In the refrigerated transport industry, maintaining a consistent temperature is essential – not just for compliance but for protecting the integrity of goods and improving operational efficiency.
When operating in Australia’s often harsh and varied climate, thermal performance becomes even more critical.
That’s why Thermaxx designs its truck bodies to deliver maximum thermal efficiency.
Each body is engineered to have a low K-value, which means it resists heat transfer and helps maintain consistent internal temperatures with minimal energy use.
The K-value is an industry standard that measures thermal transfer – more specifically, how much heat passes through between the inside and outside of the truck body. The lower the K-value, the better the insulation.
In transport, a low K-value allows refrigeration systems to work more efficiently, resulting in lower energy consumption, less fuel use and reduced wear on equipment.
For operators, this translates into lower operating costs and improved performance. Refrigeration units don’t have to work as hard or as often, meaning less maintenance, fewer repairs and longer service life.
This also leads to better temperature stability for loads which reduces the risk of spoilage and helps meet the stringent compliance requirements for a wide range of products.
Thermaxx is an Australian manufacturer which tests its full range of truck bodies to the Australian Standard AS 4982. This provides clear, independently verified K-value data – making it easier for customers to compare thermal performance between products based on fact, not just price or branding.
According to Thermaxx, these tests have confirmed that its truck bodies consistently achieve some of the lowest K-values in the country.
“To be competitive in the refrigerated transport industry in this economic climate, it is vital every efficiency is maximised,” said Thermaxx National Sales Manager, Luke Gordon.
“The long-term savings of TRS Thermaxx are undeniable.”
For operators looking to reduce total cost of ownership while ensuring consistent thermal performance across long distances and challenging conditions, Thermaxx truck bodies offer a tested, proven solution.
