Reefer Truck Maintenance

Refrigerated trucks, often called reefers, have revolutionized the transportation of perishable goods. However, a malfunctioning refrigeration system can all but destroy a valuable shipment. That’s why keeping your reefer truck maintained is so important. Use this guide from DTI Trucks to make sure that your reefer truck stays in optimal condition.

Fueling Up

Since the refrigeration system on most reefer trucks is powered by fuel from the truck’s gas tank, any problems with the truck’s fuel system will also affect the refrigeration system. Inspect the refrigeration system whenever the fuel system gets checked.

Replace the Parts When Required 

One easy way to ensure that your reefer truck lasts as long as possible is by simply swapping out the parts as needed. For example, the belts and hoses on your reefer truck need to be replaced at least every 1,500 hours of operation to reduce the chances that something will fail mid-trip. 

Pre-Trip Inspection

Conducting a pre-trip inspection before each time you use your reefer truck can help you detect potential problems before they occur. Be sure to take a look at the engine, tire pressure, truck body, lights, belts, and hoses. Don’t forget to check the compressor for leaks and run the temperature control panel through its entire cycle just to make sure that everything is 100% functional.
