Food and drink supply chain specialist Culina has ordered 83 Vector 1550 trailer refrigeration units from Carrier Transicold UK as part of its 2015 fleet investment strategy.

Carrier Transicold, which operates in the UK as Carrier Transicold UK, provides equipment for refrigerated trucks, trailers and containers, and is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp.

The new Carrier Transicold units are being mounted on to a mix of Montracon and Gray & Adams trailers, including 73 standard length 13.6 metre trailers and 10 14.6m Longer Semi-Trailers (LSTs).

The LSTs will be part of the UK Department for Transport’s (DfT) trial of longer articulated goods vehicles, allowing Culina to increase load capacity and efficiency on selected routes.
