Product Overview
The “King of Africa” | T700 High-Strength Steel | Multi-Purpose Cargo Transport
One Trailer. Two Uses. Maximum Profit.
Applications: Bulk Cargo (Cement/Grain) & ISO Containers (20ft/40ft)
What is a Side Wall Semi Trailer? A 3-axle side wall semi trailer (also known as a drop side trailer) is a heavy-duty, multi-purpose transport vehicle designed with a 60-ton payload capacity and removable side panels. Manufactured with T700 high-strength steel, it is engineered specifically for African road conditions to transport bulk cargo, bagged cement, and ISO containers safely.
*Heavy Duty 60 Ton Side Wall Trailer β Customizable Height & Length*
π Why is this the Best-Selling 3-Axle Trailer in Africa?
Kales understands that road conditions in Africa can be extremely tough. That’s why we don’t just build trailers; we build heavy-duty tanks. Our 3-Axle Side Wall Semi Trailer combines massive load capacity with incredible versatility, making it the top choice for logistics companies moving cement, grain, steel, and containers.
π T700 High-Strength Steel
We refuse to use common Q345 steel. Our main beams are manufactured using T700 High-Strength Steel, which offers superior yield strength and resistance to bending, ensuring the chassis lasts for decades under 60-ton loads.
π 2-in-1 Versatility
Equipped with 12 Container Twist Locks and removable side walls. Use it as a cargo trailer for bulk goods, or completely remove the drop sides to function as a flatbed trailer for 20ft/40ft shipping containers.
π Reinforced for Overloading
The mechanical suspension is heavily thickened, and the bottom platform is reinforced with 3mm checkered steel. Even on rough off-road terrain, the chassis remains stable without deformation.

ποΈ Applications: One Trailer, Many Jobs
Maximize your return on investment with a trailer that adapts to your daily cargo requirements.
- β Bulk Cargo Transport: The drop-side structure is ideally suited for transporting bagged cement, agricultural grain, animal feed, and steel coils securely.
- β Container Logistics: To transport ISO containers, simply remove the side panels and utilize the 12 integrated twist locks to carry one 40ft container or two 20ft containers safely.

β Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What customization options do you offer for the side wall trailer?
A: Kales Vehicle offers full structural customization to suit your local transport needs.
- Side Wall Height: The standard height is 600mm/800mm, but we can customize it up to 1000mm or add upper fence extensions for bulkier cargo.
- Axles & Tires: You can select premium brands like FUWA, BPW, or SAF. Tires can be tubeless or radial, such as Triangle brand.
- Color & Logo: We provide free polyurethane painting customization and logo printing to match your corporate fleet branding.
Q: How do you ship the trailers to save on freight costs?
A: We offer two highly cost-effective shipping methods to reduce ocean freight fees:
1. Stacking Method (Bulk Ship): We bolt and stack 3 trailers together as a single bundle, which drastically reduces the shipping volume and freight fees to African ports.
2. Container Shipment: For specific models, we can design the rear chassis part to be bolted so that the entire trailer fits inside a 40ft HQ container, offering the lowest possible shipping rate.

Q: Why is T700 steel better than standard Q345 steel?
A: T700 high-strength steel is vastly superior to standard Q345 because it offers a significantly higher yield strength. This allows the side wall trailer to carry extreme heavy loads (up to 60 Tons) without the main beam bending or fracturing, making the chassis far more durable for long-term use on rough roads.
Q: What is the production delivery time for this trailer?
A: The standard production time for our side wall trailers is between 10 to 15 working days. For fully customized fleet orders, the manufacturing process usually takes about 20 days, ensuring fast delivery for your logistics projects.
Q: What are your accepted payment terms?
A: Our standard payment term is T/T (30% deposit to start production, and the 70% balance paid after production is finished and video/photos are verified). We also accept L/C (Letter of Credit) for large volume orders.
