Available Refrigerated Straight Truck Types

On the COOP platform, common variations of Refrigerated Straight Trucks listed for rent in Columbia, MD include:

Multiple Temperature Zone

Technology has allowed certain refrigerated straight trucks to be outfitted with multiple zone refrigeration units. This allows the cargo to be designated with multiple temperature zones. These can be a great option for businesses that may have a single load of goods with different temperature requirements, or a day full of different deliveries that need their own temperatures.

Metallic Floor

Metallic floors in refrigerated straight trucks provide certain unique benefits. Firstly, they are energy-efficient as the metal stays at the required temperature for longer than wood. On the downside, metallic floors are more rigid than wood floors and do not provide much shock absorption, nor do they allow much air circulation. This makes them a great choice for cargo such as medical supplies or frozen foods.

Wooden Floor

Wooden floor refrigerated straight trucks are an excellent option for cargo that needs increased air circulation, such as fresh produce or flowers. The wood also provides better shock absorption than metallic floors do. On the downside, wooden floors retain moisture that metallic floors do not, and will need to be replaced over time.

Refrigerated Straight Truck Brands

COOP offers multiple brands of rentals in Columbia, MD, check below for some potential brands for rent depending on availability.

The Manac brand is known all across North America for excellence in manufacturing its specialty trailers. Known for the special balanced quality that their trailers bring to the industry, Manac is the top specialty trailer manufacturer in the United States and the top trailer producer in Canada.

Wabash National has had the accolade of their trucks outfitting some of the largest fleets in the nation because of their increased efficiency. This helps large companies and fleets save money where it really counts, especially at a time when fuel costs have continued to rise. The technological innovations in Wabash refrigerated straight trucks help companies of any size build their profits and maximize efficiency.

Utility

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company has grown from a small mom & pop shop to a global leader in transportation manufacturing. As the nation’s oldest privately owned and family-operated trailer manufacturer, Utility brings the small-business level of customer service that you will not be able to find with the large conglomerates. The refrigerated straight trucks from Utility are extremely light yet incredibly strong, providing confidence where you want it and savings where you need them.

Doepker Industries

Doepker Industries has created such a strong reputation for quality and excellence in their manufacturing that their refrigerated straight trucks typically retain some of the highest resale values in the industry.
