40 Foot Straight Frame Container Chassis
40ft Chassis Shipping Container Trailer Truck Trailer Container Chassis Trailer
40 foot straight frame chassis are needed for 40 foot containers without tunnels. Some custom built 40 foot containers are being built without tunnels which makes it impossible for the container to fit a standard 40 foot gooseneck type chassis. So if you are carrying custom made containers it important to identify whether your container has a tunnel. The 40 foot straight frame chassis will carry flat and tunnel type containers 8 foot 6 inches high.
Chassis is designed and built according to Association of American Railroads (AAR), Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), International Standards Organization (ISO), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Department of Transportation (DOT), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) standards.
Chassis come standard with 10×20 tires on 5 spoke wheels and spring suspension. Options include air suspension and 11R22.5 tires on 10-hole disc wheels.

Container chassis are available in a variety of types, but the one you choose will depend heavily on your needs, budget, and shipping requirements. Such chassis can accommodate many different weight loads, as well as container sizes and types (including specialized containers). The chassis plays an important role, as it connects and carries the weight of cargo between modes of transport.

Our chassis are well-maintained to meet Federally and locally mandated roadability laws. Our chassis were manufactured to provide high-reliability and feature components such as sealed beam LED lighting, extra-heavy-duty landing gear, specially coated brake shoes and locking mechanisms that better withstand damage.
While in service, chassis were maintained and repaired under supervision of our depot and pool technical staff to assure our customers safe and reliable service. Chassis come in sizes tailored to the containers they carry, with some chassis being adjustable for different containers.
Intermodal chassis are utilized within the shipping and railroad industries to bring containers to and from railroads and ports to the end customer. They can transport containers from trucks between ports, terminals, and warehouses, acting as a critical support in the supply chain. They are comprised of a steel frame with tires and axle systems, brakes, suspension systems, and lighting, as well as add-ons such as GPS, LED lighting, weight sensors and more.
About Intermodal & Container Trailers (Chassis Only)
Despite the long history of shipping large quantities of goods from one destination to another, often via ship or train, the intermodal or container trailers you commonly see today really didn’t exist until the mid-1950s when Malcom P. McLean set out to develop the rectangular containers and then modify a ship for carrying those containers.
Within a matter of years, the containers, sometimes referred to as freight containers and sea cans, became widely used and the industry standardized on sizes and corner fittings so the same container, regardless of manufacturer, could easily be stacked and transported by train, truck, or ship and loaded and unloaded by crane. Thanks to ISO standards, the most common container sizes today are 20 or 40 feet, with heights of 8 feet, 6 inches and widths of 8 feet, although both oversized and smaller containers are available.
Different container chassis models in the market
Depending on your shipping requirements and, of course, the container size, there are several types of chassis available in the market. Let’s take a look at them.
Chassis type by feature/design
- Gooseneck chassis
- Extendable chassis
- Heavy-duty chassis
- Lightweight chassis
- Combo chassis
- Rear B-train chassis
- Straight frame chassis
- Canadian Chassis
Number of axles/ weight threshold
You can choose the number of axles in the chassis depending on the cargo or container weight. Remember: the more the number of axles, the more the load capacity it can hold. For daily usage, 2 or 3 axle chassis is your best choice.
A standard chassis transports standard ISO containers (20ft and 40ft) with two axles. Generally, a tri-axle chassis is needed to carry 20ft containers above the weight of 36,000 lbs or 40ft containers above 44,000 lbs.
You can choose different types and sizes of container chassis depending on your requirements.
