The Cargobull reefer unit optimizes airflow distribution to the front, middle, and rear of the Utility 3000R® refrigerated trailer. Its air chute configuration meets or exceeds the most stringent air chute requirements for shippers across North America, ensuring consistent and efficient temperature control throughout the trailer for maximum cargo protection.
Featuring three unequal-length air chutes, the Cargobull airflow system continues to set the benchmark for airflow management. The longest chute delivers air to within the final 5 feet (1.52 meters) of the trailer, promoting enhanced temperature uniformity and improved load protection from front to rear.
