It is constructed from heavy-duty steel and was engineered for maximum strength and durability. Testing shows that less than 0.25-inch deformation will occur when a 68,000-pound force is applied to the frame, the company said.
It is designed to minimize damage from frontal and side impacts and engineered for convenience. The package fits all new-look SB Thermo King units, and mounts directly to the SB unit — not the front trailer wall — to maintain trailer integrity on impact, the company said.
It is available as a kit with several preassembled sections and can be installed without removing the reefer unit from the trailer, the company said. The design allows all doors to be opened without removing the cage for full access and serviceability, and the package is transferable from one unit to another.
