1. Structure design

The cargo compartment of a skeletal semi trailer belongs to the category of cargo. They are integrated. The body is only the frame, and the cargo can be unloaded together with the container when unloading. On the other hand, the cargo compartment of a box trailer is fixed and cannot be detached separately. The cargo is only loaded in the box and be removed piecemeal from the box when unloading.

2. Length limit

According to the relevant provisions, the length of the skeleton trailer limit of 13.95 meters. This is mainly in consideration of the length of the container. For example, the length of a semi-trailer capable of transporting a 45 feet container is 13.95 meters according to the skeletal trailer dimensions. And the box trailer length limit is 13.75 meters.

3. Use

You can use a skeletal container trailer or a box trailer for different cargo types. Containers can be transported by using skeletal semi trailers. You often see large containers in the docks and ports to load and transport through this type of trailer. The box trailer has less cargo-carrying capacity in comparison. And it is mainly used for transporting household appliances, light textile goods, and other goods. In most cases, this type is often required for long-distance transport, such as express shipping.

4. Loading capacity

We have, in fact, just mentioned this issue. The two types of semi-trailers have different loading capacities. In general, the skeletal container semi trailer is superior in this respect. It has a greater loading capacity. But this is not absolute. You can choose from a variety of sizes to suit your shipping requirements. As one of the best China semi trailer manufacturers, Shandong Fudeng Auto Co., Ltd. has a semi-trailer design and research team dedicated to providing the highest-quality semi-trailers.

5. Safety performance

The safety performance of a semi-trailer is closely related to many factors. However, the safety of the container skeletal semi-trailers could be improved if only the construction of the trailer is taken into account. Because the skeletal container trailer loaded container and the body is not one, it is connected by a particular container lock. If in the case of a full load when encountering emergency braking, it is easy to cause damage to the cargo compartment, and even the cargo compartment into the cab, threatening the safety of personnel. In contrast, the cargo compartment of the box trailers is fixed and cannot be taken down individually. This increases the security during transport considerably.
