Cooler Trailers Superior Design- Small refrigerated trailers Tom McBride

Emergency cold storage appears on the minds of many this time of year. We have experienced more calamities over the years and the need to have an emergency cold storage plan in place for your business is imperative.
Hurricane, tornado and severe storm season are upon us and the time to have a plan in place for your emergency cold storage is here. Just ask any local restaurant if they were prepared for their walk in cooler or freezer to breakdown. Many businesses could not survive a loss of $20,000 plus dollars of product stored in their walk in coolers and freezers.
Most recently, Cooler Trailers were on the scene at Joplin, Tuscaloosa, New York and other catastrophic areas in a relief and temporary cold storage effort. The importance of cold storage is also critical to those that need to keep vaccines, medications and other medicinal products.
Could your business or you survive an extended power outage. We get calls from FEMA to local municipalities in times of crisis. Don’t wait til then, usually it is too late.

The best transport refrigeration units will have hot gas defrost. So what is hot gas defrost and why should I care. Good question. These are the little things that make a big difference to the well being of your product that you have stored inside your box.

Think back to your school days I know its a reach for some of us. Remember Mrs. McGillicutty’s class on the day she explained what happens to water when it reaches a certain temperature. If you were able to stay awake long enough to hear her say that at 32 degrees water changes from a liquid to a solid in this case ice.

I know folks are saying that's great Tom, but I only need to keep my product refrigerated at 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit that doesn’t apply to me. It absolutely does and here is why:
In order to maintain a box temperature of 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit plus open and closing doors, your evaporator coil has to be 10-12 degrees colder or about 25 degrees to maintain that 35 degree box temperature. So it is a scientific fact that you will get an ice build up on your coil its just a matter of when. Things like moist hot days and door openings can speed up the process but at some point you will need to defrost the ice accumulation on your coil.

There are a few ways to go about this the least effective is someone telling you to just shut off unit for an hour to hour and a half with uncertainty that its defrosted. Can your product really handle those dramatic temperature swings. I always tell our folks that if someone gives you this option run the other direction because they obviously have no concern for the check you wrote for the product inside.

The next method is a step up but not the best and that's electric defrost. The easiest way to describe this is its like having a toaster oven element on the backside of your coil and usually take 30-45 minutes a cycle. It will only defrost the ice where the heat coil is and doesn’t completely remove the ice so you will have to defrost more frequently and running these heat strips are more expensive to operate. Heat strips or electric defrost are less expensive to purchase but more expensive to operate, that's the important takeaway here.

The best and most effective way to defrost the evaporator coil is with hot gas defrost. The simpliest way to explain this is it’s like a heat pump that takes the heat generated from the working compressor and flashes that heat back through the coil internally and in about 3-5 minutes your back in business. This happens so fast that there are no real temp swings in your product insuring safe storage and delivery throughout the day. The takeaways here are the time 3-5 minutes and it happens internally so all the ice is removed, it’s more cost efficient to run and operate.

Superior built refrigerated trailers yep right down to the axles. To the untrained eye an axle is an axle but to those that know the importance it’s a huge part of the total package. For example in my industry everyone else uses 3500 lbs axles while we use 5200 lbs drop axles. What that simply means is that Cooler Trailers can literally haul a ton and a half (or 3000 lbs.) more product than other trailers.

We use drop axles to give us easy ground entry into trailer in fact 19″ up into our cooler trailers just like a step of stairs at home. We also put electric brakes on both axles to ensure that when you need to stop with all that product you can stop, it’s that simple. Axles play an important role in what and how much you can ultimately haul in your freezer or refrigerated trailer and should also play a role in your decision as to how you plan to use yours.

For example, Our 7×12 trailers can haul up to 8000 lbs with the appropriate vehicle. Although any 1/2 ton vehicle can pull our trailers to maximize the load capacity we recommend a 3/4 ton vehicle or more. Most 1/2 ton vehicles can still haul around 2500 lbs plus the trailer weight.

If you transport, distribute and store frozen or refrigerated products then check out http://www.coolertrailers.com and discover how we can help your business starting today. Axles may not be glamorous but they are an important piece to a superior built freezer or refrigerated trailers from Cooler Trailers.

I have been getting a lot of questions from a previous video we did on transport refrigeration and how you could save $100/hr on a technician so I wanted to clarify that for folks here.
Our one piece 110 volt refrigeration unit is made from standard parts that can be serviced and maintained by any basic refrigeration service tech and best of all parts can be purchased at your local service facility. With other transport refrigeration equipment you are held hostage by a specialist for repairs and pay their high repair parts cost.

For example in our local area here in Ormond Beach, Florida the closest specialist to work on other transport products I have to call either Orlando or Jacksonville, both an hour away in different directions and going rate here in 2015 for them is in the $175-225/ hr range. For any basic refrigeration technician in my backyard the rate is $75/ hr. That’s a savings of $100/ hr plus they are in my area so I don’t need to travel to them and that’s huge when it comes to repairs or maintenance.

So who is our one piece 110 volt freezer cooler unit good for. We install our refrigeration units on 12′ insulated trailers that are capable of 10-50 degrees Fahrenheit with loads up to 8000 lbs. That really is the max size for the 110 volt unit. We have bigger units and trailers for more info visit us at http://www.coolertrailers.com
The transport refrigeration unit is only half the battle but an important one and any time you can save $100/ hr on a transport refrigeration technician we think you should know about it.
