These chassis can also be fitted with additional accessories including: lift kits to facilitate product discharge, hose tubes, and hi/lo kits to carry two empty tanks. They come in tandem axle, spread axle, tri-axle, and hi/lo combo configurations.

are commonly stored on chassis as a single mounted unit at rail yards and depots–such terminals are known as "wheeled" facilities. Secondly, steamship lines offer a service called ″carrier haulage″ or ″store door delivery″, whereby they arrange the drayage of a customer’s container. The steamship line hires a local trucking company and pays the pool for the chassis usage.

record is generated at the facility gate which identifies the trucking company and the chassis pool, and this allows the pool to invoice the appropriate trucking company for chassis usage. The system is influenced by the steamship lines and by the operation of container terminals. Firstly, containers

As a result, steamship lines formed contractual agreements with the pools which entail that when a container is on-terminal it must be on a pool specified by the steamship line. This means that at wheeled facilities, containers are mounted onto chassis selected by the steamship line before the

Unlike other countries where chassis are mostly owned or long-term leased by trucking companies, in the United States most chassis are currently owned by a few leasing companies (pools) which rent out the equipment to truckers. When a trucker leaves or enters a facility with a pool chassis, an

In the United States, container chassis shortages are a chronic problem, especially during peaks in container volume. There are several causes of chassis shortages, but a common problem is excessive off-terminal dwell time. Off-terminal dwell time is the length of time a shipper keeps a

truckers do not have a choice on chassis provisioning when rail operators have a mounted operational procedure. Containers are available as a mounted unit; shippers and truckers must take the unit as tendered or wait in line for a flip fee to move that container onto another

trucker arrives to pickup. Some disadvantages of this system are that it can restrict truckers' choice of which chassis to use and it can cause "chassis splits", which are when a container and its required chassis pool are in different locations.

In cases where Hapag-Lloyd is responsible for chassis usage, we will only accept usage from the above providers and pools. If these providers are not used, the trucker will be charged directly, regardless of the terms of chassis
