Longer, colder trailer equipped by Carrier Transicold 29 March 2012

One of the UK's first 15.65m refrigerated trailers has been delivered into the Tesco fleet, equipped with temperature-controlled Vector technology from Carrier Transicold.

Another 24 high-volume extended length trailers are scheduled to be delivered to the supermarket shortly, to help it realise further operational and environmental improvements.

All 25 new triple-compartment Gray & Adams semi-trailers will be fitted with the Vector 1850 MT (multi-temperature) low-noise unit for Tesco's superstore deliveries.

"Tesco operates one of the largest Vector 1850-equipped fleets in the UK and the beauty of this technology is that it is flexible in suiting a wide range of trailer specifications, be it single, double-deck or these new longer length trailers," comments John Forster, sales director, Carrier Transicold UK.

To accommodate the additional 2.05m trailer length, Forster says Carrier Transicold simply had to modify the refrigeration equipment with a longer wiring loom that connects the nose-mounted unit to a series of evaporators and temperature sensors.
