A longstanding customer of Carrier Transicold, the operator’s Supra 850 MT (multi-temperature) units are fitted to bespoke Gray & Adams rigid bodies on IVECO Eurocargo chassis, and are replacements for older units.
“Carrier Transicold produces some of the most reliable temperature-controlled truck systems in the industry,” says John Lee, managing director, Courier Express. “On top of this, every Carrier product we operate is intuitive and easy to use; the performance we get across our entire fleet is unparalleled.”
The Supra units provide constant airflow, independent of engine speed, which means rapid pull-down and accurate multi-temperature set point control.
Working on multi-drop delivery routes across the UK, each vehicle will be in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is expected to clock up around 140,000km per year.
Service and maintenance is provided by Carrier Transicold Manchester, part of an independent service network.
“On the rare occasion we’ve had any problems, the service we get from Carrier Transicold Manchester is fantastic. If we need to call them between routine servicing, the engineers always respond quickly and efficiently – they really look after us,” adds Lee.
