Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reefer?
A reefer (or "refrigeration") unit is an insulated container used primarily for hauling food products that require temperature-controlled transportation; generally speaking, this includes meat, fruits, vegetables, as well as frozen items like ice cream or other frozen meals/snacks.
The interior temperature of these trailers is typically maintained between 32°F (0°C) & 40°F (4°C); however, depending on the product being transported, some may require lower or higher temperatures than this range. Reefers are essential pieces of equipment within the food transportation industry.
What causes reefer malfunctions?
There are two primary causes of reefer malfunctions - mechanical & electronic. Mechanical issues can arise from various components such as the compressor, evaporator, condenser, or other moving parts. On the other hand, electronic problems can range from faulty wiring/connections to programming issues in the control systems.
It's important to note that most problems can be avoided by performing regular preventative maintenance and pre-trip inspections on all reefers – such as inspecting hardware/electronics or checking coolant levels every few months – so don't forget about these essential tasks if you want to keep your fleet running smoothly!
How do I tell if my refrigeration unit needs repair?
It can be challenging to tell if a unit needs repair without proper diagnostics. Common signs that your reefer may need attention include an inability to maintain appropriate temperature, slow/troublesome startup, excessive noise or vibration from the motor/compressor, or any strange odors coming from the unit's interior.
If any of these symptoms present themselves, contact Big Rig Fixer ASAP – our experienced mechanics will identify what's causing the problem & provide you with the necessary repairs to get your reefer running like new!
How do I prevent future issues with my reefers?
Preventing future problems requires proper upkeep – such as checking hardware for wear & tear and replacing worn-out components, conducting regular pre-trip inspections, and ensuring that units are functioning correctly before going out.
Additionally, ensure any repairs are performed by experienced mechanics who know what they're doing - this will help guarantee everything gets done right without any hassle later on down the road.
