The refrigerated trailer industry has come a long way, and we were there at the beginning of its evolution. In the 1940s, as more families wanted fresh produce on their dinner tables, we met the growing demand by engineering the first factory-finished refrigerated trailer using a gas engine and blower system to circulate air over blocks of ice. This groundbreaking innovation transformed the industry, allowing thousands of Americans to enjoy fresher food.
Today, we continue to lead the way, setting new standards for durability, safety, and performance with our Everest reefer line.
The Past Meets the Future
At this year’s Technology and Maintenance Council annual meeting held March 10-13, visitors to our Booth #1247 will have a unique opportunity to experience a 1953 vintage Great Dane refrigerated trailer. Our display will provide a glimpse into how we revolutionized refrigerated transportation more than 70 years ago.
Transforming Refrigerated Transportation
While we’re proud of our storied history, we’re equally excited about the innovations we’re delivering today. Read on to discover how our advanced refrigerated trailers offer advanced features to solve our customer’s daily challenges.
Durability You Can Count On
Our refrigerated trailers are built with lightweight, wood-free composite materials, eliminating rot and moisture absorption. Everest trailers also feature Ultra Road Shield™ technology, offering advanced protection against environmental elements and corrosion. These features result in less maintenance, a longer lifespan, and a higher payload capacity.
Superior Thermal Performance
Our refrigerated trailers, featuring ClimaCore™ HFO insulation, deliver outstanding thermal performance while having a near-zero impact on global warming.
And our industry-leading ThermoGuard® liners and modular panel foaming process ensure consistent temperatures throughout your deliveries. This means your products arrive at their destination at the perfect temperature.
Enhanced Safety
Our innovative approach also means we don’t compromise on safety. Our exclusive partnership with SLIPNOT® safety grip floor system minimizes slips and falls, creating high-friction zones that keep your drivers safe during loading and unloading. Paired with our award-winning Rear Impact Guard and brighter LED strip lighting, our trailers are optimized for accident prevention and operational efficiency.
Advanced Cleanliness
Our reefers are equipped with linings infused with Microban® antimicrobial technology that’s scientifically proven to reduce bacteria by 99.9%. This built-in protection keeps trailers clean, reduces odors, and ensures a safer environment for your cargo.
Flexible Design to Perfectly Meet Your Needs
Everest trailers are built with versatility in mind. From multi-temp zones for keeping various products at ideal temperatures to customized side door placements, we can custom build your Everest reefer and transform your challenges into triumphs.
