Kögel PORT – container chassis from the Burtenbach manufacturer: Simplex, Duplex and Triplex versions for 20, 40 and 45-foot containers, up to 41 t gross weight
Kögel Trailer has built semi-trailers and chassis for the transport and freight-forwarding industry in Burtenbach, Bavaria, for decades and is one of Europe's largest commercial vehicle makers. The PORT range covers container chassis in the register; the suffixes Simplex, Duplex and Triplex on models such as PORT 40 SIMPLEX, PORT 45 DUPLEX and PORT 45 TRIPLEX denote the number of frame extensions – Simplex with a rear extension, Duplex with front and rear extensions, Triplex additionally with a centre extension – which allow 20, 40 and 45-foot containers and their combinations to be carried.

The register lists 5 versions with unladen weights from 4,650 to 6,220 kg, a gross weight of 41,000 kg, lengths from 9,520 to 11,540 mm and widths from 2,470 to 2,550 mm.
Container chassis of this kind link sea and land transport in combined traffic between ports, terminals and consignees; their low unladen weight combined with comparatively high payload is decisive, since the payload results directly from the difference against the container weight.
When buying used, check the twistlocks and their locking mechanism, the function of the frame extension and its locking, the frame and side members for corrosion, and the axles, brakes and tyres; since container chassis often run multiple shifts in port handling, it is worth checking operating hours and maintenance records.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
