Trelling-type semi-trailer pulling containers is illegal modification

Recently in the owner forum, there are card friends to consult "skeleton car container violation is not illegal", below the answer can be said to be varied, some say illegal modification, some say to see the operating qualification certificate, and some say to see the model. So, can skeleton semi-trailers pull containers on the road? In fact, it is totally OK, because the skeleton semi-trailer is specifically designed to transport containers. According to Semi Trailer Manufacturer, the frame of a skeleton-type semi-trailer consists of longitudinal beams, beams, and front and rear end beams. The bottom of the trailer is exposed and hollow. It is similar to a semi-trailer in appearance, except that there is no bottom plate and jacket. According to the relevant regulations of GB1589-2016, the outer limit of skeleton semi-trailer is 13.95m in length, 2.55m in width and 4m in height. In terms of length, the skeleton car is 0.95m longer than the conventional three-axle semi-trailer, and 0.2m longer than the 13.75m of the low plate semi-trailer. This is to conform to the size of standard containers in the market. According to GB/T 1413-2008, the maximum size limit for a 45-foot container is 13.716m long, 2.438m wide and 2.896m high. However, the skeleton car is a special vehicle for container transport, but does not mean that the skeleton car transport container will be able to comply with the road. In other words, the skeleton type semi trailer to pull the container violation is not illegal, there are some preconditions, such as the transport of the container must be the standard type of container on the market, size to meet the regulations, can not be homemade box. Because of the special structure of the skeleton car, the frame and the upper container belong to two parts, some owners in order to load more, the container to do high, wide and long, and even directly with homemade super large container, resulting in the left and right sides of the box and rear beyond the scope of the frame, causing great risk factors to transportation. Like this situation, it is certainly not in accordance with the regulations, if the traffic control department to investigate and punish, fine deduction points is inevitable. In addition, the skeleton car in the annual review, only need to audit the frame, container is not in the scope of the annual review, which leads to the use of non-standard container owners can be in the vehicle registration, license, annual inspection, container unloading, only the frame to review, chassis annual review qualified, the follow-up can be unscrupulous violations of transportation. These super long, super wide and super high containers are either customized by container factories, or they are refitted by themselves later. It is worth noting that the skeleton car can only be used to transport containers, not privately converted into other models. After some owners start skeleton car, privately installed bottom plate and jacket, grid or fence plate, and so on, usually as grid car or fence car use, annual review and then remove the skeleton for review. In this way, it can avoid the installation cost of disc brake and empty suspension, but also more loading. This operation is also harmful, let alone the relevant departments will be found after the penalty, light from a safety point of view, this can be removed at any time and the original welding fixed on the frame of the top is no comparison, stability and strength is not advantageous, once in the case of full load problems, to themselves and other traffic participants are very great harm, In addition, it will crowd out the business space of the compliant transporters, which is not conducive to the sound development of freight and freight market. Such behavior of benefiting oneself at the expense of others should be supervised and resisted by the society.
