Container trailers are used to transport finished products in large containers. Containers remain one of the safest ways of transporting fragile and sensitive goods. The packaging requirements in terms of height and weight vary across countries. Hence, container trailers have different designs and specifications to accommodate different capacities of containers.
There are three major types of container trailers: flatbed model, chassis model, and container side lifter trailer1. The flatbed container trailer is the most common type of container trailer. It has a flat, rigid frame that consists of two longitudinally spaced beams. The chassis model is an economically feasible and practical trailer to use. It offers a truck chassis for loading and offloading high weight containers without much effort. The container side lifter trailer is an invention that offers a truck chassis for loading and offloading high weight containers without much effort.
