What Are Skeletal Trailers?
Also known as a skeleton trailer) is a type of semi-trailer built with a simple yet strong frame designed to carry containers securely. Unlike flatbed trailers, skeletal trailers are optimized for containerized cargo, offering locking mechanisms—called twist locks—that tightly hold the container in place during transport.
This makes them ideal for shipping, logistics, and freight forwarding companies that handle 20ft, 40ft, or 45ft containers on a regular basis. The skeletal design minimizes weight while maximizing structural strength, improving fuel efficiency and payload capacity.
