Versatile. Durable. Built for Intermodal Excellence.
The Chassis 45′ is designed for operators who need maximum flexibility in container transport. Engineered to handle 20′, 40′, and 45′ containers with equal capability, this chassis delivers the strength, safety, and adaptability that intermodal operations demand. Built with high-tensile steel, reliable air-operated slider mechanism, and heavy-duty bolsters, this chassis performs across various container lengths and weight requirements that define modern freight logistics.
The multi-length capability means you can take on diverse loads without needing multiple specialized chassis in your fleet. Whether you’re running port logistics, intermodal freight, or regional container transport, this chassis adapts to the work that comes your way. The air-operated slider mechanism makes length adjustments smooth and fast, keeping turnaround times tight when switching between different container sizes.
High-tensile steel construction provides the strength needed for heavy container loads while maintaining a weight-efficient design. The heavy-duty bolsters secure containers safely during transport, and the robust frame handles the constant loading cycles that intermodal operations demand. Built for operators who need equipment that works reliably across different container types and freight applications.
Engineered for the fast-paced world of intermodal logistics where versatility directly impacts profitability. The ability to handle three different container lengths with one chassis means more opportunities to stay loaded and fewer deadhead miles. Every component is designed for the demanding schedules and diverse loads that characterize successful container transport operations.
For operators who need one chassis that handles multiple container sizes efficiently, the Chassis 45′ delivers the versatile solution that moves your business forward. When flexibility and reliability matter in competitive intermodal markets, this chassis provides the multi-length capability that keeps your operation adaptable and profitable.
