Product details

Design

Maintenance-free metal construction with vacuum insulation panels. Ergonomic handles on the front, smooth-operating door latches, and a rugged interior lining. Integrated slide rails at varying heights for shelves (accessories). 
Available with casters or runners.

Finish: Organic coating to protect against corrosion.

Casters: 2 fixed and 2 swivel casters.

Recyclable: At the end of the product life cycle, material-separated dismantling enables a clean and efficient recycling process, returning the individual materials to their respective material cycles.

Comparison of Thermo Trolley without batteries vs. conventional container

Test conditions:

  • Constant ambient temperature: +5°C
  • Threshold temperature: -18 °C
  • Product load: 150 kg (330 lbs) of frozen products

 

Results: Thanks to the vacuum insulation, food temperatures in the Thermo Trolley can be held constant for up to 12 hours without cold packs – whether chilled or frozen.

Comparison of Thermo Trolley with two specialized batteries vs. conventional container with equivalent number of comparable batteries

Test conditions:

  • Constant ambient temperature: +20 °C
  • Threshold temperature: -18 °C
  • Product load: 150 kg (330 lbs) of frozen products

 

Results: With just two specialized batteries, the temperature retention time of the Thermo Trolley can be extended to up to 24 hours – for both frozen and chilled products. For longer transport times, the retention period can be further increased by utilizing additional specialized thermal batteries.
