A batch of 50 units 3-axle skeleton trailers manufactured by TrailersChina has successfully arrived at the ​Port of Mombasa​, marking a new milestone in supporting ​East Africa’s fast-growing container transport sector​. The trailers will be delivered to a major logistics fleet operating in ​Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania​, helping improve regional cargo efficiency across the Northern and Central Corridors.

Efficient Delivery to One of East Africa’s Key Logistics Hubs

The shipment departed from Qingdao Port earlier this month and arrived at the Port of Mombasa as scheduled. Mombasa is one of Africa’s busiest and most important seaports, serving as a gateway for international trade and inland container distribution.

Upon arrival, all 50 units of skeleton trailers completed unloading and port inspection smoothly. The customer expressed satisfaction with the trailer quality and delivery speed.

Why the Customer Chose TrailersChina Skeleton Trailers

The customer, a large East African logistics operator, selected TrailersChina after comparing multiple suppliers in China and other markets. The key advantages included:

1. High-Strength Steel Structure

Designed for heavy-duty container transport, the trailers use ​Q345 high-strength steel​, providing excellent durability on East African road conditions.

2. Suitable for 20FT / 40FT Containers

The trailers feature a ​universal container locking system​, compatible with all standard containers, making them suitable for port, terminal, and long-distance transportation.

3. Reinforced Chassis for Rough Road Conditions

Considering the mixed road quality in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, the trailers were upgraded with:

· reinforced main beams

· stronger cross-members

· heavy-duty suspension and axles
These improvements enhance stability and extend trailer lifespan.

4. Fast Production and Reliable Lead Time

The factory completed production of all 50 units within ​35 days​, ensuring on-time shipment.

Supporting East Africa’s Growing Logistics Industry

With the rapid growth of East African trade, demand for efficient container transportation has increased significantly. Skeleton trailers are now one of the most widely used trailer types in the region due to their:

· lightweight design

· fast loading/unloading

· lower fuel consumption

· suitability for long-distance transport

This delivery will help the customer expand their container fleet, reduce operating costs, and improve logistics capacity across regional routes connecting Mombasa → Nairobi → Kampala and ​Mombasa → Arusha → Dar es Salaam​.
