Reefer Trailer FAQ

How do I check the condition of the refrigeration unit on a used reefer trailer?

Pull the unit's hour meter reading and maintenance log. Request a pre-purchase inspection from a Carrier or Thermo King certified dealer. Run a full cool-down cycle to verify temperature pull-down. Check coils, belts, compressor oil, and door seals. Units over 20,000 hours may need major overhaul soon.

What is a multi-temp reefer trailer?

A multi-temp reefer has two or three separate temperature zones within the trailer, each with its own refrigeration circuit and bulkhead divider. This allows one trailer to simultaneously carry frozen goods at -10°F, fresh produce at 34°F, and ambient products. Multi-temp trailers are standard in grocery and food service distribution.

Utility 3000R vs. Great Dane Everest — which is better?

Both are top-tier reefer trailers. The Utility 3000R is the most common used reefer and has excellent insulation ratings. The Great Dane Everest uses ThermoGuard insulation and is known for temperature consistency. The choice usually comes down to availability in your region — both hold their value well.
