AAA Trailers 40’ Skeletal Trailer in Adelaide

Overview: 40’ Skeletal Trailer

Shifting boxes out of Adelaide’s port or running containers across the border calls for gear that can handle the weight and the kilometres. The AAA Trailers 40’ Skeletal Trailer is built for dependable container haulage, whether you’re doing port shuttles, regional work, or long-haul runs through Victoria and beyond. With a 47-tonne ATM and 23.5-tonne GTM, it delivers the grunt for heavy loads while keeping your combination stable and in control.


A high-tensile steel chassis shrugs off the punishment of repeated loading and unloading, day after day. Underneath, K-Hitch tri-axle airbag suspension and 22.5” drum brake axles provide a smooth, predictable ride across metro roads and open highway stretches. The 12.2-metre frame comes with a 50mm bolt-in kingpin (90mm optional), 3-way container pins for versatility, EBS multi-volt braking, and full LED lighting for visibility in any conditions.


Standard features include K-Hitch 2-speed landing legs, 10/285 PCD dual alloy rims, and 11R22.5 tyres. Optional upgrades such as a road train kit, ring feeder, hub odometer, spare wheel, flashing beacon, and long vehicle or road train signage let you set it up to match your exact freight requirements.
