The new Supra units are mounted to one 18-tonne and two 12-tonne DAF LF rigids, all featuring bodies from Gray & Adams. The trucks represent new additions to Keep It Cool’s growing 18-strong temperature-controlled vehicle fleet, which includes a mix of 3.5-tonne vans to 26-tonne rigids.
The Carrier Transicold Supra 850 MT units deliver constant airflow, independent of engine speed.
On the road seven days a week and clocking up 100,000 kilometres a year, the new trucks and refrigeration units are suited for intensive delivery schedules.
Business founder Nikki Redhead said: “Our business is rapidly expanding so we’ve turned to Carrier to support that growth. These new vehicles were initially bought to replace older trucks, but customer demand required us to take them on as additional assets. This has meant Carrier has had to play an increasingly vital role, both with the new vehicles and for helping us keep our older fridge units in service and running smoothly.”
Expected to remain in operation up to seven years, the new Supra 850 MT units are backed by Carrier Transicold’s BluEdge fixed cost full-service maintenance package, which includes annual temperature control testing and certification, regulatory checks and access to the company’s oneCALL 24/7 incident management service.
