40ft Container Chassis Semi Trailer | T700 High Strength Steel | Skeletal Trailer
The KALES 3-axle 40-foot container chassis is specifically designed for maritime container and cargo transportation, ensuring both safety and efficient container handling. The welded container trailer is built to withstand the harsh conditions that semi-trailer container skeletal trailers typically face, ensuring a long service life. The main beam structure is both lightweight and robust, designed to handle heavy loads.
Engineered for Durability. Certified for Safety.
Drawing on 20 years of manufacturing experience, the Kales 40ft Skeletal Trailer is built to withstand the rigorous demands of global port logistics. Featuring T700 High-Strength Steel and Robot-Welded Construction, it guarantees stability for both 40ft and 20ft ISO containers under heavy loads.
1. Why Structure Matters: The Science Behind Durability
In container transport, the chassis is the backbone. Standard trailers often crack after 2 years due to metal fatigue. Kales solves this with engineering expertise:
450mm/500mm Deep I-Beam for Maximum Vertical Stiffness
🔬 Material Upgrade (T700 vs Q345)
We don’t use standard carbon steel. We use T700 High-Strength Steel. This material has a yield strength 2.5x higher than normal steel (Q235/Q345), allowing the trailer to carry 60 tons without permanent deformation while keeping the tare weight low to save fuel.
🤖 Robot Welding Technology
Hand welding can be inconsistent. Kales uses Automatic Submerged Arc Welding Robots for the entire main beam. This ensures deep penetration and perfectly uniform seams, eliminating “stress concentration points” where structural cracks usually start.
🛡️ Stress Relief Process
Before painting, every chassis undergoes a comprehensive Shot Blasting process. This not only removes rust but is crucial for relieving internal metal stress created during welding heating, significantly extending the fatigue life of the steel.
2. Built for Real-World Logistics (Experience)
We understand that road conditions in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America can be tough. Our design reflects our experience in these markets:
- 📦 Versatile Twist Lock System (12 Sets):
Equipped with 12 sets of ISO Twist Locks. This allows you to legally and safely transport:- • 1 x 40ft Container (Long Haul)
- • 2 x 20ft Containers (Heavy Bulk Goods)
- • 1 x 20ft Container (Center-Mounted for Balance)
- 🏗️ Reinforced Gooseneck (Double Plate):
We add a double-layer steel plate at the gooseneck area. This is the highest stress point during braking and accelerating. Our reinforcement prevents the common “gooseneck sag” issue seen in cheaper trailers. - 🌍 Global Maintainability:
By using standard components like JOST Landing Gear and WABCO Valves, you can find spare parts anywhere in the world, minimizing downtime.

3. Kales Quality Control Protocol (Trust)
We don’t just build trailers; we verify them. Every Kales 40ft Chassis must pass a strict 4-step inspection before leaving the factory. This is our promise of reliability.
🔍1. X-Ray Inspection
Detecting internal welding defects (air bubbles, cracks) invisible to the naked eye.
⚖️2. Physical Load Testing
Every prototype undergoes physical loading to ensure the main beam deflection is within safety limits.
🛑3. Brake Response Test
Testing WABCO valves for rapid air response and emergency braking effectiveness.
📏4. Laser Alignment
Ensuring axles are perfectly aligned to prevent uneven tire wear and fuel wastage.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can this trailer carry two 20ft containers safely?
A: Yes. The Kales chassis features 12 twist locks and a reinforced main beam specifically designed to handle the concentrated load of two 20ft containers (totaling up to 40-50 tons) without bending.
Q2: How do you ship this trailer to save freight cost?
A: We utilize the Stacking Method. We can stack 3 or 4 chassis trailers together as a single bundle for Bulk Cargo shipment. This reduces the shipping volume and can save you up to 30% on ocean freight.
Q3: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes. We provide a 1-Year Structural Warranty on the main beam and chassis structure. We also supply a “Lifecycle Spare Parts Service” to ensure you can always get replacement parts like brake shoes or twist locks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you customize the trailer design according to my requirements?
Yes, absolutely. As a manufacturer, we have a professional engineering team. We can customize the dimensions, loading capacity (e.g., 60 tons, 80 tons), axle brand (FUWA/BPW), suspension type, and paint color to suit your specific road conditions and transport needs.
What material do you use for the main beam?
We use high-strength Q355 or T700 steel for the main beam. This ensures the trailer is lightweight yet strong enough to withstand heavy loads and rough road conditions in Africa and Central Asia.
What is your production time?
Standard models usually take 15-20 working days after receiving the deposit. For urgent orders, we can even shorten it to 10 days. We will keep you updated with photos and videos during production.
What are your payment terms?
Our standard term is T/T (30% deposit, 70% balance before shipping). For large orders, L/C (Letter of Credit) is also negotiable.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes, we provide a 24-month warranty for the main beam. For spare parts (like brake pads, lights), we supply original parts at factory cost for the lifetime of the trailer.
