Core Advantages
Container-Specific Design: Standardized twist locks are precisely positioned to match the corner castings of 40ft containers, enabling quick locking/unlocking (operation time ≤ 5 minutes) and preventing container shifting during transit. The flat deck design ensures seamless alignment with container bases, distributing load evenly.
Robust and Durable Structure: Automatic submerged-arc welding and full-body shot-blasting treatment enhance structural integrity and corrosion resistance, extending service life even under frequent loading/unloading and exposure to coastal/moist environments. Thickened longitudinal beams reinforce load-bearing capacity for heavy containers (up to 40 tons).
Enhanced Safety Performance: Equipped with roll stability program (RSP) and reinforced lashing rings (supplementary for oversized/irregular containers), the trailer minimizes accident risks. The WABCO EBS braking system ensures responsive and stable braking, even when fully loaded on downhill roads or wet surfaces.
Operational Efficiency: Compatible with standard container handling equipment (forklifts, gantry cranes), it streamlines loading/unloading processes at ports and warehouses. The low deck height (1350mm) reduces wind resistance during transport, improving fuel efficiency and driving stability.
Flexible Adaptability: Supports customization of axle quantity (3-4 axles) and suspension type (mechanical/air) to meet regional load regulations. Optional accessories include container side guards, toolboxes, and LED warning lights for enhanced functionality.

Application Fields
Ideal for transporting 40ft standard containers, including:
- Dry cargo containers: For electronic goods, textiles, machinery parts, and general merchandise.
- Refrigerated containers: For perishable goods (food, pharmaceuticals) when paired with a tractor-mounted refrigeration unit.
- Open-top containers: For oversized industrial components, building materials, and equipment.
Widely used in port logistics, cross-border road transport, intermodal shipping (rail-road combined), warehouse distribution, and industrial supply chains, serving industries such as manufacturing, retail, and international trade.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the maximum payload of this trailer?
Answer: The payload capacity ranges from 20 to 40 tons, specifically designed to match the weight of 40ft standard containers.
Are the locking devices compatible with all 40ft containers?
Answer: Yes, the standardized twist locks comply with ISO container corner casting specifications, fitting all 40ft dry, refrigerated, and open-top containers.
Can it transport 20ft containers as well?
Answer: Yes, the adjustable twist locks can be repositioned to accommodate 20ft containers (supports simultaneous transport of two 20ft containers).
Does it meet international transport regulations?
Answer: It fully complies with ISO container transport standards, EU CE certification, and US DOT regulations, facilitating cross-border transport across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Is air suspension a necessary upgrade?
Answer: Air suspension is optional; it provides better shock absorption, protecting fragile cargo and reducing wear on container floors, especially suitable for long-distance transport on uneven roads.
How to maintain the trailer's locking devices?
Answer: Regularly inspect twist locks for rust or deformation, lubricate moving parts quarterly, and replace worn locks promptly to ensure secure container fixation.
Is it compatible with standard tractors?
Answer: Yes, it fits most tractors with ISO-standard 2.0/3.5 inch kingpin connections, ensuring wide applicability across different tractor brands
