For intermodal operators, Freight Wing is now offering chassis side skirts for 46-ft. trailers, and for most other chassis in various lengths. The new skirts are designed to clamp onto chassis I-beams below where the intermodal box is situated to keep the two-piece side skirts intact and free from damage during loading. The skirts are also flexible and are hinged via fiberglass rods, allowing them to bend and flex when bottoming out at loading docks.
Two side skirt construction options are available for intermodal chassis, including Freight Wing’s original Dense Matrix Polyethylene (DMP) plastic construction version and a composite material that has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, allowing the skirts to hold their flat panel shape.
