There are various methods for shipping flatbed trailers to clients, including bulk cargo, roll-on-roll-off, and container shipping. While bulk and ro-ro options may be more cost-effective, container shipping is often chosen due to its ability to reach certain destinations or for enhanced transportation safety. Here's how to transport a flat deck trailer within a container:
Shipping in a 45-Foot Container:
For a 45-foot container, most container van trailers can be directly loaded. The container can accommodate two such trailers.
Before loading, the flatbed semi-trailer requires minor preparation: tires are removed, and if equipped with a baffle, it too is detached.
Utilizing cranes and forklifts, the trailers are carefully placed into the container, alternating between the two to optimize space.
Finally, any accessories are loaded alongside the trailers.
Shipping in a 40-Foot Container:
Shipping a 40-foot trailer in a 40-foot container necessitates docking the trailer. However, not all 40-foot trailers are suitable for this; the decision must be made prior to production.
We specialize in producing dockable flatbed semi-trailers, typically featuring a long rear suspension design. These trailers are manufactured in two sections that can be bolted together.
We provide installation accessories to enable easy assembly upon receipt.
During shipping, the trailer's tail is docked first, followed by separately packing the frame and tail into the container.
This approach simplifies transportation, ensures ease of operation, and saves on sea freight costs while maintaining the trailer's quality.
As a reputable semi-trailer manufacturer, we prioritize not just quality products but also customer convenience. Trust us for your truck trailer needs, and we assure you of the finest quality at competitive prices.
