Trailer supplier Cadwallader has taken delivery of the first production Thermo King SLXi-300 refrigeration system, which has been fitted to a Bizien 13.6m refrigerated trailer in its hire fleet.
Oswestry-based Cadwallader operates a 350-strong refrigerated trailer hire fleet and the 2017 spec Bizien triple-axle trailer with the Thermo King SLXi-300 refrigeration system is being used as a demonstration unit across the UK.
“We were really excited about the prospect of getting the newly launched SLXi into our fleet as soon as possible,” says Mark Pritchard, Cadwallader’s operations manager.
Launched last year at IAA in Hanover, Thermo King’s SLXi system can deliver up to 20% fuel savings. It is the first fully telematics-enabled transport refrigerated trailer unit to include Bluetooth connectivity as standard, delivering full visibility of the unit and load condition using Thermo King’s new TK BlueBox communication device.
