Reefer Refrigerator Truck

Much of the long-distance refrigerated transport by truck is done using articulated trucks pulling refrigerated semi-trailers (reefers).

A ‘reefer’ refers to a refrigerator truck designed to carry freight at specific low temperatures.  Reefers are trucks with cooling systems.

A refrigerated semi trailer is a heavy truck for transporting goods that must be kept cold.  Reefers all contain refrigeration units.  A vent door is made of movable panels that are used to regulate the air intake.  Clearance lights indicate the form and dimensions of the specific reefer truck.  An upper side-rail is a truck part that in essence is a beam that runs the length of the upper frame of the reefer.  The rear reflector is a light-reflecting device that marks the back end of the reefer.  The lower side-rail is a beam that runs the length of the lower frame.  Support legs hold the semitrailer in a horizontal position.  A piece of metal that protects the end of the support leg of the reefer is called the sand shoe.  A front reflector marks the front end of the reefer using a light-reflecting device.
