20ft Container Chassis

20ft Container Chassis for Sale

This 20ft intermodal container chassis is the workhorse frame that turns a standard marine container into a road-legal, towable load. Designed to carry a single 20ft ISO container at standard dock height, it is ideal for logistics operators, drayage runs, and businesses that need to move a loaded box from port to yard or between jobsites. With a 67,200 lb carrying capacity and a light 6,700 lb tare weight, it maximizes how much cargo you can legally haul.

Built for Intermodal Container Transport

A dedicated container chassis is the correct tool for moving marine boxes: the frame locks to the container’s corner castings so the box becomes the structural deck, keeping the overall profile low and the load secure. At an overall length of 23’6″ and a full 8′ width, this chassis matches the footprint of a 20ft container exactly, so nothing overhangs and weight distributes evenly across both axles.

Where It Fits

The 48″ frame height sits at standard dock level, which streamlines loading and unloading at warehouses and distribution centers. Running eight tires across two axles, the chassis spreads a fully loaded container’s weight for stable highway towing and predictable braking. It is a smart pick for container dealers, freight haulers, and owner-operators building out a container transport fleet.

When buying a chassis, verify that your container’s corner castings align with the chassis twist locks and that your tow tractor is rated for the combined loaded weight. Check tire tread, brake function, and the condition of the locking pins before putting it into service. This 20ft chassis is matched specifically to standard 20ft boxes, so sizing is straightforward.
