To ensure the autonomy of a refrigerated container, ThermoKing diesel generators (GenSet) are used. In turn, reefer containers are equipped with refrigeration units that are connected to these generators. Gensets are capable of providing enough power to start the refrigeration unit; other equipment simply cannot cope with this task.
This makes the use of clip-on diesel generators an indispensable part of transporting cargo that requires a special temperature regime. No additional modifications to the vehicle body or the container itself are required, since the genset is mounted on the end of the refrigerated container, directly above the freezer unit.
Reefer containers can be used as isothermal equipment that is capable of maintaining the pre-cooled temperature for a certain period of time. ThermoKing diesel generators, in turn, allow the reefer container to be used precisely as a refrigerator, enabling temperature adjustments during the trip when needed. Without clip-on diesel generators, no reefer container would be able to embark on a long journey.
Many transported goods are highly sensitive to even slight temperature fluctuations, which is why, in most cases, the genset operates without interruption. ThermoKing diesel generator manufacturers have built in a very large safety margin so that the gensets can withstand any load in any weather conditions.
The company Global Container Service offers you the opportunity to purchase ThermoKing clip-on diesel generators that have undergone full pre-sale maintenance, customs clearance, and come with a complete set of documents. There is also an option to rent gensets, which allows you to avoid spending a large amount of money on purchasing the equipment. Our clip-on diesel generators can be filled with a specified amount of fuel at the customer’s request, depending on the duration of the trip.
Throughout the entire trip, our diesel specialists — mechanics — can answer any questions that may arise and provide assistance in case of unforeseen situations.
