Why a Skeletal Chassis for Refrigerated Boxes?
A skeletal chassis is a lightweight yet robust frame engineered to carry refrigerated containers/boxes. Compared to conventional trailers, it enables quicker (un)loading while maintaining high stability during long hauls.
- Flexibility: Compatible with common refrigerated box/container sizes.
- Strength: High-grade steel structure for secure heavy-duty use.
- Durability: Anti-corrosion surface treatments for extended service life.
- Efficiency: Reduced tare weight for improved fuel economy.
Key Applications
- Food & Beverage Distribution: Fresh/frozen products from farm to retail with stable temperature control.
- Pharmaceutical Logistics: Temperature-sensitive medicines and medical supplies.
- International & Intermodal Shipping: Fits standard reefer boxes for port-to-warehouse transfers.
Engineering & Quality
Our skeletal chassis are manufactured with European-certified materials and modern welding techniques. Each unit is validated for structural integrity, braking performance, and durability under challenging road conditions.
- High-strength S355JR (or equivalent) main beams with optimized cross-members.
- Twist-lock points positioned for standard reefer footprints.
- Brake systems compatible with EU standards (e.g., ECE R13), ABS/EBS options.
- Surface protection options: zinc-rich primer + polyurethane paint, or hot-dip galvanizing.
Customization Options
- Dimensions & Wheelbase: Tailored to your regional regulations and turning radius needs.
- Axle & Suspension: Mechanical or air suspension; single/dual tire setups; lift axle options.
- Load Securing: Extra lashing points, reinforced front bulkhead, toolbox solutions.
- Finish: Custom paint RAL codes, company branding, reflective markings.
