Swap Trailers
Swap trailers, also known as swap bodies, are standardized, interchangeable freight containers commonly used in Europe for road and rail transportation. They are designed specifically for these modes of transport, featuring reinforced frames, legs, and locking systems to facilitate efficient loading, unloading, and transfer between different transportation methods. Unlike shipping containers, they are not suitable for stacking due to their structural design.

The loaded swap body is quickly transferred from the truck to a train at an intermodal terminal, then back onto a truck at the destination terminal, providing a seamless and efficient transport solution that reduces cargo handling and transit times.
