Can Timbren ASR3500S06 Axle-Less Suspension System Bolt to 10 Storage Container to Create Trailer
Question:
Can I bolt these to a 10foot shipping container to convert it to a trailer? I understand I will need to add a receiver in the front as well.

It's likely that you could add the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System to a 10 foot shipping container to create an enclosed trailer, as long as the combined weight of the container and what you're planning on loading it up with won't exceed its 3500 lb weight capacity. Additionally, I'm not terribly familiar with how rigid a storage container is at the bottom edges, you might need to fabricate some sort of subframe to make the structure more rigid.
For hub/drums, I'd recommend # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and # AKEBRK-35-SA for self adjusting electric brake assemblies. The hub/drums include bearings, races, a grease seal, a grease cap and lug nuts. The brake assemblies do not include the # BRKH10B mounting hardware.
I've linked to a product description video for the Timbren # ASR3500S06 alxe-less suspension system.
