In refrigerated transport, a truck body works as hard as a refrigeration unit.
Long hours on the road and heavy loads combined with Australia’s harsh climate take their toll. Many bodies lose their efficiency or strength over time, leaving operators with higher running costs and tough decisions when the time comes to replace equipment.
This is where Transport Refrigeration Services’ (TRS) Thermaxx refrigerated bodies, paired with Thermo King units, make a real difference. This combination is designed to give operators reliable temperature control, reduced fuel consumption and bodies that continue performing year after year.
Thermaxx’s advanced panel technology delivers exceptional insulation and structural integrity, ensuring consistent performance even under pressure. This durability means that when a chassis reaches the end of its life, the body doesn’t have to.
According to TRS, many operators have successfully refitted their Thermaxx bodies onto new trucks years after their first purchase – saving thousands of dollars on replacement costs.
When matched with a Thermo King refrigeration unit, fleets can benefit from precise temperature control, dependable performance in harsh Australian conditions and improved operating efficiency. Together, the package protects perishable goods while lowering running expenses – a solution TRS claims is already trusted by transport businesses across the country.
TRS National Sales Manager, Luke Gordon, has seen the impact first-hand.
“We’ve had customers transfer their Thermaxx bodies that are seven to 10 years old onto new chassis, saving thousands on the cost of a replacement body and gaining real long-term value,” he said.
“Paired with Thermo King units, the package not only protects the load but also delivers maximum value over the vehicle’s life.”
TRS builds, services and maintains Thermaxx bodies at its branches in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia while providing exclusive support for Thermo King and Anteo customers in NSW and SA. This means operators can rely on one trusted partner for the long term – from specification and build through to ongoing servicing and parts.
