Detailed Description
Superior Structural Integrity & Payload
Our 40ft container chassis is constructed using advanced Q345/T700 high-strength steel. The main beam features a 500mm height with reinforced upper (14mm) and lower (16mm) plates, ensuring the trailer handles a heavy payload capacity of up to 60 tons without deformation. Whether you call it a flat deck or a highbed trailer, the 3mm thick diamond plate platform prevents cargo slippage, while the customizable chassis design ensures compatibility with local road regulations in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.
Premium Components for Road Stability
To ensure longevity and safety on rough terrains, ZW Group equips this flatbed trailer with 3 heavy-duty axles (ZW/FUWA/BPW brands available) and a reliable mechanical leaf spring suspension system (10/10/10). The unit rolls on 12 units of wear-resistant 12R22.5 tubeless tires, providing excellent grip and load distribution. We use a dual-line braking system with large air chambers to guarantee responsive braking performance and driver safety under full load conditions.
Quality Manufacturing & Finishing
Every ZW Group trailer undergoes a rigorous production process, including automatic submerged arc welding for the main beams to prevent welding defects. Before delivery, we conduct strict loading tests and performance inspections to ensure zero defects. The finishing involves sandblasting followed by one coat of anti-corrosive primer and two coats of premium polyurethane paint (Cyan or custom), offering long-lasting rust resistance. For shipping, we utilize a proven wax-polished nude packing method to protect the trailer against seawater corrosion during ocean transit.
