Available Refrigerated Trailer Types

On the COOP platform, common variations of Refrigerated Trailers listed for rent in Durham, NC include:

Wood floor

Some reefer trailers are fitted with wooden flooring. As much as it was common a long time ago, they are still widely used. The greatest advantage of using a wooden floor is that it aids the circulation of air. Produce is commonly transported using such a trailer.

Metal floor

If your commodity in transit does not need the presence of air circulation then metal flooring is the way to go. The good thing about metal floors is that it preserves the cold way better than a wood floor. They are also durable when compared to wooden floors.

Front Fixed

A front fixed reefer trailer has one cooling component that is diesel-powered and can be easily adjusted to the most favorable temperature. This one unit is in charge of the temperature settings of the entire room. Such refrigerated trailers are meant for the transportation of commodities that share similar characteristics. It is not uncommon to see only one type of commodity being transported in it.

Multiple temperature zones

Unlike the common reefers that have one refrigeration unit controlling the temperature for the whole trailer. A multiple temperature zone trailer comes fitted with a number of units. This allows transportation of different commodities at a go, that might require different set temperatures.
