DIARIO DEL PUERTO New habits 43 ADAPTING TO MARKET NEEDS: MULTI-TEMPERATURE SEMI-TRAILERS Current trends in the refrigerated transport market are moving towards multi-temperature refrigerated semi-trailers as opposed to the traditional singletemperature or bi-temperature models. This is due to the fact that more and more goods are being transported at different temperatures. For example, in the same multi-temperature unit, strawberries can be transported at 2 or 3ºC, oranges at 5 or 6ºC and, in addition, there may also be frozen products in the load. To cover any transport need of this type, Lecitrailer uses the Evolution range of reefer trailers. ”Today, the most commonly used refrigerated vehicle has three temperature zones, two of them are controlled and a third is for dry cargo, separated by rigid movable partitions built into the roof or by thermal separators. In addition, the demand for threezone, temperature-controlled reefers is starting to become commonplace”, the company explains. To supply supermarkets or food outlets in city centres, refrigerated semi-trailers such as Lecitrailer’s multi-temperature CityTrailers can also be used as an alternative to heavy rigid refrigerated trucks, ”CityTrailers are easier to manoeuvre because one of their axles is movable and they are also more versatile because they can be hitched to any tractor unit”, concluded the firm’s sources. Lecitrailer uses the Evolution range of refrigerated trailers to cover all multi-temperature transport needs.
