Combo & Special Models

Combo configurations are specially designed to carry various cargo containers (20ft, 2×20ft empties and 40ft), and some units are designed to carry up to 75000 lbs or more, depending on local law and permit routes.

What is the weight limit for a 20ft tri axle chassis?

A 20ft tri axle chassis is typically rated for around 30 tons of container weight, depending on design and local regulations.
The exact limit is set by the chassis GVWR, axle rating and your country’s axle-load laws, so final allowable payload must follow local road rules and permits.

What is the legal weight for a 40ft tri axle chassis?

A 40ft tri axle chassis is usually legally loaded to roughly 60 tons of container weight.
Structurally, many 3-axle chassis can handle high payloads, but the real limit is your national gross combination weight and axle-load regulations, which often cap how heavy you can run even if the chassis is stronger.

What is the difference between 2 axle and 3 axle chassis?

Neither is universally better; a tri axle chassis is superior for heavy, high-density containers, while a regular two-axle chassis is better for lighter loads and lower operating costs. Tri axles improve weight distribution, stability and road protection, but they cost more and turn wider. Choose based on payload, regulations and total life-cycle cost.

Can a 3 axle chassis carry overweight containers?

A 3 axle chassis can be engineered to carry heavier or “overweight” containers structurally, but it still cannot exceed legal road limits without permits.
More axles help distribute load and protect the frame, yet enforcement is based on axle weights and gross weight, not only on chassis strength.

What is the tare weight of a tri axle chassis?

A typical tri axle container chassis has a tare weight of about 6.3 tons (6300kg) for a 40ft design.
20ft tri axle chassis are lighter (around 4.5 tons, 4500kg), while heavy-duty or reinforced models can be higher. Exact tare weight depends on beam design, steel grade, axle brand and added options.

Tri axle chassis vs regular chassis: which is better?

A tri axle chassis is better for heavier, long-haul and export work, while a regular 2-axle chassis suits lighter, local operations.
Three axles give higher legal payload, lower load per axle, better stability and tire life, but add tare weight, cost and slightly higher maintenance compared with a standard 2-axle frame.

What containers fit a tri axle chassis (20/40/45ft)?

Most tri axle skeletal chassis are designed to carry 1×40ft or 2×20ft containers, with some models also supporting 45ft containers.
Standard layouts place twist locks for 20ft and 40ft ISO positions. Extended or specialized tri axle chassis can add 45ft positions, depending on regional regulations and operator requirements.

How much does a tri axle chassis cost?

A tri axle container chassis typically costs in the range of roughly USD $8,400-15,600 per unit, depending on specification.
Price varies with steel thickness, axle and suspension brand, brake system (ABS/EBS), tire choice, coating quality, and any customization. Export volume, payment terms and local certification needs also influence final pricing.
