60 ton three-axle flatbed semi trailer with an open deck, mechanical suspension and under-deck service equipment.
60 TON · 3 AXLE FLATBED SEMI TRAILER
60 Ton 3 Axle Flatbed Semi Trailer
Carry shipping containers or use the full open deck for steel, pipe, machinery, construction materials and other general cargo. Container locks secure container loads, while the unobstructed platform keeps non-container cargo accessible from the sides and above.
The trailer has a 12,500 mm overall length and a 2,490 mm platform width. Its three-axle mechanical suspension supports heavy transport work, and the open deck allows loading by crane or forklift to suit the cargo.
Permitted road payload depends on cargo distribution, tractor setup and the axle-load limits in the destination market.
CARGO USE
What Can This 60 Ton Flatbed Carry?
The same open platform works for container transport and general cargo. What changes from one job to the next is how the load is positioned, supported and secured.
Tell us what the trailer will carry
- Cargo type Container, steel, pipe, machinery or mixed loads
- Size and weight Overall dimensions, total weight and support points
- Loading method Crane, forklift or another site arrangement
- Operating details Tractor model, destination and expected route conditions
A 60-ton load still needs the correct position on the deck. Cargo placement changes how much weight is carried by the tractor and the three-axle group.

This configuration is 12,500 mm long and 2,500 mm wide at its outer edges. The usable platform is 2,490 mm wide. The two gaps between adjacent axles are 1,310 mm each.

ORDER CHECK
Four details to confirm before production
Cargo footprint
Length, width, height, overhang and the points that bear on the deck.
Tractor connection
Tractor model and fifth-wheel height for the correct coupling setup.
Container work
Container type, size and the lock positions used in daily operation.
Destination limits
Local axle-load, vehicle-size and route requirements for the order.
These dimensions belong to this 60-ton configuration. Final dimensions and container-lock positions are confirmed with the cargo and tractor details before production.
CHASSIS & EQUIPMENT
How Is This 60 Ton Flatbed Equipped?
The running gear and service equipment sit below the platform, leaving the deck clear for containers and general cargo. Component brands, ratings and quantities are listed separately in the quotation.
01
Mechanical Suspension
Leaf springs and equalizer hardware link the three axles. Axle and suspension ratings are selected for the required load and route.
02
Three-Axle Wheel Group
The axles are spaced at 1,310 + 1,310 mm. Tyre size, wheel quantity and preferred component makes should be confirmed with the order.
03
Toolbox and Side Guard
The toolbox keeps service items below the deck. The side guard runs between the landing legs and axle group without using platform space.
04
Rear Road Equipment
The rear assembly combines lamps, reflectors, mudguards and an underride structure. The final setup is specified for the destination.
- Spare-wheel carrier
- Fire-extinguisher cabinet
- Landing legs
- Side protection
Tell us which axle, tyre and suspension brands your workshop already services. We can list compatible choices in the quotation for you to review.
LOAD PLANNING
What Load Information Is Needed Before Production?
Total weight is only the first number. A machine on a short base and a long steel bundle can weigh the same, but they press on different parts of the deck.
Cargo size
Give the overall length, width and height. Mark any overhang or section that cannot bear against another part of the load.
Weight and centre of gravity
State the total transport weight and the centre of gravity. For several pieces, list the weight of each item.
Support points
Mark every base, timber block or contact point that carries weight. Include the distance between supports.
Loading and restraint
Explain how the cargo will be lifted and unloaded. Add the planned dunnage, chains, straps or other restraint points.
A marked cargo sketch, the tractor model, destination and quantity give us enough information to prepare a useful first proposal.
ORDER CONFIGURATION
Which Details Should Be Confirmed on the Order?
A 60-ton rating and three axles do not complete the specification. The trailer still needs to match the cargo, tractor, local service network and destination requirements.
Cargo and Deck
Start with the load, then set up the platform around it.
- Cargo support spacing and point loads
- Container type and lock positions
- Dunnage and tie-down locations
Tractor Connection
The front of the trailer must work with the assigned tractor.
- Kingpin position
- Fifth-wheel and coupling height
- Air and electrical connections
Running Gear
Choose parts that can carry the load and be serviced locally.
- Axle and suspension ratings
- Tyre size and wheel quantity
- Preferred component brands
Road Equipment
Connections and road equipment vary between destinations.
- Braking and electrical specification
- Lamps and reflective markings
- Rear and side protective equipment
- Payload, tare weight and gross vehicle weight
- Main dimensions and axle spacing
- Component brand, rating and quantity
- Included equipment and requested changes
- Destination-specific connections and road equipment
Send the cargo details, tractor model, destination and preferred component brands. We will list the proposed specification item by item for review.

KEY DIMENSIONS
Will These Dimensions Work with Your Cargo and Tractor?
The trailer is 12,500 mm long and 2,500 mm wide at its outer edges. Check the cargo footprint, support points, fifth-wheel height and route limits before confirming the order.
Cargo Fit
Compare the cargo length, width, overhang and support spacing with the platform.
Tractor Interface
Confirm the fifth-wheel height, kingpin position and required load transfer.
Route Limits
Check local vehicle width, axle-load limits and any route-specific restrictions.
If the cargo needs a different platform length, lock position or support layout, send the marked cargo dimensions with the enquiry.

Questions Buyers Ask Before Ordering
Confirm the cargo, tractor and route together. These answers cover the current 60-ton, three-axle configuration and the details needed for an accurate quotation.
Does 60 tons refer to payload or total vehicle weight?
On this page, 60 tons is the rated payload for this trailer configuration. It is not the trailer tare weight or the gross combination weight. The quotation should list payload, tare weight and gross vehicle weight separately. The permitted on-road load still depends on the tractor, cargo position and local axle-load limits.
Can it carry both containers and general cargo?
Yes. Container locks hold shipping containers, while the open platform can carry steel, pipe, machinery, construction materials and packaged cargo. Send the container size or the cargo dimensions, weight and support points so the deck arrangement can be checked.
Does every three-axle flatbed carry 60 tons?
No. Axle count alone does not determine payload. The frame, deck supports, axles, suspension, tyres, brakes, kingpin load, tractor and route all have to match the job. Ask for the full configuration instead of comparing trailers by axle count only.
Are the 12,500 mm length and 2,500 mm width fixed?
They are the overall dimensions of this configuration. The platform width is 2,490 mm and the overall width is 2,500 mm including the outer edging. If your cargo needs a different deck length, lock position or support layout, provide those details before quotation so feasibility can be checked.
What suspension does this trailer use?
This configuration uses mechanical leaf-spring suspension. The quotation should also identify the axle, tyre and brake specifications so you can review the complete running gear.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Send the cargo or container type, dimensions, total weight, centre of gravity or support points, loading method, tractor model, fifth-wheel height, destination, quantity and any preferred component brands. A marked cargo sketch is useful when the load is irregular.
