This is a fixed structure commonly used in the transportation of containers. It is mainly of a steel construction where containers are loaded and offloaded using overhead cranes.

It is simple to use and most importantly, affordable. However, the need for external accessories could possibly delay the operations.
Load Positioning Chassis
Trailer has a long chassis that is supported to one end through a movable bogie unit or a slider with an attached sliding bolster unit
It comes with retractable roller mechanisms on the said bogie unit and the bolster unit urged against the trailer chassis. This allows easy placement of a unit at a suitable position along the trailer chassis
It also comes with a releasable coupling in between bolster and the slider to allow the bolster to travel along the chassis through the slider
Protocols are defined for moving a container from a first position centered along the chassis and a second position flush with the back of the chassis.
In a recommended embodiment, the front chassis portion is lifted with respect to the back portion. This way, the bolster slides along a surface that is lower than the front region.
As the bolster goes to its back most position, the chassis can have room for a larger container.
