Description
Moving heavy bulk cargo is not only about payload. The trailer also needs to make loading, transport and unloading practical for your working conditions.
This 2-Axle Side tipping dropside trailer is designed around a 40,000 kg payload and a 40ft-class trailer body, giving fleet operators a practical solution for transporting bulk and loose cargo. The trailer uses two 13-ton axles, spring suspension with eight leaf springs, ABS and a dual-line air brake system.
The side-tipping configuration adds another advantage when unloading from the rear is inconvenient or when the working area requires a different discharge direction.

Features
2 Axle Dropside Tipping Trailer Built Around Your Payload
The trailer is configured with 2 axles rated at 13 tons each and a stated payload of approximately 40,000 kg. This configuration gives buyers a clear starting point when matching the trailer to their tractor, cargo weight and local road requirements.
Instead of choosing a trailer based only on a generic “heavy-duty” label, buyers can evaluate the actual axle rating, payload and suspension configuration before placing an order.
40FT Side Tipping Trailer with 700mm Side Walls
The trailer has an approximate overall dimension of 12,500 × 2,500 × 2,200 mm, with a 700 mm side wall height.
The dropside body provides a practical balance between cargo containment and loading access. For bulk cargo operations, the side structure helps keep material within the load area while maintaining access for loading equipment.
The side-tipping configuration is particularly useful when the unloading area does not provide enough rear clearance for conventional rear dumping.
Hydraulic Side Tipping for More Flexible Unloading
A major reason to choose a side tipping dropside trailer is unloading flexibility.
The trailer is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder for the tipping system.
Side tipping can be useful for construction sites, material yards and other locations where unloading directly behind the trailer is difficult. Instead of making the entire operation depend on rear clearance, the side discharge layout gives operators another unloading option.
This can help reduce unnecessary repositioning during material handling and make the trailer more adaptable to different job-site layouts.
Leaf Spring Suspension for Heavy Cargo Transport
The trailer uses spring suspension with eight pieces of leaf springs.
For buyers working with heavy cargo, suspension selection is an important part of the total trailer configuration. The leaf spring system provides a straightforward mechanical suspension arrangement that is familiar to many operators and maintenance teams.
The suspension specification should also be matched with the expected road conditions, cargo distribution and local regulations before final production.
40-Ton Dropside Trailer with ABS Air Braking
Safety-related components are essential when operating a high-payload semi-trailer.
This model is equipped with ABS and a dual-line air brake system.
The dual-line air brake configuration provides a practical braking setup for heavy-duty road transportation, while ABS is included as part of the braking system specification.
For export orders, the braking configuration can be reviewed against the customer’s tractor, road regulations and market requirements before production.
12R22.5 Tires for Long-Distance Trailer Operations
The standard specification includes 12R22.5 tires with nine units, matched with 9.00 × 22.5 rims.
Using a clearly defined tire and rim specification makes it easier for buyers to evaluate replacement availability and operating compatibility in their local market.
For overseas projects, tire specifications should be confirmed according to local road conditions and customer requirements before shipment.
Practical Landing Gear and Kingpin Configuration
The trailer uses two-speed manual 19-inch landing legs and a bolt-in 3.5-inch or 2-inch kingpin configuration.
The bolt-in kingpin arrangement makes the connection specification clear during the purchasing stage, while the two-speed landing legs provide a straightforward manual setup for trailer coupling and parking operations.
Buyers can confirm the required kingpin size according to their tractor and fleet configuration before production.

Why Choose a 2-Axle Side Tipping Dropside Trailer?
The key advantage of this configuration is not simply its size. It combines a 40-ton payload, two 13-ton axles and side-tipping functionality into one trailer configuration.
For fleet operators, this means the purchasing decision can be based on measurable specifications rather than vague claims about trailer quality.
The 40ft-class body provides a substantial cargo platform, while the 700mm side walls provide a defined load containment structure. The hydraulic side-tipping system then adds unloading flexibility for locations where rear discharge may be difficult.
