Freighter Group (formerly MaxiTRANS), has announced the release of its new refrigerated trailer product – the appropriately named Freez-R.
The Freeze-R is a high-performing refrigerated trailer solution which has been expertly designed to deliver industry leading thermal performance, delivered through local design and a national dealer support network.
Freighter Group hosted an event in Ballarat late last year that saw an overwhelming attendance from customers, suppliers and industry representatives, where the company showcased its manufacturing facility and launched its new Freighter Freez-R trailer product at an informative and interactive showcase.
“We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for our business with the release of Freez-R to the Australian market,” said Freighter Group Executive Chairman, Greg L’Estrange.
“Through our partnership with Schmitz Cargobull, collaboration with customers and our industry experience, we have been able to design and create a product with the exacting needs for the Australian market.”
Freez-R has been designed to deliver industry-leading thermal performance, capable of achieving -30 degrees Celsius, ideal for transporting frozen goods and other temperature-sensitive freight.
Freighter Group says the body is constructed from Ferroplast technology which, when combined with the locally manufactured Freighter chassis design and the national back-up support through Freighter Group, delivers unmatched thermal performance and reliability.
At the Freez-R product showcase event, attendees were presented with a B-double combination on display where customers could explore the product up close. There were also many interactive discussion areas for customers to talk with the company’s in-house product experts, as well as talk directly with representatives from Schmitz Cargobull.
“We are overwhelmed and delighted with the response from our customers at the Freez-R product showcase event,” said Greg.
“It was great to walk them through our new product and provide them with a first-hand insight into what makes the product achieve its industry leading thermal capabilities,” said Mr L’Estrange.
One of the key discussion areas was around Telematics, with TrailerConnect Pro Telematics provided as standard on all Freighter Freez-R products.
“The Freez-R is Freighter Group’s first trailer offering to come with TrailerConnect Pro telematics as standard,” said Mr L’Estrange.
“Adding that this further showcases the company’s move into a modern, digital service offer to customers.
“It was great to see so many of our customers interested in the technology which has the most comprehensive trailer information available from any telematics provider in Australia.
“It delivers data from the fridge plant, as well as internal temperature control and EBS systems, allowing drivers and fleet operators to access real time information that assists with freight management, predicative maintenance and servicing.
“We are thrilled with the official launch of the Freighter Freez-R and look forward with great excitement to see the product cement itself as a key part of the Australian trailer market,” he concluded.
