So, How to Choose the Right Semi Trailer Type for your transport containers?

Your choice among these types of semi trailers, it is first depends on your preferences, based on the type of job you need done. Normally, the choice is usually made based the following situation:

Weight Capacity Requirement:
All these semi trailer can carry a considerable amount of weight. However, the 2 or 3 axles container chassis trailer is of much help, when weight considerations are to be made. Its constructions has primarily been made to provide a chassis, which can help you carry high weight containers. Most importantly, this can be adjusted to meet your desired conditions of maneuverability, loading, offloading & axle spacing.

Number of Axles.
Based on the amount of cargo to carry, semi trailer considerations can be made looking at the number of axles for every semi trailer. They could be 2 axles / 3 axles, or even 4 axles. Don’t expect one with more than 4 axles because a container’s max weight capacity is 30 tons. For instance, the flatbed trailer structure has a capability of supporting a number of wheel axle assemblies at different positions along the container semi trailer length.

Application
If you use semi trailer to transport not only container, but also some other cargo (such as steels, machines, tubes, bag cement etc), it is better to choose the flatbed trailer type. The container chassis is only used for container. Should your work require loading and offloading at certain inclined positions, then the container tilt trailer would be the best choice for you.

Container Semi Trailer Price.
No matter what, trailer Cost is also an very important factor to consider in your choice of a semi trailer transport container. If all you need is a simple trailer for a simple application, it wouldn’t be wise to choose the Lowbed semi container trailer. The container lowbed type trailer has a higher price than the rest. This is primarily due to its advanced main trailer chassis. A normal flatbed or a container chassis will do, it will saving your cost.
