Did you know? Chassis usage fees account for about 8-12% of the total costs associated with inland transportation. Freight forwarding companies are getting smart about how they use these resources, managing to cut down per-container costs from ₹2,400 to ₹1,800 by scheduling efficiently and pooling resources.



Fee Structure and Calculation

The fees for chassis usage can differ based on the type of equipment, how long you rent it, and the current market demand. Daily rates generally fall between ₹1,200 and ₹3,000 for standard chassis, while specialized equipment like reefer chassis can cost between ₹2,500 and ₹4,000, and extendable units might range from ₹3,000 to ₹5,000. If you only need a chassis for a short time, you’ll face per-use charges, but if you’re a regular user, monthly contracts can offer better rates. Keep in mind that during peak seasons, fees can spike by 25-50% due to high demand.

Cost Optimization Strategies

Freight forwarding companies are finding ways to keep chassis costs down through smart planning, joining pools, and managing their usage effectively. They coordinate pickup and delivery schedules to shorten rental times, utilize pool chassis at major terminals, and negotiate contracts based on volume with equipment providers. With some advanced planning, they can slash chassis costs by 20-30% compared to last-minute rental decisions.

Technology and Efficiency

Thanks to digital platforms, companies can check chassis availability in real-time, automate bookings, and track usage to make the most of their equipment. GPS tracking plays a crucial role in reducing detention charges by ensuring accurate timing and efficient route planning. Freight forwarding companies that implement integrated chassis management systems often see a 15-25% drop in equipment costs and enjoy better service reliability through improved resource allocation and planning.
