What to Look for When Buying a Reefer Trailer
- Refrigeration unit — Carrier Transicold or Thermo King; check unit hours (15,000–25,000 hr life)
- Temperature range — single-temp (-20°F to +65°F) vs. multi-temp (2–3 zones for different products)
- Box insulation — foam panels; inspect for delamination, water infiltration, and door seal condition
- Interior dimensions — pallet clearance and door opening width are critical for standard pallet loads
