How Often Should I Have My Reefer Inspected?
Reefer units should be inspected every 1,000 to 1,500 hours of operation or at least twice a year, depending on usage. Regular inspections ensure critical components like compressors, belts, filters, and refrigerant levels are functioning correctly, preventing costly breakdowns during crucial hauls.
Do You Offer Mobile Repairs as Well?
Yes! We provide both mobile repair services and in-shop repairs at our Red Oak location. Whether you’re stuck roadside or prefer to bring your trailer to our fully equipped shop, we’re here to help.
What Are the Signs of Reefer Failure?
Common signs include temperature fluctuations, unusual noises, refrigerant leaks, and frequent shutdowns. If your reefer struggles to maintain set temperatures or displays warning codes, it’s time to schedule a repair to avoid spoilage or equipment damage.
Can I Drive My Trailer With a Bent Axle?
Driving with a bent axle can compromise trailer alignment, increase tire wear, and pose serious safety risks. We strongly recommend stopping operations and seeking immediate repairs to prevent further damage and ensure safe driving.
Why Is Coolant System Maintenance Important in Texas?
The Texas heat can strain your reefer unit, leading to overheating and reduced efficiency. Regular maintenance helps manage temperature control, extends compressor life, and ensures reliable performance in high temperatures.
When Should I Seek Out Brake Repairs?
Signs of brake issues include squealing noises, reduced stopping power, uneven wear on brake pads, or visible cracks on brake drums. Address these immediately to maintain safety and prevent more extensive damage.
