Available Refrigerated Trailer Types

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

Metallic Floor

Most floor layouts are made of metallic material for the benefit of durability. The metal used also helps to maintain the set temperature as well as prevent moisture and air penetration inside the cargo area. Aluminum is commonly used and reinforced with a rust-free coating to enhance corrosion resistance benefits.

Wood floor

A reefer trailer with wooden flooring might be ideal for you if you need to ferry delicate cargo. This is on the account of the shock absorption qualities which help to increase the base support for goods being transported. Also, wood is naturally penetrable by air, hence these types of trailers are used for hauling cargo with airflow needs.

Front-Fixed

Many reefer trailers are structured with refrigeration equipment situated at the front part of the cargo area. The adjustment settings are used to even out the temperatures as required for any job. With this being a common variation of reefer trailers, join COOP to browse our front-fixed options available for rent within Pittsburgh.
