Swap Chassis – Flexibility and Variety for Your Fleet

Use the special trailers and bodies for trucks to accommodate containers and benefit from the flexibility that swap boxes and swap trailers offer you, so that each of your vehicles can be used in a versatile way. As a partner with a long tradition in the industry, Lippstädter Anhänger is happy to provide you with comprehensive advice so that you can obtain the right swap chassis trailer at an affordable price – brand new or used with an attractive price advantage, or optionally for rent.

What distinguishes a swap chassis?

Companies in the logistics industry regularly face new challenges in transporting goods of all kinds. The fleet should therefore meet these changing demands by being particularly versatile. With a swap chassis trailer for trucks, you gain maximum flexibility and can use the body for a wide range of orders and projects.

Unlike the classic semi-trailer tractor, swap chassis have an additional frame and a special undercarriage. This allows various bodies and containers to be accommodated and moved, considerably expanding the range of uses of your fleet. A trained driver will be able to carry out the body swap within 30 to 45 minutes.

Where are swap chassis trailers used?

The possibilities for using modern swap chassis are diverse – from tandem trailers for extensive transport projects, through classic trailers or semi-trailers, to tipping vehicles. From high-value goods to bulk materials, countless types of cargo can be accommodated and moved with a swap chassis, making the main areas of use:

• Logistics & transport sector
• Construction sector
• Industry
• Combined road/rail transport

Acquiring these specialist trucks is therefore worthwhile for all companies facing changing requirements in the transport of goods. Since otherwise separate heavy goods vehicles would need to be available for each purpose, a swap chassis trailer reduces your acquisition and operating costs.

Knowing the requirements for swap chassis trailers

Despite all the variety and flexibility, you should be aware of the basic requirements for a swap chassis truck that arise from your operational situation and typical tasks. As a specialist company, we are happy to help you select the ideal truck and take a joint look at these relevant questions:

• What range of goods do you wish to transport with your swap chassis in future?
• What is the maximum total weight of your transports?
• Do you value renowned brand quality in your model, e.g. from Krone, Kögel or Schmitz Cargobull?
• What accessories (swap boxes, swap trailers, tipping vehicles, etc.) do you need?
• What performance values and technical specifications do you require?

Bear in mind that a swap chassis can be used not only for pure transport, but also for storage or as an equipment carrier at construction sites and other deployment locations. We are happy to discuss this as an experienced dealer and service provider, so that your choice – from a compact truck to a swap chassis as a tandem trailer – fits you exactly.
