Swap Body Box Trailer

An interchangeable freight container with extendable, freestanding legs for dropping off or collection via a carrier.

Swap Body Box Trailers

A swap body trailer looks like a conventional box trailer. However, the carrier can leave the trailer in situ thanks to its integrated folding legs. Once the cargo arrives at the drop-off point, the trailer raises to a point high enough to clear the carrier bed. The operator then releases the freestanding support legs and locks them in place, allowing the carrier to pull clear of the swap body box trailer. When collecting a swap body trailer, the operator drives the carrier underneath the trailer. The chassis raises to take the trailer's weight before re-stowing the legs and lowering itself into place.

Key benefits
