The Port 2 Yard
The Port 2 Yard Gooseneck Shipping Container Trailer is designed as a lightweight, efficient, trailer. Weighing in at under 6,000lbs with a GVWR of 14,000lbs, this lightweight Shipping Container 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 is a perfectly balanced Dual Axle design (Pictured with Depreciated 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, no need to lift the container and chock it up with a 4×4!
A Convertible Solution:
Not only can you use the Port 2 Yard to move shipping containers, you can also use our 20′ Flat Deck(s) attachments. Our 20′ Flat Deck attachments allow you to convert the Port 2 Yard to a 20′ or a 40′ flat deck trailer. This convertible solution eliminates the need to purchase multiple trailer types with a low cost entry point.
Overall Solution and history:
The Port 2 Yard has been carefully and meticulously designed with the operator in mind while keeping the utmost in “on the road safety“ and meeting all DOT regulations. Road tested in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee allowed us to bring in containers from the ports and give good study on the handling of the trailer. The trailer was tested in mountains, over numerous ravines with high cross winds and much more.
This solution will get you in and out of any port and depot in the most efficient manner, getting you back out on the road as quickly as possible, helping maximize your profits by keeping your load weights to a minimum and minimizing load times (it takes an average of 30 minutes per container to strap and secure). The combined total weight of the Port 2 Yard with a 40′ High Cube Shipping Container is right around 11,000lbs with a single 20′ Standard Shipping Container, and right around 16,300lbs with 2, 20′ Standard Shipping Containers. These combinations are about the weight of a good, empty, 40′ flatbed trailer!
