Extendable & combo chassis / BW8F412899
About this product.
One frame across several container lengths. The recorded specification includes registration date: 01-01-2026; colour: Black; gross vehicle weight (gvw): 38500 kg; amount of axles: 3; twistlocks: Yes.
An extendable chassis trades tare weight for flexibility. Confirm the closed and extended lengths, the pin positions in between and how the slide is locked. Where a fleet runs a single container length, a fixed frame is lighter and simpler; a mixed fleet is where the extra steel earns its place.
Use the technical information below to compare this selection with the alternatives in the extendable & combo chassis collection. The listed condition is new. Include the intended use, the delivery address and any layout or service requirements when discussing this unit with Northern. A clear brief helps separate what is supplied from the site works and connections handled locally.

Extension range & pin positions
Confirm the closed and extended lengths and the pin positions between them, then check them against every container length you intend to carry.
Slider operation
Ask how the slide is released and locked, whether it is done by one person, and what condition the slide rails and locking pins are in.
Weight & axle loading
An extendable frame carries more steel. Confirm the tare weight and axle group ratings so the loaded combination stays legal on your routes.
