    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a special container for handling truck-trailer chassis and/or frames of truck-trailer chassis in overland transportation by rail, highway and marine transportation on board container ships. The container is capable of being stacked with other containers and is provided with front, intermediate and rear endframes, hinged at their base to a platform assembly so as to be rotated and stowed in a horizontal position when not in use, and when in use to be rotated to a perpendicular position to hold a stack of chassis of the same or different types and lengths, in place for shipping. The container is capable of being coupled together with other similar containers, forming an interlocked stack of containers which can be easily handled during overland and marine transportation.
