Utilimaster Enters Refrigerated Market With Seamless Body
03 Octubre 2013 - 7:30AM
Utilimaster Corporation, a subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc.
(Nasdaq:SPAR), today unveiled refrigerated and freezer
configurations for its truck bodies. Utilimaster can upfit nearly
any van or truck by installing an insulated liner that is
completely seamless and tough enough to support forklift traffic,
while integrating customized shelving and cargo containment.
With today's announcement, Utilimaster is delivering on the
promise of serving as the industry's most comprehensive solutions
provider. Built tough with the capability to deliver optimal
performance and maximum versatility, Utilimaster refrigerated
bodies provide a superior option for delivery of perishable
cargo.
The cooling is provided by an over-the-road refrigeration system
with an engine-mounted compressor, a skirt-mounted condenser, and
dual 10" fan evaporators. Units are also available in
self-contained or cold plate configurations. The fuel for
self-contained units is supplied by the vehicle's diesel tank or an
auxiliary fuel tank. Cold plate units contain no mechanical parts,
so there is little chance of spoiled cargo as a result of blower
failure.
Mel Shields, Commercial Sales Manager, Utilimaster, said, "Our
customers asked Utilimaster to design and manufacture refrigerated
bodies to meet their needs. The seamless liner over the interior of
the truck, made using advanced polyurea technology, is superior to
the current market offering and provides the safest and most
durable solution available. This innovation enables us to also
provide a wide selection of customized interiors to meet our
customer's specifications."
The FDA-approved polyurea liner is safe for food contact. It
provides a seamless coating over the interior of the truck,
preventing food and juices from being trapped within the seams.
Polyurea lined trucks can be cleaned by simply hosing down the body
with no moisture penetrating the coating. The temperature integrity
of even the most demanding cargo is ensured with our insulation.
Injected polyurethane expanded foam insulates all our delivery
solutions and provides for seamless interiors in all compartments.
Polyurea is a fast-setting, rapid-gelling material used to create
extremely durable interiors.
