20/40/45′ Extendable Triaxle Container Chassis for Sale

The 20/40/45′ Extendable Triaxle Container Chassis is a heavy-duty intermodal transportation chassis designed for commercial operators who need flexibility across multiple ISO container lengths. According to the supplied KPM Intermodal specifications, this chassis is designed for transporting a 20-foot ISO tank container and is engineered to meet DOT, AAR, ANSI, TOFC, FMVSS, SAE, and TTMA specifications.

Its extendable configuration and triaxle design make it particularly well suited to container transportation operations where different equipment configurations need to be handled by the same chassis.

Versatile 20/40/45-Foot Configuration

The principal advantage of this chassis is its ability to support multiple container configurations. Its approximately 43-foot overall chassis length provides the structural platform required for its 20/40/45-foot intermodal configuration.

This type of extendable chassis is well suited to commercial fleets handling different container lengths and applications where chassis flexibility is important.

Heavy-Duty Triaxle Design

The chassis uses a triaxle configuration with a 109-inch axle spread, providing a robust platform for commercial intermodal transportation.

The supplied specifications state a 67,200 lb payload capacity (30,480 kg) and an approximate tare weight of 7,340 lbs ±3%. These figures provide substantial carrying capability while keeping chassis tare weight relatively low for a heavy-duty intermodal unit.

Actual permitted payload should always be determined according to the container’s loaded weight and the applicable federal, state, local, axle and bridge regulations.

Commercial Intermodal Construction

The chassis measures approximately 96 inches wide, with a stated 48 ±1 inch fifth-wheel height and 44 ±1 inch rear deck height.

The landing gear is positioned approximately 95 inches from the kingpin center, while the kingpin is located approximately 16 inches from the front face of the pickup plate.

These dimensions are important for fleet operators verifying tractor compatibility and overall chassis configuration.

Built for Professional Container Transportation

The chassis is designed for commercial intermodal use rather than light-duty hauling. Its specifications make it suitable for logistics fleets, freight carriers, container transport companies, intermodal operators, terminals, and other commercial organizations that regularly move ISO equipment.

The combination of a high payload rating, triaxle configuration, and extendable chassis architecture provides flexibility for operations handling multiple container lengths.

Specifications

The specifications above are taken from the supplied KPM Intermodal product information. KPM identifies the product as a 20/40/45′ Extendable Triaxle Container Chassis and specifies the 43-foot overall length, 96-inch width, 7,340 lb tare weight, and 67,200 lb payload.

Ideal Applications

This chassis is designed for demanding commercial applications including:

• Intermodal container transportation
• ISO tank transportation
• Freight and logistics operations
• Container-hauling fleets
• Port and terminal operations
• Commercial container repositioning

Important Buyer Considerations

Before purchasing, confirm the intended container configuration, tractor compatibility, fifth-wheel height, axle requirements, loaded container weight, and applicable road regulations.

The stated 67,200 lb payload capacity is a chassis specification and should not automatically be interpreted as the legally permissible payload for every route or jurisdiction.
