have hydraulic suspension with vehicle height adjustment, and may even be in a stepped or cantilever configuration.

Difference between the skeletal trailer and flatbed trailer 

Skeletal trailers and flatbed trailers are two distinct types of trailers used in the transportation industry. While they share some similarities, there are also significant differences between the two.

A flatbed trailer is a type of trailer that has an open, flat platform with no sides or roof. It is commonly used to transport large, heavy, or oversized loads that cannot be easily transported on a regular truck. The platform is typically made of steel and is supported by a series of beams or cross members that run underneath the trailer. Flatbed trailers are versatile and can be loaded and unloaded from any direction, making them a popular choice for a variety of applications.

On the other hand, a skeletal trailer is a type of trailer that is designed to carry shipping containers. It consists of a flatbed platform with a series of twist locks that securely attach to the container corners. The skeletal trailer is also supported by a series of beams or cross members, but the main purpose of the trailer is to provide a secure base for the container.

Benefits of skeleton semi-trailers

There are several advantages to using a skeleton semi-trailer to transport shipping containers:

• Versatility: The skeleton semi-trailer is designed to transport various sizes and types of shipping containers, making it a versatile option for transporting different kinds of cargo.
• Cost-effective: Because it requires less material to construct than other types of trailers, the skeleton semi-trailer is a cost-effective option for transporting shipping containers.
• Simple Loading and Unloading: The open framework of the skeleton semi-trailer allows for simple loading and unloading of shipping containers. This feature can save time and money during the loading and unloading process.
• Increased Payload: Because the skeleton semi-trailer is designed to carry heavy loads, it is an excellent choice for transporting larger containers. This feature can save money on transportation by allowing larger loads to be transported in fewer trips.
• Increased Stability: The skeleton semi-flatbed trailer's design provides a stable platform for the container to rest on, while the cross members ensure that the container's weight is evenly distributed across the trailer. This feature improves transportation stability, lowering the risk of accidents or cargo damage.

Overall, the skeleton semi-trailer is a versatile, cost-effective, and efficient option for shipping container transportation. Its open framework, locking mechanism, and safety features make it a dependable choice for road cargo transport.\
