AAA Trailers 45’ Skeletal Trailer in Adelaide

Overview: 45’ Skeletal Trailer

For container operators chasing more payload and dependable handling, this 45’ Skeletal Trailer ticks all the boxes. Adelaide operators get the reach to handle bigger payloads without losing the manoeuvrability needed in tight freight yards or metro runs. Rated at 47 tonnes ATM and 23.5 tonnes GTM, it’s purpose-built to haul heavy boxes with confidence, whether you’re pulling out of Outer Harbor, running into regional SA, or chasing long-haul work interstate.


Its extendable chassis shifts from 12.2 metres closed to 13.72 metres extended, making it adaptable for various container sizes. The high-tensile steel frame is engineered for long service life, with K-Hitch tri-axle airbag suspension and 22.5” drum brake axles delivering a smooth, controlled ride. EBS multi-volt braking and full LED lighting add safety and visibility in all conditions.



Standard features include K-Hitch 2-speed landing legs, dual alloy rims, plastic radius guards, AAA mudflaps, 3-way container pins, and a 50mm bolt-in kingpin (90mm available). For more capability, you have the option to add a road train kit, ring feeder, hub odometer, spare wheel, flashing beacon, or long-vehicle signage to suit your work.
