A reefer trailer is a specialized type of trailer designed for transporting perishable goods that require temperature-controlled environments. These trailers are equipped with refrigeration units that maintain specific temperature settings, typically ranging from -20°C to +30°C (-4°F to 86°F). They are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and floral distribution, where maintaining the freshness and quality of products during transit is crucial.
Reefer trailers feature insulated walls, floors, and ceilings to minimize temperature fluctuations and prevent heat transfer. They are often equipped with advanced monitoring systems that allow operators to remotely monitor temperature levels, humidity, and other environmental conditions inside the trailer.
The refrigeration units in reefer trailers can be powered by the trailer’s own diesel engine or by electric power from an external source, providing flexibility in different operating environments. These trailers come in various sizes, from small units for local deliveries to large trailers suitable for long-haul transportation, making them essential assets in the logistics chain for perishable goods.
