What is a Container Chassis Trailer?
For transferring goods between maritime, rail and road transportation, container chassis provide an efficient solution that improves flexibility, productivity and time management. A container chassis trailer is a semi-trailer specifically designed to move shipping containers between ports, rail terminals, warehouses and distribution centres. Its open-frame structure supports the container at designated points and keeps it securely fastened during transportation.
Renting a chassis allows carriers to quickly increase their capacity during periods of higher demand, temporarily replace equipment or meet an intermodal transportation need without making an immediate purchase.
