HYUNDAI TREANSLEAD THERMOTECH 53 SEMI-TRAILER WITH THERMOKING UNIT
Our refrigerated trailers, managed and tracked by satellite, are equipped with isothermal controls that comply with the strict environmental regulations of the State of California. When they return from each trip, they are washed, inside and out, a guarantee of safety for us is essential.
The trailers are Hyundai Treanslead ThermoTech which are designed to be the most efficient refrigerated trailers on the market. Thermal efficiency, lighter weight and greater durability speak to their commitment to excellence and that’s why Trans-West uses these trailers. The trailers are equipped with a Thermoking C-600 temperature refrigerated unit. This reefer operates consistently throughout its life cycle. Air chutes and return air baffles provide optimal airflow and even temperature distribution to reduce hot spots to ensure stable temperature throughout the trailer to maintain product quality being transported.
MAINTENANCE
The maintenance and repair facilities at our Lachine terminal allow our mechanics, so as not to call them our experts, to perform all the periodic maintenance required for our fleet of rolling vehicles as well as all our refrigerated units that equip our trailers dedicated to our transport operations as well as our rental service.
