In need of something with a heavier GVW for over the road deliveries and a mix of stop and go and then highway driving…18’, 20’, 24’ Reefer Trucks provide a good option.
A big factor in considering a used refrigeration truck is fuel consumption. Fuel consumption can be affected by a number of external factors, including the number of door openings, whether the delivery route is urban or rural and the type of product – fresh, frozen or chilled. A used reefer truck with the capability to keep food cold even when stationary is a huge plus. Electric standby is also becoming a popular choice and is used to pre-cool the vehicle before loading and to maintain the box temperature while the vehicle is parked. It is ideal when vans need to be parked while loaded overnight or during an event and can be plugged into mains electricity.
Clean, well maintained used refrigeration vans and trucks are a good option in today’s cost conscious environment. Operating a reliable used truck will keep your product moving, customers happy, and money on your side.
