Schmitz  Cargobull, Germany’s largest trailer manufacturer, introduced two new twists  for its  S.KO COOL refrigerated  trailers—a prototype refrigeration unit that the company developed itself, and  a new double-decking system.

  For the first time, Schmitz Cargobull is introducing a  prototype of a self-developed refrigeration unit, at the IAA 2012. The  refrigeration unit is also fitted with the new TCI (TrailerConnect Interface),  which replaces the temperature recorder in use to date. The system unit reports  all the relevant information about the trailer to the haulier or also directly  to the loading personnel or recipient. The idea behind the new design is to  completely integrate all of the system-relevant components in the vehicle for  temperature-controlled transport of refrigerated cargo. With this  system-optimised refrigeration unit, Schmitz Cargobull says it has become the  first trailer manufacturer to guarantee complete responsibility for the  transport component of the cooling chain. 

  Another option for the Schmitz reefer trailer is its  new wall-integrated, flush-fit double decker loading system.  With it, the trailer can transport 66 Euro  pallets.   The extruded beams have  been optimised in both shape and function to make the entire system lighter,  with an identical load bearing capacity of 1,000 kg per double decker beam.  The beams can be moved easily and diagonally  into the correct position. A height marker for the beam position guides the  placement of each beam. An additional mobile, horizontal load securing rail may  be used for fastening the beams and the Euro pallets flexibly on the second  level. When not in use, the beams may be pushed right under the roof.
