40’ LIGHTWEIGHT SPREAD AXLE CHASSIS

The 40’ Lightweight Spread Axle Chassis is a lightweight, spread axle gooseneck chassis engineered for the safe and efficient transport of loaded 40-foot containers. Its spread axle configuration helps distribute weight more evenly across axles, allowing for higher legal payloads. With a reduced tare weight, it maximizes cargo capacity and fuel efficiency — ideal for over-the-road operations where both weight limits and mileage performance are critical.
