The PORT 2 YARD Shipping Container Trailer
The Port 2 Yard Shipping Container Trailer is designed as a lightweight, efficient, trailer. Weighing in at under 6,000lbs with a GVWR of 21,000lbs, this lightweight trailer is designed to carry 1 – 40′ Shipping Container, 1 – 45′ Shipping Container (with 5′ add-on extension), 1 – 20′ Shipping Container, or 2 – 20′ Shipping Containers.
The Port 2 Yard Shipping Container Trailer has a perfectly balanced Tri-Axle design that keeps tongue weight within the requirements of most truck manufacturers’ recommendations while keeping your load secure and balanced behind you. It boasts a total of 8 twist locks with 6 of them being retractable eliminating the need to strap down your load, getting you in and out of Depots and Ports quickly.
Unique Usability:
No straps to unlatch and stow, no need to shim the container for unload.
When you get to your Yard the Port 2 Yard‘s load design allows you to pick Shipping Containers off with a standard forklift.
A Green Convertible Solution:
Not only can you use the Port 2 Yard to move shipping containers, you can also use our 20′ Flat Decks that are manufactured by re-purposing shipping container bottoms. Our unique re-purposing method allows you to convert the Port 2 Yard to a 20′ or a 41′ flat deck trailer. This convertible solution eliminates the need to purchase multiple trailer types with a low cost entry point.
Overall Solution and history:
