REFRIGERATED TRAILERS

Yes, our engineers will listen to your challenges and provide customized solutions to best meet your needs. Our customizations include, but are not limited to:   

• Custom Roll-Up and Side Door Placement Options: Place roll-up or swing-style rear and side doors exactly where your operations need them, improving access and streamlining multi-stop deliveries.
• Liftgates and Walk Ramps: Choose from a variety of liftgate types or integrated walk ramps to match your loading dock setup or enhance curbside delivery efficiency.
• Multiple Scuffband Material and Height Options: Protect trailer interiors with customizable scuffbands available in aluminum, steel, or composite materials — at various heights to suit your cargo and loading style.
• Multi-Temp Zones: Create up to three temperature-controlled zones plus an ambient section to haul frozen, fresh, and dry goods in the same load — ideal for grocery, foodservice, and mixed-load hauls.
• Aerodynamic Options: Add side skirts, fairings, and other aerodynamic devices to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency across long hauls.
• Reefer Telematics Monitoring: Integrated systems enable real-time tracking of trailer location, temperature zones, reefer status, and door events — keeping your cargo and operations under control.
• Interior Cargo Cameras: Monitor cargo condition remotely and visually verify load status with integrated interior cameras — improving security and reducing claims.
• Exterior Cameras: Enhance visibility and safety with rear-view cameras to aid drivers during backing, lane changes, and tight maneuvers.

Yes, FleetPulseGO Track asset tracking is standard on all Great Dane refrigerated, dry, and flatbed trailers. FleetPulse upgrade options are available that can provide additional information such as ABS fault codes, TIS monitoring, interior camera options, mileage data, geofences, automated yard checks, tethered status, heading, and speed, as well as proprietary trailer specifications and parts information. For refrigerated solutions, reefer integrations are also available.  

Great Dane trailers offer several key features that help food service and grocery fleets comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). These features are designed to ensure proper temperature control, secure storage, and enhanced sanitation, which are critical for meeting FSMA requirements. Some of the key features include:  

• Quality Door Seals and Gaskets: The trailers feature high-quality door seals and gaskets that prevent temperature fluctuations and air infiltration, helping maintain a stable environment inside the trailer, which is crucial for perishable goods.  
• Thermal Efficiency: Great Dane trailers are built with high-quality insulation, which helps maintain the proper temperature inside the trailer. This is essential for preserving the integrity of food products and complying with FSMA regulations related to temperature control during transport.  
• Sanitation-Friendly Materials: The interiors of Great Dane trailers often feature smooth, easy-to-clean liners that are infused with Microban to minimize bacteria buildup and promote cleanliness, which is a key aspect of FSMA compliance. Cleanliness is essential to prevent contamination of food products during transport.  
• Track and Traceability Features: Great Dane trailers can be built with tracking systems that allow fleets to monitor and record the temperature, location, and condition of the cargo in real time. This data is valuable for demonstrating FSMA compliance and ensuring that food safety standards are maintained throughout the transportation process.
