Swap Body Container

Compared with the ISO shipping container,Container Family high-quality swap body container can efficiently transfer cargo between different transportation methods,reducing the waiting time during the loading and unloading process.

Why We Need Exchangeable Swap Body?

In traditional road transportation, drivers often have to wait for several hours to complete the loading and unloading of goods, which leads to the emergence of problems such as increased costs, decreased loading and transporting efficiency, and reduced fleet utilization rate.

The existence of exchangeable swap body solves these problems perfectly——The freight unit is completely separated from the vehicles.Drive the truck to the designated position, lower the air suspension, lower the four legs and lock the safety pins to ensure that all four legs are evenly on the ground.Then,slowly drive the truck forward.At this point,the container is standing independently on the ground and is ready for loading and unloading at any time,while the truck can then proceed to the next destination.

Key Points of This Special Container

·Light yet Durable Construction.Normally, the swap body container cannot be stacked,so it can be made of lighter materials such as steel or aluminum.At the same time,it is also sufficiently sturdy and can be used for a long time with minimal wear and tear.

·Integrated Support Legs.This is the most important feature! It can ensure that the container can stand on the floor without locking the vehicle.

·Grappler.This container does not have lifting points on its top,so the lifting has to start from the bottom.
