A skeletal semi-trailer, also known as a container chassis, container trailer, or skeletal trailer, is a type of semi-trailer specifically designed for transporting shipping containers of various sizes (primarily 20-foot, 40-foot, and sometimes 45-foot containers). It consists of a strong, open frame or "skeleton" structure with locking mechanisms (twist locks) to secure the container(s) during transport. Unlike flatbed trailers, which have a continuous deck, skeletal trailers have minimal surface area beyond the necessary supports and locking points for the container. This design minimizes weight and maximizes payload capacity.

When changing vehicles and ships midway, there is no need to remove the cargo from the container and reload it. *** It can be quickly loaded and unloaded, and can be directly and conveniently converted from one mode of transportation to another.
Due to their simpler design and lower weight, skeletal trailers are generally less expensive to purchase and operate than other types of trailers. They also require less maintenance.
