Skeletal Trailer FAQs

What is a skeletal trailer?

A skeletal trailer is a trailer frame with no walls or roof, designed to transport containers. It has the capacity to carry two 6 m trailers, as well as larger 12 m and 14 m containers.

What is a skeleton truck?

Skeletal trailers are also known as chassis trailers or skeleton trucks.

Skeletal trailer design

The design of a skeletal trailer offers flexibility because the wheelbase can be shortened to carry a 6 m container in the middle of the trailer while on the road, and move the container to the back of the trailer for loading and unloading.

What is a combi skeletal trailer?

Splitter trailers or combi skeletal trailers can transport two 6 m containers and then split in half to place both containers on a loading bay at the same time. Skeletal trailers can also be loaded and unloaded at ground level when fitted with cranes.

What size is a skeletal trailer?

The specifications for a skeletal trailer depend on the trailer’s design and how many axles it has. For example, a 3-axle skeletal trailer may typically measure between 9 m and 13.6 m, with a tare weight of 5 tonnes on a sliding chassis, and an overall payload of 30 tonnes. Specifications will vary.
