Three-axle flatbed semi-trailers typically feature a flat loading platform without side panels or a roof, facilitating cargo loading, unloading, and transport. They are typically 40 feet in length and can carry one 40-foot container or two 20-foot containers. They can also be used to transport lumber, machinery, and heavy equipment. Three-axle flatbed semi-trailers have a strong load capacity, generally rated at around 40 to 50 tons. They meet the single-trip transport needs of most industrial raw materials, equipment, and bulk commodities, eliminating the need for multiple round trips, improving single-trip efficiency and reducing overall logistics costs. The three-axle design allows for more even load distribution, a lower center of gravity, and enhanced traction during driving. This effectively reduces cargo sway on bumpy roads, minimizing damage and driving risks caused by a shifted center of gravity, making them suitable for medium- and long-distance trunk transport. The pure flatbed structure, without side panels or a roof, allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from the front, side, or even top (with a crane). Forklifts and cranes can be used for rapid loading and unloading, significantly reducing loading and unloading time, making them particularly suitable for large and heavy cargo.
Three-axle flatbed semi-trailers are shipped stacked on three semi-trailers, significantly saving shipping space and reducing ocean freight costs. Based on the load capacity and weight distribution of the three-axle semi-trailers, appropriate lashing tools, such as wire ropes and tie-downs, must be used during loading to secure the three flatbed semi-trailers and prevent them from shifting or falling during transport. Prior to shipment, our shipping team thoroughly inspects all three flatbed semi-trailers to ensure they are free of potential faults and waxes them to prevent rust during shipping. A tarpaulin is also provided to protect the flatbeds from rain.
Our rigorous and comprehensive shipping process ensures that the semi-trailers, and indeed all our products, are delivered intact and function properly.
