A container transporter is a heavy-lift vehicle with a universal flatbed. The main purpose of such trucks is to transport containers of various types on public roads.

Traditionally, the term “container carrier” is used for sea cargo transport. And a container transporter is a connecting link between harbor container stations and the destination points of the cargo.

The payload of container transporters varies from 18,000 kg to 35,000 kg. The chassis usually has from two to four axles. And the most common models have the 6x2axle configuration.

In cases when the usage of container technologies is not possible due to the cargo characteristics or special transportation conditions, swap bodies are used instead of containers.Swap bodies can be produced in different versions: tilt, isothermal, refrigerated, etc. To make container transportersmore convenient in service, some models of bodies are equipped with loading ramps and damping hydraulic systems.
