What factors affect the price of a container chassis trailer?

Size: Size is one of the important factors affecting the price. The prices of 20ft, 40ft, 45ft, 53ft and extendable container chassis are all different.

Structure: In terms of structure, the prices of straight beam, gooseneck and drop frame are also different.

Material and craftsmanship: This aspect is very difficult to find, because all container chassis will be sprayed with a layer of paint to prevent rust, so the materials and craftsmanship cannot be directly observed by the naked eye, but the price of high-strength steel (such as Q345) will be higher. If we encounter a relatively low price, we should pay attention to it.

Axle: The brand and number of axles directly affect the price. Good brands include BPW/Fuwa, etc. Generally, the 20ft container chassis is 2-axle, while the 40ft container chassis trailer uses 3-axle, and the price will also be different.

Suspension system: The price of mechanical suspension and air suspension is also different. Generally, the price of air suspension is higher and more durable.

Tires and wheels: The number and brand of tires and wheels also greatly affect the price of container chassis trailers.

Brake system: Some container chassis will be equipped with safety configurations such as ABS system, advanced brake valve, EBS system, etc. The higher the safety configuration, the higher the price.

Is there a need for customization: If we have customization requirements, such as special logos, colors, twist locks, spare tires, etc., they will affect the price.

So before buying or renting, we must fully consider our needs, find multiple different suppliers to provide configurations, and then use the same configuration to find a suitable price. Based on my more than 20 years of experience in the industry, I suggest that you should still choose suppliers with higher straight beams and better reputations, such as Panda Mech.

How to Choose the Best Container Chassis Trailer?

To be honest, everyone has his own specific needs. So how choosing the best container chassis trailer is a lesson that all we need to learn. To help select the right intermodal chassis, here we give 4 factors to consider.

Usage and requirements

To transport containers, the intermodal chassis will be the best choice. But if you need to carry special containers, you need to pay attention to whether to choose a tilt chassis, an extendable chassis trailer, or just an ordinary model. What’s more, You need to be aware of the loading and unloading space’s dimensions to guarantee the chassis won’t be too large to get in.

Axles/weight limit

Based on the cargo or container’s weight, you can choose a 2 axles container chassis or a 3 axles intermodal chassis trailer. As we all know, the greater the number of axles, the greater the load capacity. But if just for daily use, 2 or 3 axles will be sufficient to handle the work.

Expenses

Before choosing a chassis, you need to know the containers’ specifications, unloading space dimensions, and even road conditions, then choose the 2 axles or 3 axles in 20ft or in 40ft. If you need a customized type, the cost will be higher than the ordinary one.

Conclusion:

Common container chassis is divided into 20ft and 40ft, 2 axles, and 3 axles. Container chassis prices are determined by configuration. Panda Mech can be customized according to your needs.
