PHARMACEUTICAL and healthcare distributor Trans-Bridge Freight Services has taken delivery of its first Carrier Transicold Vector HE19 MT (multi-temperature) unit, heralding the start of a new transport era.
A long-standing Carrier Transicold customer, Trans-Bridge Freight Services operates 11 temperature-controlled trailers across its two depots in Manchester and Antrim, nine of which are Carrier cooled. The new unit is mounted to a new Gray & Adams 13.6m trailer.
“Our introduction to Carrier came when we bought some second-hand trailers mounted with Vector 1850s,” said Brian Anderton, director at Trans-Bridge Freight Services. “We were suitably impressed with their performance and reliability, so it has been an easy decision to specify Carrier to replace them.”
The Vector HE19 MT unit features Carrier Transicold’s E-Drive all-electric technology combined with a new multi-speed engine design that reduces fuel consumption. The system’s fully hermetic scroll compressor and economiser also means the Vector HE19 unit delivers a significant increase in refrigeration capacity during pull-down, while reducing the chance of refrigerant and CO2 escape.
