TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED REEFER TRAILERS REQUIRE TWO FUEL SOURCES. THERMAL GUARD METAL CAN HELP!

Reefer trucks are temperature-controlled trucks for transporting climate-controlled or perishable goods. Unlike other trucks, reefer trucks have a separate secondary fuel tank to run the trailer’s refrigeration.

Reefer trailers use separate engines and insulation to control the trailer’s internal temperature. Drivers are required to fill both the truck’s main fuel tank and the reefer trailer’s secondary fuel tank.

Reefer trucks burn around 0.75-1.25 gallons of fuel per hour, depending on the model and driving conditions.

As fuel costs continue to rise, Armus is can provide major cost savings with Thermal Guard Metal, a liquid applied membrane that possesses thermal reflective properties, while also protecting the trailer from water damage, future rust and corrosion.

Post application, Thermal Guard Metal showed a 65% fuel savings on our reefer trailer!

With our partners at CleanWell Services, Armus applied Thermal Guard Metal to the roof of a reefer trailer.Post-application, the Thermal Guard Metal-coated reefer trailer showed a 65% reduction in reefer fuel, from 1.09 gal/hr to 0.38 gal/hr!At Armus, sustainability and cost savings are part of our core values that we share with our customers.
