What type of reefer should I get

My GD duct floor is perfectly spaced so when you go to pin wheel a pallet, all the wheels get wedged in the floor and you can’t move it, my utility was closer and you could still move.

I would try a vanguard before I did another utility, but my next one will definately have a flat floor

 

Never had any problems with pallet jack in reefers. I also never side swipe the jack to turn the pallet around to put it into the spot. Lower the pallet on the floor a bit before and go around with an empty jack to lift it from the other side to push it into the place. A bit more pumping, yet saves the spine.

 

Not talking about turning them around,

 

Word "also" points to "in addition to" whatever was discussed. Many people may find info on here useful, as it is not taught elsewhere.

Picture looks beautiful. At the same time it is just picture and has no real life application. 30 pallets will never fit into the trailer even sideways, let alone spaced. Who does spaced anyways?

 

Uhhhh what?

i do it quite regularly, 30 pallets is an easy week, i don’t have to up stack anything,

54 foot trailer will actually get you 32 spots IIRC

 

I've never pulled dry van, so dono the sizes of pallets and freight you're hauling, but in a reefer the most I was getting was 28 sided with couple feet left perfectly jammed with no overhanged product. Chep pallets, forget it, 24.

 

We put 30 on a 53" reefer every day.

 

Flat doors are heavier, but I think it is worth it. You get really spoiled with a flat floor.

 

Good, more weight, more money, I guess. I have different experience, and less weight more better.

 

Are you buying a new or used reefer?
