AAA Trailers 45’ Skeletal Trailer in Melbourne

Overview: 45’ Skeletal Trailer

Need the muscle of a 40’ model but with extra room to move? The AAA Trailers 45’ Skeletal Trailer brings added length for bigger payload potential while keeping the open-deck efficiency operators count on for fast container turnaround. With a 47-tonne ATM and 23.5-tonne GTM, it’s built to handle heavy shipping containers with confidence, from the busy freight hubs of Melbourne to long-haul runs across Victoria and the wider Australian network.


Its extended frame adjusts from 12.2 metres closed to 13.72 metres extended, offering flexibility for varying container lengths. A high-tensile steel chassis delivers the backbone for durability, paired with K-Hitch tri-axle airbag suspension and K-Hitch 22.5” drum brake axles for stable handling under load. EBS multi-volt braking and a full LED lighting system keep safety in check across every run.



Standard gear includes K-Hitch 2-speed landing legs, dual alloy wheels, plastic radius guards, and AAA-branded mudflaps, while 3-way container pins and a 50mm bolt-in kingpin (90mm optional) come ready to work. For those looking to boost capability, upgrades such as a road train kit, ring feeder, hub odometer, spare wheel, flashing beacon, and compliant long-vehicle signage are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer financing options for the skeletal trailers?

  • Can I customise the specifications of the skeletal trailers I order?

    Certainly. You can opt for a no-cost custom paint finish and select from various optional extras to match your freight operation needs. Keep in mind that made-to-order units require a longer build time compared to stock trailers ready for immediate release in Melbourne.

  • Do you have a warranty policy for your skeletal trailers?
