BDF trailer – what is it?
A BDF trailer is nothing more than a swap-body system. It is a part of a truck that can be swapped as needed. It is used in transportation. They are manufactured in accordance with all required standards. The freedom to connect and disconnect makes them incredibly functional. No special technical assistance is needed to replace them. Most often they are used in so-called combined transport. This is transport, part of which is carried out by rail and part by road. In Germany, Belgium, Austria or Luxembourg and the Netherlands this solution is used on a large scale.
