Keep It Cool grows fleet

Bradford, UK: Keep It Cool has added three new Daf rigids with Gray & Adams bodies and cooled with Carrier Transicold Supra 850 multi-temperature fridges.

The new trucks, one 18-tonne rand two 12-tonners are new additions to Keep It Cool’s 18-vehicle temperature-controlled fleet, which includes a mix of 3.5-tonne vans to 26-tonne rigids. All but one now Carrier-cooled.

“We have been specifying different Carrier products for more than eight years,” said Nikki Redhead, Founder, Keep It Cool.

“They have always been incredibly reliable, easy to operate and driver-friendly – they simply do exactly what we need them to, year-round. On top of the products themselves, what sets Carrier apart is its fantastic service support network.

“If one of our units ever requires any maintenance, we know we can count on a quick and efficient turnaround, meaning we get our vehicle back on the road with minimal impact to the business.”

“Our business is rapidly expanding so we’ve turned to Carrier to support that growth. These new vehicles were initially bought to replace older trucks, but customer demand required us to take them on as additional assets.

“This has meant Carrier has had to play an increasingly vital role, both with the new vehicles and for helping us keep our older fridge units in service and running smoothly,” Redhead said.

The trucks are expected to remain in operation up to seven years. The fridges are covered by Carrier Transicold’s BluEdge fixed cost maintenance package and access to the company’s emergency call out service.
