Bolton, UK: Michael Ward (MWL) now has Frigoblock importer status and is a direct seller of the electric fleet refrigeration systems.
MWL’s elevated status is the culmination of a 30-year partnership with Frigoblock. MWL says orddeds ae flourishing and it is recruiting refrigerated transport engineers to meet demand for fitting, servicing and maintenance.
The latest order include the supply and fit 71 Frigoblock units to delivery vehicles for a pub chain, hot on the heels of an order to supply and fit up to 25 units for a food distributor.
Graham Galloway, managing director, pictured above, says: “The biggest difference is we now actually import Frigoblock systems, and all its associated products, and sell them directly to the customer.”
Frigoblock as part of the Thermo King and a Trane company sells through dealers, of which MWL is one.
“Our capabilities with Frigoblock go back more than 30 years, we have a lot of experience and I want to emphasise the product has developed because we do get feedback occasionally that it’s been around a long time and is old technology,” Galloway says.
“However, the technology has been developed significantly, particularly with the arrival of Frigoblock inverter technology which makes it an extremely efficient system. It can be powered by a full battery electric vehicle; it can be powered through an alternator that takes its power off the vehicle engine.
“These are all important things to stress, as well as Frigoblock being relatively light compared to other systems and the fact we offer a three-year warranty, which is unrivalled in the industry. Our overarching target is to convert those running diesel powered fridges to electric fridges.”
