5 Important Features of Modern Refrigerated Trucks

The refrigerated trucks, sometimes referred to as reefers, give trucking businesses temperature control over their freight space. As the following points will show, these trucks have unique features all designed to boost the efficiency of your trucking business.

Versatility

Traditionally, the use of refrigerated trucks has been strongly linked to the fresh food industry. Modern refrigeration trucks can meet the temperature requirements of many other high-value cargo such as pharmaceuticals, tobacco products, cosmetic items, industrial chemicals, and many more so as to deliver them in good condition.

With multi-temperature refrigeration units, modern temperature-controlled trucks give fleet operators the power to make temperature and air flow settings to match the hauling requirements of different food and non-food products. Hence, today's trucks are not only more efficient and reliable, but quite diverse in their use as well.

Built to last

The bodies of refrigerated trucks vary according to their application. High-quality material such as anodised aluminium and galvanised steel can be used to provide excellent protection against elements such as corrosion, rust and stains. This way, your refrigerated trucks will last for long despite coming into contact with elements such as chemical spills that may compromise their durability.

Wide collection of performance-enhancement possibilities

There's a broad assortment of ways for you to enhance the performance of refrigerated trucks even more. From load-restraint systems and curbside doors, to liners, bumpers, hydraulic liftgates and many more, you'll without a doubt find something to fit your needs.

For easier loading and unloading of freight, you can install a new curbside sliding doors with configurations that only require a small fraction of the swing radius of conventional doors to open, especially in confined spaces.

Thermal efficiency

The side walls, ceilings, and floor areas of your refrigerated trucks are the primary contact points between the cargo and the truck. By pouring insulation material such as polyurethane foam to cover gaps that may exist in these heat-gain spots, air leaks that can lead to loss of product quality will be sealed properly. Using state-of-the-art foaming technology, the foam will be poured in place to increase the thermal integrity of your refrigeration units.

Eco-friendliness

When combined with evaporator-blowers, electrically-driven cold plates will ensure optimal temperature recovery and facilitate exceptional air circulation while producing less carbon emissions and noise pollution than the traditional mechanical or diesel-fuelled systems. As such, modern refrigerated transport vehicles are a great selection for the natural environment.
