NEW SCHMITZ CARGOBULL MULTI-TEMP FRIDGE UNVEILED AT TCS&D SHOW

Temperature Controlled Storage & Distribution (TCS&D) Show, Stand D26, Peterborough Arena, 16/17 September 2015

Schmitz Cargobull has today unveiled its flagship multi-temperature S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE trailer at the Temperature Controlled Storage & Distribution (TCS&D) Show.

The S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE is Schmitz Cargobull’s top-of-the-range reefer, exclusively featuring its own-brand temperature controlled refrigeration unit. The launch of the multi-temp system follows the 2014 domestic launch of the mono-temp model, which is shortlisted for the TCS&D Award for Refrigerated Trailer of the Year 2015.

Visitors to Schmitz Cargobull’s stand can see how the multi-temp refrigeration unit precisely controls up to three compartments within a single trailer, providing pharmaceutical-grade monitoring and cooling.

Paul Avery, Managing Director, Schmitz Cargobull UK, says: “The S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE is the very latest in reefer technology and we’re delighted to bring the fridge of the future to the market. We’re now truly a one-stop shop for fleets looking for the latest in temperature controlled technology and trailers.”

Built in Vreden, Germany, the S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE incorporates Schmitz Cargobull’s unique roof evaporator, which has an ultra-compact design to provide maximum interior load capacity. Unparalleled evaporator efficiency means Schmitz Cargobull’s skilled engineers have reduced the number of evaporator ribs, hence increasing the spacing and reducing water entrapment, ultimately leading to up to 50 per cent fewer defrosting cycles.

Complete control is available at the touch of a button through a simple to use control panel, which also records alerts, mileage and maintenance intervals. Because the fridge unit has been designed by Schmitz Cargobull to work in perfect harmony with the German trailer manufacturer’s innovative trailer bodies, the evaporator operates under continuous speed control to ensure the correct temperature is maintained within narrow margins, regardless of load size, and with much smaller deviation than that associated with stop-start systems.

The S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE incorporates Schmitz Cargobull’s integrated TrailerConnect temperature and mapping telematics package. This allows the recording and monitoring of all temperature data, door opening times and other pieces of vital information, in real time. This can be used to demonstrate that goods have been kept at the specified set point during transit, protecting the cold chain at all times.

The system also bolsters fleet security by constantly tracking the trailer’s location, with the telematics unit and sensors fitted in secure areas to protect against tampering. It is programmed to relay all warnings to the operator via a text message or email.

Furthermore, the trailer incorporates Schmitz Cargobull’s low-weight, low-maintenance FERROPLAST® panels and the easy-to-clean PIEK-certified MF6 Multifunction Floor for ultra-quiet loading.
