chassi rebaixado
Explanation:
"Drop Frame container" = "tanque para chassi rebaixado"
Entendo assim - o "container" é um tanque, ou seja, "bulk liquid tank container", conforme o link abaixo.

carreta rebaixada


Explanation:
Se for em relação à carreta que leva o contêiner, encontrei isso aqui: http://atrhol.com.br/novo/Texto/Texto.aspx?NomePai=Frota

Pois "drop frame container" só encontrei relacionado à carreta, como "drop frame container chassis".

agree  Mario Freitas: Is this the same as a "low-boy"? Usually "drop" is used when you have an opening hatch underneath or when part of the structure is "detachable" from the bottom.

  -> Thanks, Mario. Have a look in Google images. The chassis is "dropped" before and after the wheels to make it very close to the ground.
