Reefer Units: Tmo King vs. Carrier

T/K gets serviced at 3000 hours and carrier at 1500 hr schedules.. We run Carrier butcant wait to get new T/K units makes for better night sleep. Also get asmuch insulation as u can. We usualy run produce but have just started geting in to frozen stuff more insulation the better for frozens.

 

I have 2 Wabash trailers with Carrier units.

 

Yep, fewer carrier dealers but as has been mentioned both will work on both units most of the time.

 

Carrier units take less effort to get and keep products a certain. I routinely run loads at -20 and from experience the carrier units Ade the best choice on a utility brand trailer.

 

You will probably find that has much more to do with trailer specs than the units themselves--also both carrier and TK make multiple units--some are stronger than others..so in reality...you can do anything with wither unti well---IF you spec both the right unit and the right trailer for your applicaion

 

I totally agree, I am just going off of personal experience and that of the carrier dealer that showed me a thing or two when my unit froze up...

 

I like TK..

 

I see this is an old post but was wondering if any of you guys had experience with TK SB-3 Whisper or the Carrier X 2500 Advance specifically?
The two trailers I have an opportunity to buy are both 2003 and both have about 10,000 on the units. Can you guys tell me which you think is a better unit and why?
Thanks

 

Dont buy the whisper,its an old hunk of junk.As long as the carrier is working I would buy it
