Just wondering - reefer on a flatbed?

Moving them from dealer to another, perhaps someone junked out 2 trailers and sold the units off of them, new units coming from factory, someone bought them to build a cooler,exporting to foreign country just off the top of my head.

 

Got scrapped out for the aluminum and headed for the junkyard I guess. I hope the floors don't cave in.

 

Power for refrigerated intermodal containers

 

Hmmmmm, never seen that before. I do know there a few companies that have portable cooling systems mounted on trailers that are used to provide temporary cooling to building when the building's AC unit goes down. They use canvas duct work to blow cool air in a window, and get return air out another. There are also portable cooling systems on flat beds that hook up to the back of a van trailer loaded with produce that needs to be cooled a little. Bulk potatoes especially. Usually both of these types of machines have a much larger cooling capacity than a reefer unit. Not real sure what you saw. Perhaps a training module for mechanics, or a display for sales ?

 

I'd guess refrigerated produce. A refer trailer with side access.

 

You described a European "Conestoga" style reefer trailer.
