Glasgow, Scotland: Hultsteins has appointed Glasgow-based refrigeration service provider Transcool Scotland as a service agent.
Transcool will install, maintain and service Hultsteins’ hydraulic fridges and on-board electric generators in Scotland and the border regions of England.
Transcool managing director, Robert Murray said: “Hultsteins’ ‘diesel-free’ systems are widely used, since the 1960s, and popular in many northern European countries and we are pleased to see they are now arriving on our shores!”
Hultsteins offer two refrigeration products aimed at enabling operators to save carbon and fuel by providing an alternative to traditional, diesel-powered fridges.
Ecofridge hydraulic and electric single and multi-temperature units for rigid truck applications and Ecogen hydraulic systems which, powered by the tractor’s PTO, drive any conventional fridge system and cut out the requirement for the diesel engine while on the road.
Ecogen generates the 400-volt power needed to run a TRU and is a bolt-on, bolt-off solution with a life expectancy of over 10 years. It comes in two models – the Ecogen Lowline is sited between the axles on rigid-bodied trucks and two-axle tractors, while the Ecogen Slimline fits behind the cab and suits gas-powered and 6×2 tractors where chassis space is at more of a premium.
Graham Usher, managing director, UK and Ireland, Hultsteins, said: :The appointment of Transcool is a further decisive step towards establishing a solid aftermarket structure for Hultsteins’ customers throughout the UK and Ireland. I am pleased to say that the Transcool team will shortly be installing three Ecogen systems for Scottish operator and we look forward to reporting on their progress soon.”
