A skeleton semi-trailer is a trailer whose axle is placed behind the center of gravity of the vehicle (when the vehicle is evenly loaded) and is equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal and vertical forces to the tractor.

Semi-trailers are generally three-axle semi-trailers, and their types are divided into 11-meter warehouse semi-trailers, 13-meter warehouse semi-trailers, and low-flat semi-trailers. It is a heavy-duty transportation vehicle connected with the semi-trailer head through a tow pin.

Skeletal trailers, also called semiskel trailers, are lightweight semitrailers usually designed for transporting containers. They can be specified in a large number of size configurations, such as:
20-foot container
30-foot container
40-foot container
45-foot container
ISO intermodal container
They usually have 4 to 12 container twist locks so that the driver can load a variety of different configurations (for example, 2x 20 feet or 1x 40 feet).

It is possible to specify two, three and four axles for the half axles using single or double wheels and disc or drum brakes. The self-tracking rear axle will be installed on a four-wheel trailer (four axles) to reduce tire wear.
Skeleton tractor trailers are also available, front and rear axle sleeves and steering trolleys can be used for steering.

For professional applications, they can have sliding bogies that can help reduce weight, they can have hydraulic suspensions with adjustable ride height, and they can even be self-unloading or expandable.
Skeleton trailers can be used for timber transportation with appropriate timber bunks (side restraints), off-road suspension and hydraulic ground protection.

These trailers are versatile because the weight of medium-strength or light-duty high-strength steel is only 4000 kg, which means It can bear more load on fewer axles and tires without exceeding the static rollover threshold, thereby reducing fuel waste.
