Skeleton semi trailer, also known as container chassis, container trailer or skeleton trailer, is a type of semi trailer specifically designed for transporting various sizes of shipping containers (mainly 20 foot, 40 foot, sometimes 45 foot containers). It consists of a sturdy open frame or "skeleton" structure with a locking mechanism (twist lock) to secure the container during transportation. Unlike flatbed trailers with continuous decks, skeleton trailers have the smallest surface area, exceeding the necessary support and locking points for containers. This design minimizes weight and maximizes payload capacity.

When changing vehicles and ships midway, there is no need to remove the goods from the container and reload them.It can be quickly loaded and unloaded, and can be easily converted from one mode of transportation to another.
Due to its simpler design and lower weight, skeleton trailers typically have lower purchasing and operating costs compared to other types of trailers. They also require less maintenance.
