REEFER TRAILERS
Refrigerated trucks, or reefer trucks for short, make moving temperature-sensitive loads not only possible but easy as well. As such, temperature-sensitive goods and easily perishable items have always been challenging to move, but Grasshopper Trans will transport them impeccably.
Here we’ll discuss some of the benefits of using reefer trailers and how they work, and what they are most commonly used.
What is a reefer trailer?
As mentioned earlier, reefer trailers are specially designed trailers that can accommodate any type of temperature-sensitive freight. Reefer trailers can have anywhere between one to three separated compartments, with every one of them having its temperature control system. The temperature control system allows you to not only control the temperature of the trailer but, in most cases, air humidity as well.
How do they work?
Based on their name, you may think that reefer trailers only offer the opportunity to keep your load cool. However, that’s not the case. Reefer trailers are entirely temperature-controlled, which means that you can cool them down or heat them as needed. This is particularly useful when transporting goods that need to stay cool in summer or that you need to prevent from freezing in winter. Reefer transport is, therefore, widely used in various industries. Being able to stay on top of the indoor temperature brings a lot of convenience to transporting multiple types of goods. Additionally, since they even come in three separate compartment options, that means you can transport three types of goods with very different temperature requirements at the same time.
What are they used for?
Initially, the answer to this question may seem straightforward – Reefer trailers are used for transporting various types of food and produce. Now, while that is true, it’s not the only type of cargo commonly carried by such vehicles. Aside from the meat, vegetables, and fruits, reefer trailers are also used to transfer various kinds of sweets – such as chocolate, that need to be protected against melting. Aside from this, they’re also used for transporting different vines and other spirits, where the temperature change can affect their quality. Moreover, reefer trucks are commonly used in the medical industry to transport all sorts of medicine and similar, temperature-sensitive items. In the end, it’s rarely the case to hire reefer trucks to transport sensitive artwork pieces or museum exponents.
So, if you’re ever looking to transport any type of temperature-sensitive goods, make sure you find an excellent carrying company that can meet your needs. Also, do know that you have options for the size and type of reefer trailers so that you can transport various goods at the same time.
