Zonxin Supports KRONE Launches New Lightweight Box Liner Chassis Series

German trailer manufacturer KRONE has officially launched its new generation “Box Liner” series container chassis. The series adopts high-strength steel and a central tube frame structure, achieving both lightweight construction and high durability. For example, the TU40 model has an unladen weight of less than 4.5 tons.

Key highlights of the new Box Liner series include:

Multiple base versions (TU40, TU45, TU50, TU55, TU70, TU75) designed for 20′, 40′ and 45′ containers.

Modular configuration suitable for dry containers, tank containers and swap bodies.

Standard traction rear axle design to increase payload and optimise fifth-wheel load distribution.

Pneumatically protected rear extension and integrated rear lamp design for better durability and safety.

As a leading manufacturer of semi-trailer suspensions and axles, Shandong Zonxin Automotive Parts Co., Ltd. (Zonxin) recognises the importance of lightweight engineering in logistics efficiency, fuel savings and regulatory compliance. Zonxin will support the Box Liner program in the Chinese market through:

Lightweight suspension & axle solutions – Zonxin will supply optimised lightweight components to reduce overall weight while increasing payload capability.

Local engineering adaptation for China – Based on China’s legal axle-load limits, logistics scenarios and road environments, Zonxin will assist in chassis optimisation for local operation.

After-sales and parts support in China – Zonxin provides a full service and spare-parts network to ensure long-term operation reliability of lightweight chassis users.

By combining KRONE’s new global Box Liner platform with Zonxin’s lightweight suspension and axle expertise, this cooperation will deliver a new generation of high-strength, lightweight and flexible container chassis solutions to the Chinese logistics industry. Zonxin looks forward to working with KRONE to enhance transport efficiency, reduce operational cost and support the transition to greener logistics in China.
