interchangeable pallet system


Explanation:
Vaihtolava is actually "open container", but it is not sufficient here, as it does not mean the whole system that the Asker is referring to.

Kiitos!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Timo Lehtilä: Maybe it could also be "interchangeable platform equipment/devices" (= all those things on the truck enabling the handling of interchangeable platforms) and "... system" could refer to the whole solution of using interchangeable platforms.

Cargo vehicles are also:
semi-trailer truck; tractor-trailer; articulated truck; articulated lorry,

To my understanding, the fact that a lorry/truck can carry a variety of skips/containers is taken for granted in the English term and thus, is not mentioned. Instead, what is considered important is the way the skip or container is taken onboard.
