40XX-L-2SS
Lightweight Spread Axle Chassis
40XX-L-2SS DESCRIPTION
The PIC 40’ Lightweight Spread Axle Chassis (40XX-L-2SS) is a lightweight, spread axle gooseneck chassis engineered for the safe and efficient transport of loaded 40-foot containers. Its spread axle configuration helps distribute weight more evenly across axles, allowing for higher legal payloads. With a reduced tare weight, it maximizes cargo capacity and fuel efficiency — ideal for over-the-road operations where both weight limits and mileage performance are critical.
