Carrier makes newest reefer unit available through dealer partners

Carrier Transicold announced this week its new X4 7700 trailer refrigeration unit is now available through the company’s North America dealer network.

The announcement was made during ATA's Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting and Expo in Orlando.

“In full production at our world-class manufacturing facility in Athens, Georgia, the new premium performance X4 7700 single-temperature unit builds on the X4 platform’s decade-long reputation for high capacity and rugged, dependable service,” says Bill Maddox, senior manager of product management, Truck Trailer Americas, Carrier Transicold. “Continuing the tradition of reliable design and simply smarter engineering, the X4 7700 unit offers a 96% reduction in particulate emissions and double-digit gains in fuel efficiency compared to standard X4 models.”

According to Carrier Transicold, the new unit employs an advanced version of the smart engine used throughout Carrier Transicold’s existing trailer platforms.

The company says benefits of the new unit include:

“The X4 7700 provides more BTUs of cooling per engine RPM than competitiveunits, meaning competitive units must run harder than an X4 unit to achieve similarresults,” Maddox says.

All X4 7700 units are equipped with Carrier Transicold’s industry-leading Lynx Fleet telematics solution for remote monitoring of temperatures, location, movement andsystem operating performance. And to help maintain the charge of the battery supportingthe unit and its telematics system, Carrier Transicold now also offers its TRU-Mountsolar panel as a factory-installed option, the company says.
