Q: ARE THERMO KING UNITS EXPENSIVE?

A: Thermo King quality usually commands an initial purchase price premium over competitive offerings. This is significantly outweighed by the lower life cycle  costs delivered by high operational efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, lower fuel consumption, longer service life and higher re sale value.

 

Q: ARE TK UNITS COMPLIANT WITH CURRENT AND FUTURE EMISSIONS?

A: All Thermo King products are compliant to the year 2013. All units minimize emissions, waste and noise pollution and are in compliance with or exceed the most stringent EU and USA E.P.A. standards.

 

Q: WHAT IS THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF UNIT AND BODY FOR MY APPLICATION?

A: The important factors are:

  • Required Cargo temperature
  • Body Dimensions
  • Quantity and type of product on board
  • The number of expected door openings for delivery

Your Thermo King dealer can perform a heat load calculation to give the optimum combination of insulation type and thickness and unit capacity given the above information.

In general, the better the insulation, the smaller the cooling capacity required from the unit and the lower the on-going running costs.
