Abstract:
An intermodal chassis for highway transportation of shipping containers, the chassis having a forward axle and a rear axle, and incorporating an air bag suspension that automatically deflate the air bags when the brakes are locked, preventing damage when loading a container onto the chassis. Large 53 foot long box/high cube type shipping containers may be loaded along their entire length with the chassis having a rear axle positioned under the chassis frame so that the kingpin-to-rear-axle length is no more than 40 feet, and a forward axle positioned under the frame between the gooseneck and the rear axle so that a forward-to-rear-axle length is at least 12 feet. Other features include self-scaling and load-leveling, and other weight savings include use of smaller sized aluminum wheels.

Claim (Index 1):
An intermodal chassis for carrying a shipping container for over-the-highway transport, the chassis comprising:\n a front bolster and a rear bolster, with a frame structure extending longitudinally therebetween and sized to carry said shipping container; a gooseneck portion of said frame structure extending longitudinally rearward from said front bolster and having a top surface sized to fit within a tunnel depression of said shipping container; a kingpin mounted on a bottom surface of said gooseneck portion rearward of a rear face of said front bolster; a main portion of said frame structure extending longitudinally rearward from said gooseneck portion and interconnecting with said rear bolster; a rear axle positioned longitudinally under said main portion of said frame structure; a forward axle positioned longitudinally under said main portion of said frame structure between said gooseneck portion and said rear axle; and air bag suspension for said forward and rear axles, with the air bags for each axle adapted to automatically deflate when a chassis brake system is locked, thereby protecting said air bags from damage when loading said container onto said chassis.
