A container trailer is a type of semi-trailer designed to carry shipping containers. It is commonly used for transporting goods over long distances, especially in international shipping, intermodal freight transport, and logistics. While the most common container sizes are 20 ft and 40 ft containers, the semi-trailer can also carry larger containers, such as 30 ft or even 45 ft, depending on the specific design. Armatech can produce 20, 30, 40, 45 ft container trailers with 4 to 12 locks. This model is also well known as a trombone trailer, which at 40 ft length can be extended to 45 ft pneumatically. Container trailers can be customized according to customer demand.
