A short presentation I did on explaining chassis pool concepts to a novice group.

3. What is a Chassis Pool?
There are two basic* types of chassis
pools.
*There are always exceptions! A topic for
another day.
1. Neutral Chassis Pools
2. Cooperative Chassis Pools (A.K.A
Co-Op Pools)

4. What is a Chassis Pool?
Before we get too far into the two types of
pools, what are these pool chassis used for?
To move containers between two points, like
 Marine Terminals
 Rail Ramps
 Container Yards
 Distribution Centers
 Warehouses

16. What is a Chassis Pool?
A Neutral Chassis Pool consists of a group of
third-party owned chassis domiciled at a
facility and available to shipping lines and
truckers for short-term rental.
 Neutral Pools are like Car rental agencies.
 The third-party owns the chassis and rents
them to users (i.e. steamship, truckers).
 Customers pick-up and drop-off the chassis at
specific starting locations.

17. What is a Chassis Pool?
Benefits of Neutral Pools
 Flexible User Agreements with bundled
services to include: Per Diem, M&R, Mgmt.
 Equipment Management Services: Logistics /
Forecasting / Repositioning of assets.
 Networking synergies among all facilities
 Improved asset utilization and shipment
velocity
 Reduced capital asset expenditure
 Over the road repair services

18. What is a Chassis Pool?
Coop pools are a collection of steamship lines
that pool their equipment together, in order to
reduce costs.
 Also know as a “Grey” Fleet
 Each member of the Pool supplies a
percentage of equipment relative to their
historical or future usage trends.
 Expenses, such as M&R and re-positioning
cost are passed back to the members.
 Third-party manager only gets a management
fee.

19. What is a Chassis Pool?
Benefits of Cooperative Pools
 Increased terminal utilization
 Improved asset utilization
 Economies of scale
 Reduction in M&R expenses
 Higher velocity and turn time
 Reduced repositioning cost

20. What is a Chassis Pool?
I hear lot about Domestic and
International Pools, but they
were not on your list?!

21. What is a Chassis Pool?
The difference between Domestic and
International pools are chassis size.
Domestics chassis are for 48’ & 53’
containers.
International Chassis are for 20’, 40’ & 45’
containers.
Either chassis can be in a neutral or Co-op
pool.
