Our flatbed semi-trailers are the most asked-for trailer in the fleet – one frame that carries containers, steel pipes, timber, machinery, building materials and general cargo. Most of what we export from Qingdao is exactly this type: 40ft and 45ft platform bodies with 3 or 4 axles, rated up to 80 tons.
Standard specs we build
40ft or 45ft platform length (12.2m / 13.7m)
3 axles standard, 4 axles for heavier routes (BPW, Fuwa or ZF axle options)
Q345 high-strength steel main beam and cross members
12R22.5 tyres, 8 to 12 pieces depending on the axle config
Mechanical or air suspension – air is a good option for fragile cargo like glass and electronics
Optional extras: container twist locks, side walls, removable posts, rub rails, toolbox
For container work we also build skeleton (container chassis) semi-trailers – lighter frame, twist locks fitted, sized for 20ft, 40ft or 45ft boxes. Many of our customers in East Africa run container skeleton trailers from the port to inland depots, then add a flatbed for general cargo on the way back.
Prices start from around USD 11,000 for a 3-axle 40ft flatbed FOB Qingdao, depending on axle brand, suspension and extras. Lead time is 20-25 days after deposit.
