Skeletal Semi Trailer

A skeletal container semi-trailer (also known as a skeleton trailer) is a specialized trailer designed exclusively for transporting shipping containers. It has no floor, sides, or roof, making it a lightweight and cost-effective solution in container logistics. The container sits directly on the trailer’s frame and is secured with twist locks.
This type of trailer is widely used in ports, logistics hubs, and intermodal transportation, thanks to its simple structure, high strength, and ease of loading/unloading.
