Product Overview

The three axle flatbed semi trailer is one of the most versatile and widely used equipment types in global freight transport. Its open-deck design allows for flexible loading and unloading from the sides and rear, making it ideal for cargo that cannot be contained within enclosed trailers.

With three axles, these trailers offer superior weight distribution and stability compared to two-axle configurations, enabling safe transport of heavy and oversized loads over long distances. The tri-axle design also provides enhanced roadworthiness and braking performance, particularly when carrying maximum payloads.

Our 3 axle flatbed semi trailers are available in standard 40ft (12.4m) and 45ft (13.6m) lengths, with optional telescopic designs extending up to 21 meters for extra-long cargo. Payload capacities range from 30 to 60 tons, making them suitable for a wide spectrum of heavy transport applications.

Whether you need a flatbed for container hauling, steel coil transport, timber logistics, or construction material shipping, our tri-axle flatbeds are built to deliver.

Key Features & Benefits

Superior Load Capacity & Stability

With three axles distributing weight evenly across the trailer, our 3 axle flatbed semi trailers deliver exceptional stability and load-bearing capacity. The tri-axle configuration enables payloads of up to 60 tons, making these trailers ideal for heavy machinery, steel coils, containers, and construction materials.

High-Strength Steel Construction

Our flatbeds are built with high-tensile Q345B carbon steel main beams, welded using automatic submerged-arc processes for superior strength and durability. The I-beam design, with optimized plate thickness (upper: 14-25mm, middle: 8-12mm, lower: 16-25mm), ensures maximum structural integrity under heavy loads.

Premium Component Brands

We equip our three axle flatbed trailers with world-class components:

  • JOST kingpin and landing gear
  • BPW or FUWA axles
  • WABCO brake system valves
  • Premium tires in sizes 11.00R20, 11R22.5, or 12R22.5

These trusted brands ensure reliability, easy parts availability, and lower total cost of ownership.

Versatile Cargo Handling

The open-deck design of our flatbed semi trailers allows for loading and unloading from both sides and the rear. With 12 container twist locks as standard, the trailer can securely carry 1x20ft, 2x20ft, or 1x40ft containers. Optional features include removable stanchions, side rails, and front headboards for specific cargo types.

Corrosion Protection & Durability

Every trailer undergoes SA2.5 standard sandblasting, followed by two coats of anti-corrosion primer and a finish painting coat. This comprehensive surface treatment ensures long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion, even in humid or coastal environments.
