What is a chassis?

A chassis is a special trailer or undercarriage used to transport ocean containers over the road.

A chassis will be necessary for a shipment traveling by truck and will incur a chassis fee.

A tri axle container chassis trailer will be used for overweight FCL shipments traveling by truck. Generally, a tri axle container chassis trailer is required for a 20ft container above 36,000 lbs, or a 40ft container above 44,000 lbs. 

How do chassis work?

Chassis are intended to securely attach to the container so that the container fits snugly onto the chassis, preventing excess movement. Chassis come in both 20ft container sizes and 40ft container sizes to fit an FCL container appropriately

How to choose the right tri axle container chassis trailer?

You can consider the following factors:

Usage & Requirements (Industry-specific)

If you only need to transport containers, chassis modeled specifically for containers are the best. But, if you need to move other types of cargo as well, going for a flatbed container trailer is the best – as it serves a dual purpose. If you need to load/unload cargo at specific places, a chassis trailer with a tilt feature is a great choice.

Number of Axles/Weight Threshold

Depending on the cargo or container weight, you can choose the number of axles in the chassis. More the number of axles, more the load capacity. For daily usage, 2 or 3 axle chassis are common.

Costs Incurred

Specialized chassis have higher costs than regular ones. Consider your container specifications and requirements before going for a specialized chassis or chassis trailer.

Container Chassis: Buying or Renting?

Chassis can either be rented or purchased based on your requirements. This also adds to your final costs of shipment.

If you want to buy a container chassis, costs start from USD 5,000 and can go up to USD 30,000 – varying according to your specifications. However, if you need to rent a chassis, you need to incur an additional charge: Chassis Usage Charge.
