Reefer Weights

I have a great dane 53 with a carrier unit ,i had a great dane with a therm king unit i can barely get legal with same load ,yet the thermo king must be a lighter unit ,when i weighed both the carrier was 3 times heaver on the drives and everything was full of fuel at 42599 k what is the weight of a carrier unit thanks

 

Depends on which one

 

The ones we had were Great Danes and they were able to take in 48000 back in 2001 complete with tractor.

Tractor weights have gotten obese over the years.

 

EPA crap and 250 pounds of urea is taking a toll

 

My carrier great dane is 15200 full of 75 gallons.
Side skirts, 8 aluminum rims 11r22.5, carrier 7500x4...ice cream spec.
Excellent unit. I would buy another.
My truck, on the other hand, is a whopping 21800 full of 225 fuel and 20 (?) Def. 37000 exactly. Without chains. Add probably 300.

When I was specing it out, the thermo king was about 175 pounds heavier, according to the sales man. I went with carrier because I do a lot of frozen and believe the 6 cyl compressor is superior to thermo king's 4 cyl. On paper the cooling capacity is the same. Looking around at the places I go for frozen....the majority is carrier units.
