Container trailers in the Philippines: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

A new 40 ft container chassis trailer in the Philippines costs roughly ₱427,000 to ₱637,000, while side-lifter and side-loader models run from about ₱2,868,000 to ₱4,894,000. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, November 2026. For a quote on your exact size and axle count, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules to check on the trailer

A Philippine Ports Authority administrative order says that chassis and trailers used to carry containers must have listed safety features, so ask the seller to show that the unit meets them before you pay. Cargo weight limits apply to trucks and trailers in the Philippines too, so ask for the payload in tonnes on the written offer, not only the container size. Check that the chassis number on the trailer matches the papers.

Climate and timing

The climate is tropical, so there is no winter and no summer peak to wait for. Demand follows the work on the ground rather than the season. The weather mainly affects delivery: a heavy trailer on a soft, wet yard is harder to unload, so plan the delivery day for a dry spell. November is still close to the end of the wet season in many areas, so confirm the yard and the access road before the truck is booked.

Delivery and how it is quoted

Prices are in pesos, and containers are sized in feet, so state "40 ft" and the axle count, and give the payload in kilograms or tonnes. One supplier's listing offers nationwide delivery across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao and a one-year warranty, so ask whether freight to Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu City or Davao City is included in the price. A used unit can cost far less, but it needs a physical inspection before you pay.

What to write in your request

Name the container size, the trailer type, the number of axles, the make and year if you have a preference, the payload, the documents you need, and whether you accept used or only new. Add your city, your delivery address and your budget. The more exact the request, the more comparable the offers will be.

Describe the trailer in your own words in the BlaBlaPrice chat and add a photo if you have one. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the Philippines, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them.
