Secure Global Delivery Solutions

ZW Group understands the logistics of international shipping and provides optimized packaging and delivery methods to ensure your container chassis trailer arrives in perfect condition.

  1. Nude/Bulk Shipment: Trailers are typically transported by Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel or in Bulk Cargo Shipments to minimize shipping costs and preparation time.

  2. Stackable Packaging: For multiple units, trailers can be professionally stacked (three units into a stack) to maximize space utilization in shipping, further reducing freight costs.

  3. Anti-Corrosion Protection: Before loading, all critical components are sprayed with anti-rust wax and the entire unit is covered with a waterproof raincoat/tarp to protect against seawater corrosion and weather during long sea voyages.
