Skeleton Trailers in UAE — ISO Container Transport

Golden Space manufactures skeleton semi-trailers in Sharjah for ISO container transport between UAE ports, warehouses and logistics hubs. 20ft and 40ft standard sizes.

What Are Skeleton Trailers?

A skeleton trailer — also called a skeletal trailer or container chassis — is an open-frame semi-trailer designed specifically for transporting ISO shipping containers.

Container Transport Design

It has no deck boards and uses a lightweight steel frame with integrated twist-lock positions.

Secure Locking System

The trailer locks directly onto the corner castings of standard 20ft and 40ft shipping containers.

Role in UAE Logistics

It is essential for port logistics operators, shipping lines, freight forwarders and depot operators moving containers across major UAE ports and warehouses

Golden Space skeleton trailers are manufactured in-house at the Sajja, Sharjah facility with high-strength steel frames and ISO-standard twist-lock fittings.

KEY FEATURES
& BENEFITS

Our Skeleton trailers are engineered to protect the most fragile cargo on UAE roads. Every feature is designed to eliminate damage risk and ensure safe, reliable delivery from loading to destination.

ISO Standard Twist-Lock Positions

    Twist-locks are positioned to ISO standard — compatible with all standard 20ft and 40ft shipping containers. Secure, click-lock connection.

  Lightweight Open Frame Design

 The open chassis is significantly lighter than a flatbed trailer — maximising payload capacity and reducing fuel costs on each container run.

Two Axle Options

BP 16T (9-spring) axles for 35-tonne operations or Buggy 32T axles for heavier 50-tonne container loads — choose based on your cargo type.

 High-Strength Frame

Structural steel chassis engineered for the repeated heavy loads of daily port operations — resistant to fatigue from constant loading and unloading.

Available in 20ft and 40ft

Both standard container lengths available as stock models. Custom sizes available on request.
