Grocery Trailers & Truck Bodies
Refrigerated Grocery Trailers & Truck Bodies
PRECISE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. FRESHNESS DELIVERED DAILY.
Innovations for Grocery Fleets
Built for Grocery Distribution
Grocery routes are hard on equipment. Everest reefers and Alpine and Johnson truck bodies are built to take that daily wear, so fresh and frozen loads arrive the way they left the warehouse.
ENGINEERED TO TAKE THE IMPACT
Grocery routes mean constant dock contact. Our trailers feature a reinforced rear frame that absorbs 90% more dock impact energy than competitors, a wood-free floor system for greater long-term durability, and premium lining and scuff band options to safeguard interiors from forklift damage.
EXCLUSIVE SAFETY GRIP
High-frequency grocery stops mean drivers and dock crews are in and out constantly, and every wet floor or metal ramp is a liability risk.
Exclusive to Great Dane, SLIPNOT® creates lasting high-friction zones at Everest and Alpine’s rollup and side door entry points, reducing slip-and-fall risk on the high-frequency stops grocery routes demand, and cutting the cost of constantly replacing friction tape.
RUGGED, RELIABLE, READY
Our innovative wood-free floor system features composite sills and furring that replace traditional wood supports, helping eliminate rot and moisture absorption for a stronger, longer-lasting trailer that maintains its thermal performance.
Inside, our exclusive PunctureGuard liner comes standard for impact and moisture protection, while the exterior is shielded by our Ultra Road Shield aluminum side skin, engineered with a dual-coat acrylic paint system to resist corrosion, weathering, and metal marking.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL THAT HOLDS
Everest gives you three independently controlled compartments plus ambient capability, so fresh, frozen, and dry grocery goods can ride together without one compromising the others. Everest and Alpine’s Strata™ sidewall layers PunctureGuard with Microban® protection standard, backed by ClimaCore™ insulation and Ultra Road Shield™ exterior protection to hold consistent temperature and reduce the load on your reefer unit.
ThermoGuard™ interior liner is available to upgrade thermal performance even further for your most temperature-sensitive foodservice loads.
Protection for cleaner environment
Produce leaks, dairy spills, and meat drips don’t stay contained, and they don’t smell great after a few hundred miles.
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 for a cleaner, fresher interiors.
DATA THAT DELIVERS
Everest comes factory-equipped with FleetPulse® Track for real-time location tracking, plus a seamless upgrade to FleetPulse® Pro for ABS fault alerts and temperature monitoring — boosting uptime, efficiency, and ROI on every grocery route.
“There are a lot of the little special features on Great Dane trailers that make them our number one choice for our business.
We’ve tried several other brands, but Great Dane trailers fit our business model.”
