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.
