Service

Trailer Transportation

The right trailer depends on what is being moved. We operate skeletal trailers built to carry containers and flatbed trailers for loads that need an open deck.

Overview

How this service works

A skeletal trailer is a frame designed around a container’s corner castings. It is light, so more of the vehicle’s capacity is left for cargo, and it is the usual choice for standard container movements.

A flatbed trailer has a full deck. It can carry containers as well as loads that are not containerised, and is useful where the cargo or the handling method at site calls for an open platform.
