A container chassis bundling system uses permanently affixed clamps 14, 14a, 40, 42, 42a, or 42b, for example, placed on a container chassis 10 to interconnect container chassis into an integral stack of chassis. Usually, chassis are interconnected with corresponding twist-lock bayonets 18 and twist-lock receivers 12 between corresponding top surfaces of the chassis and either rail 42, 42a, or 42b or landing gear interconnections 14 or 14a between the rails on the bottom flanges of the other chassis. An axle clamp 40 may connect the axle of one chassis to the kingpin of another chassis. Rail clamps 42, 42a, or 42b may also be used to connect corresponding top surfaces.

A wheeled truck chassis for use with containers, the chassis having mechanisms for stacking a similar second chassis on the first, wherein the chassis is of the type having two spaced apart, longitudinally extending rails between the wheels wherein the front ends of the rails are connected by a transversely extending front bolster and the rear end of the rails are connected by a transversely extending rear bolster, the rear bolster having two upwardly extending twist-lock bayonets for the attachment of a container thereto and wherein the chassis also has at least one axle for the wheels wherein the axle is positioned between the bolsters and below the rails wherein the chassis also has a landing gear cross brace below the rails and between the front bolster and the axle, the mechanisms comprising: two permanently attached twist-lock bayonet receivers on the front bolster for receiving the rear bayonets of the second chassis so that the rear bayonets of the first and second chassis are receivable in the bayonet receivers on the front bolsters when the chassis are stacked in a reversed, inverted relationship; two sliding rail clamps permanently and slidably attached to the landing gear cross brace to adjust to the width of the rails on the second chassis and having means for receiving and fixing the rails of the second chassis in the sliding rail clamps and to the first chassis. A wheeled truck chassis for use with containers, the chassis having mechanisms for stacking a second chassis on the first, wherein the chassis are the type having two spaced apart, longitudinally extending rails wherein the front ends of the rails are connected by a transversely extending front bolster and the rear end of the rails are connected by a transversely extending rear bolster and wherein the chassis also has at least one axle for the wheels positioned between the bolsters and below the rails, a landing gear cross brace between the front bolster and the axle and a downwardly extending kingpin at the forward end of the chassis, the mechanisms comprising: a removable axle saddle having means for releasably receiving a kingpin at one end and means for releasably receiving an axle at the opposite end for holding the axles of each chassis in a space relationship to the kingpins of each chassis when the chassis are stacked in a reversed, inverted relationship; and two fixed rail clamps each pivotally attached to one of each of the rails so as to be pivotally positionable between a first extended position for grasping the rails of the second chassis and second stored position.
