Freighter Group (formerly MaxiTRANS), has today announced the release of its new refrigerated trailer product, named Freez-R. A high performing refrigerated trailer solution, Freez-R has been expertly designed to deliver industry leading thermal performance, with unmatched reliability delivered through local design and a national dealer support network.
Freighter Group hosted an event in Ballarat this week that saw an overwhelming attendance from customers, suppliers and industry representatives, where the company showcased its manufacturing facility and launched its new Freighter Freez-R trailer product at an informative and interactive showcase.
“We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for our business with the release of Freez-R to the Australian market,” said Greg L’Estrange Freighter Group Executive Chairman.
“Through our partnership with Schmitz Cargobull, collaboration with customers and our industry experience, we have been able to design and create a product with the exacting needs for the Australian market.”
Freez-R has been expertly designed to deliver industry leading thermal performance, capable of achieving minus 30 degrees Celsius, ideal for transporting frozen goods and other temperature sensitive freight. The body is constructed from Ferroplast® technology, which when combined with the locally manufactured Freighter chassis design and the national back up support through Freighter Group, delivers unmatched thermal performance and reliability.
At the Freez-R product showcase event held in Ballarat, attendees were presented with a complete B-Double combination proudly on display, with the ability for customers to explore the product up close. There were also many interactive discussion areas for customers to talk with the company’s in-house product experts, as well as talk directly with representatives from Schmitz Cargobull.
“We are overwhelmed and delighted with the response from our customers at the Freez-R product showcase event. It was great to walk them through our new product and provide them with a firsthand insight into what makes the product achieve its industry leading thermal capabilities,” said Greg.
One of the key discussion areas was around Telematics, with TrailerConnect® Pro Telematics provided as standard on all Freighter Freez-R products.
“The Freez-R is Freighter Group’s first trailer offering to come with TrailerConnect® Pro telematics as standard,” said Greg. Adding that this further showcases our move into a modern, digital service offer to customers.
“It was great to see so many of our customers interested in the technology which has the most comprehensive trailer information available from any telematics provider in Australia. It delivers data from the fridge plant, as well as internal temperature control and EBS systems, allowing drivers and fleet operators to access real time information that assists with freight management, predicative maintenance and servicing.”
One of the major benefits of the Freighter Freez-R product is the support provided by our national dealer and service support network, with the Freighter Group service network expertly trained to service and repair Ferroplast® bodies.
“Freighter Group is committed to delivering total peace of mind for customers when it comes to purchasing any of its products, which is demonstrated by the total commitment to supporting customers for the life of the product.”
“This means greater access to a mobile support network, the expansion of service centres in conveniently located areas and comfort in knowing when accidents occur or when maintenance is required, we are there ready to help manage their uptime.”
“We are thrilled with the official launch of the Freighter Freez-R and look forward with great excitement to see the product cement itself as a key part of the Australian trailer market,” said Greg.
