Available Refrigerated Straight Truck Types

Here are some possible variations of Refrigerated Straight Truck rentals in Worcester, MA

Insulation Straight Truck

Insulation straight trucks are a form of temperature-modifying trucks that lack a traditional refrigeration unit. Despite this, they are still considered to be a variation of a reefer due to all of the thick insulation they have that keeps cargo cool for short periods of time, making it ideal for non-perishables that are temperature-sensitive.

Single-Temperature Refrigeration Straight Truck

A single-temperature refrigeration straight truck is any type of reefer with a refrigeration unit to keep freight at the desired temperature. In addition to the refrigeration unit, this single-temperature refrigerated straight truck comes with insulation to help maintain temperature levels regardless of outside conditions, making it ideal for transporting large amounts of frozen cargo in one trip.

Multiple-Temperature Zones Straight Truck

If you’re transporting sets of cargo that require different levels of storage temperature, then the multiple-temperature zone variation of the refrigerated straight truck is the variation for you. The multiple-temperature zone reefer has a refrigerator unit with advanced cooling technology, as well as partitions to separate the different levels of temperature.

Refrigerated Straight Truck Brands

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

Freightliner

Freightliner manufactures quality straight trucks like the Freightliner M2 series, and pairs it with Thermo King refrigeration units to give you the best-in-class refrigerated straight trucks for your refrigerated transportation needs. Providing the world with different trucks since 1942, this manufacturer has built a trustworthy reputation over the years.

Wabash

Wabash National was started back in 1985 and has grown to be one of America’s largest manufacturers of semi-trailers and liquid transportation systems. With models like the Wabash Arcticlite and the Wabash MSC Reefer, which are made to be lighter and more fuel-efficient, you can count on Wabash as your next reliable rental for a refrigerated straight truck.

Utility

Utility is a great manufacturer of different types of trailers, but they’re also a great manufacturer of single and multi-temperature refrigeration units. With over a century of experience perfecting their craft since their start in 1914, making them a great choice for your next reefer rental with their Utility 3000R and 3000R Multi-Temp.

Refrigerated Straight Truck Uses

The Trucks rented on COOP can be used for any of your business needs. Here are some examples of the types of uses for Refrigerated Straight Trucks rented on COOP.

Medical Equipment

Many medicines need to be stored at specific temperatures to ensure that they remain safe, effective, and efficient in saving patient lives. When these medicines get transported, it is important that they are transported in a vehicle that can support the temperature needs of the medicine. Because of this, the refrigerated straight truck is a great option to keep these medicines protected from outside elements while also allowing you to manipulate the temperature inside of the cargo area and keep it at that consistent temperature without disruption.

Produce Delivery

Foodborne illnesses from contaminated foods affect tens of millions of people every year. One contributor to foodborne illnesses spreading is the improper storage of produce and meats that allow these illnesses and bacteria to multiply. By using a refrigerated straight truck and following food safety and storage protocols, you can help combat the spread of foodborne illnesses and keep consumers safe, while also increasing your profitability by decreasing the waste that comes with improperly stored foods.

Flower Delivery

Many flowers are very sensitive to their environment, and improperly handling them during the transportation process can cause them to die, often making the grower lose months to years of progress with the plants they grew. A multiple-temperature zone refrigerated straight truck is a great choice for these flowers because it can support the temperature needs of different batches of flowers all in one trip.
