Swap bodies<br />

container<br />

A swap body is a type of freight<br />

container used for road and rail<br />

transport. The size of these containers is<br />

standardized and they cannot be<br />

stacked. Folding legs under their frame<br />

is a typical characteristic of swap bodies.<br />

Due to the design of this type of<br />

container, fuel costs are lower; swap<br />

bodies minimise empty weight, so there<br />

is less ‘dead weight’ carried. This results<br />

in lower fuel consumption, and<br />

therefore cheaper transportation of<br />

goods.
