Skel Trailers - Increase your fleet utilisation and flexibility

Freight requirements change often, but your trailer doesn't have to. With a comprehensive range of container equipment types, SCF's Skel + Container combination provides a cost effective solution to quickly add fleet capacity and flexibility.


Increase your flexibility with a skel and container

The skel and container combination introduces a new world of flexibility. With the ability to quickly interchange the type of container on a skel, you can use the equipment you need, when you need it.

What are the benefits of a skel and container combination?

Match your container to your freight

SCF has been building containers for over 25 years. These are designed to store or transport specific freight, from pallets, temperature controlled foods and liquids, furniture and much more. 

Standard trailers are usually suited to a specific freight group. With the ability to quickly swap your container on a skel, you can hire a container to match your freight.

Short and long-term lease available

Different requirements need different supply options. Our range of containers can be supplied on short and long-term arrangements.

A hire option is an effective way to manage your cashflow, save capital and align your rental costs to the task at hand.

Hire it all from one supplier

SCF takes the complexity out of your equipment supply. One national supplier, one set of paperwork, one provider to support your needs.

From road to rail

Containers are not just limited to road usage. The skel and container combination is your key to unlocking the possibilities of rail. Australia’s vast rail network allows you to service greater distances, reducing costs and complexity, while unlocking new opportunities.
