What do you need to know before buying a reefer trailer?
Before you break open the piggy bank, count your change, and buy one (or an entire fleet), do some research into what you’re getting. Research not only the trailer but the seller. Newer trailers are of course better than the older ones. By newer I am referring to the last decade, perhaps since 2000. Unlike the old noisy engines of the previous models, the newer reefers have better more efficient motors providing the power to the refrigeration systems.

Another great feature, the newer ones offer multi-temperature refrigeration. This means the system uses additional evaporators operating from the same power source. By doing so, you can use movable partitions, creating separate compartments, allowing for the hauling of different types of cargo. Each space can then maintain its own temperature!

Besides the multi-refrigeration systems, reefers now come equipped with warning systems. A gauge is able to display the trailer’s temperature and indicate any changes and/or issues. This alerts the driver of any problems, allowing him/her the opportunity to immediately correct the problem, instead not being aware until a fuel stop.
