Dovey Premium Products cuts noise with Carrier refrigeration 03 February 2011

Dovey Premium Products (DPP) has selected Carrier Transicold to supply low-noise refrigeration technology across its new truck fleet.

The Dorset-based firm, which supplies chicken products to restaurants and wholesalers, says it specified Carrier's Supra 550 on four new 7.5 tonne MAN trucks to minimise disruption during quiet hours, reduce its carbon footprint and cut operating costs.

"Our headquarters back onto a residential estate, so we needed a temperature controlled system that would be sympathetic to our surroundings, while offering us increased value for money," explains Geoffrey Dovey, CEO of Dovey Premium Products.

He also points to this fridge unit's easy servicing and reputation for low downtime, due to its independent diesel drive, which also maintains temperature integrity regardless of engine speed.

DPP estimates that each vehicle will complete 70,000km per year and says they will remain on the fleet for five years. The Supra units will be covered by Carrier's Golden Cold fixed cost repair and maintenance agreement.
