Hulsteins hydraulics claim edge in transport refrigeration

Swedish transport refrigeration specialist Hultsteins reckons its eco-friendly hydraulic systems – now established in Scandinavia – can cut fuel costs by up to 62% and reduce CO2 emissions “by at least 98%”, compared to diesel-driven units.

According to sales and operations manger Simon Wood, Hultsteins truck refrigeration units also dramatically reduce noise, cut overall weight and halve R&M costs.

“They also increase interior load space, reduce total life costs, solve working at height issues and reduce VOR [vehicle off road] times,” he insists, adding that Hultsteins also offers aerodynamics kits and industry-leading warranties.

Wood concedes that there are “one or two” companies in the refrigeration transport sector attempting to overcome the limitations of conventional equipment, but insists Hultsteins has “already achieved many of the solutions” – and proven them across continental Europe. .

“At Hultsteins, we have for many years addressed and resolved these issues – and in far harsher environments than the UK,” he continues.

“Our range of hydraulic refrigeration units is [designed] for trucks in the 7.5 to 26 tonne range that operate in conjunction with the new low-emission truck engines.”
