ABSTRACT:
A semi-trailer chassis packing system capable of packing four stacked semi-trailer chassis in a secure bundle having dimensions of a standard forty foot intermodal shipping container. The chassis packing system includes a first frame assembly, a second frame assembly, and one or more spacers. The first frame assembly includes a pair of elongate first bolster receiving members, a first primary connecting member, and a first secondary connecting member. First bolster receiving members are joined by first detachable pivoting joints to opposite ends of the first primary connecting member. First bolster receiving members pivot to perpendicular orientation with respect to the first primary connecting member, receiving rear bolsters of two stacked trailers into cavities provided in the first bolster receiving members. Second bolster receiving members are joined by second detachable pivoting joints to opposite ends of the second primary connecting member. Second bolster receiving members pivot to perpendicular orientation with respect to the second primary connecting member, receiving rear bolsters of the other two stacked trailers into cavities provided in the second bolster receiving members. First and second secondary connecting members are attached to first and second bolster receiving members, respectively, opposite the first and second primary connecting members, to form a square frame, at each end of the stack of trailers. Each square frame corner is provided with a conventional corner casting such that the packed bundle is suitable for handing as a standard intermodal container.
