Product Parameter

Here is a breakdown of the configuration of a Container Chassis:

Frame: The trailer frame is the main structure that provides support and strength. It is typically made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy to minimize weight while ensuring durability and load stability. The frame has a skeletal design with exposed cross members for maximum strength and weight reduction.

Twist Locks: Container Chassis are equipped with multiple twist locks on the front, rear, and sometimes sides of the frame. Twist locks are locking mechanisms that secure the containers to the trailer. They connect with the container's corner castings to hold it in place during transportation.

Kingpin: The kingpin is a cylindrical pin located at the front of the trailer. It is used to connect the trailer to the fifth wheel coupling of a tractor or truck.

Landing Gear: The landing gear is a set of telescopic legs located towards the front of the trailer to support the front end when it is not connected to a tractor. The legs can be manually or hydraulically operated.

Axles: Container Chassis typically have either two or three axles, depending on the load capacity and local regulations. The axles support the weight of the trailer and distribute it evenly across the wheels. They are designed to withstand heavy loads and provide stability during transportation.

Suspension System: The suspension system consists of springs, shock absorbers, and linkages that provide a smooth and stable ride for the trailer. Common types of suspension systems used in Container Chassis include air suspension and mechanical suspension.

Wheels and Tires: The trailer is equipped with multiple wheels and tires, typically 8 or 12. The tires are designed to withstand heavy loads and provide good traction on various road conditions.

Lighting and Electrical System: The trailer is equipped with a lighting system consisting of various lights, such as tail lights, clearance lights, and turn signal lights. These lights ensure visibility and safety on the road. The electrical system also includes connectors for power supply from the tractor or truck.

Rear Bumper: A sturdy rear bumper is typically installed to protect the trailer and its cargo from rear-end collisions. It also helps provide stability when loading and unloading containers.
