INNOVATIONS FOR BEVERAGE FLEETS
DEPOT TO DELIVERY
From dry vans to refrigerated trailers and truck bodies, our innovative features help protect your cargo and driver, while reducing downtime.
Built for Heavy Beverage Loads
Bottled water, soda, kegs, and multipacks add up fast. Champion, Everest, Alpine, and Sahara all offer heavy-duty floor options built to handle dense, concentrated beverage loads.
Built for Rear-Impact Strength
Rear frames take the brunt of daily dock impact. Champion and Sahara’s EnduroGuard™ rear frame keeps doors aligned through years of dock impact, while Everest and Alpine’s shared stainless steel rear frame construction is built to withstand the same repeated impact.
When it comes to collision protection, RIG30 is standard on Champion and Everest trailers, exceeding U.S. and Canadian safety standards.
Protection for Cleaner Environment
Beverage routes mean constant spills and frequent wash-downs. Everest and Alpine’s interior liners are infused with Microban® antimicrobial protection that never washes away, continuously fighting the odor-causing bacteria those spills leave behind — cleaner, fresher interiors, load after load.
Visibility Into Every Trailer
Everest and Champion come factory-equipped with FleetPulse® Track for location tracking, plus seamless upgrades to smart features like ABS fault code alerts, temperature monitoring and more to boost uptime, efficiency, and ROI.
Exclusive Safety Grip
Exclusive to Great Dane, SLIPNOT® creates lasting high-friction zones at Everest and Alpine’s rollup and side door entry points, reducing slide-and-fall risks and cutting the cost of constantly replacing friction tape.
Truck Body Uptime Starts at the Mount
Sahara and Alpine’s heavy-duty AnchorPoint mounting system provides secure mounting with reduced maintenance, eliminating U-bolts, filler strip compression, rot, and kick-out entirely. Less time retorquing means more days on the beverage route and fewer trips into the shop.
Temperature Control That Holds
Everest and Alpine’s Strata™ sidewall system layers PunctureGuard™ liners with Microban® protection standard, backed by ClimaCore™ insulation and Ultra Road Shield™ exterior protection to help maintain consistent temperature and reduce demand on the cooling unit.
ThermoGuard™ is available to upgrade thermal performance even further for the most temperature-sensitive loads.
