From catering companies and restaurants seeking a refrigerated
trailer solution, to farmers that need to transport produce - meat,
dairy, and other perishables - the demand in North America for
an efficient 110V, commercial-grade, yet affordable solution to
refrigerated transport has not been addressed until now.
Refrigerated transport in North America has typically meant
large and expensive ‘reefers’ running diesel-powered refrigeration
units on trucks and semi-trailers. These solutions work well
but they are not for everyone. The small business owner, the
hunter, the beverage reseller, fisherman and many others simply
cannot afford, nor do they need or want such over-dimensioned
refrigerated transport solutions.
After careful consideration of the needs of the market and the
NATDA members, Polar King is launching Polar King Mobile
(PKM) a new business unit committed to providing world-class
small refrigerated trailers from 8 feet in length to 16 feet.
“We feel that nothing like this has been available in North
America – Polar King Mobile is committed to proving a quality
product, a business tool, a productive asset that will pay for itself
many times over. In other words, all effort is being made to
develop a solution that is affordable and workable for all Polar
King Mobile publics,” states Christian Aitken, Polar King Mobile
Executive Vice President.
“This is truly a new business opportunity for NATDA members
with fresh revenue streams: Rent, Lease or Sell Refrigerated
Trailers,” added Aitken.
Polar King Mobile trailers are designed and engineered specifically
for outdoor use. Furthermore, Polar King’s 100% seamless
fiberglass design provides a continuous surface that keeps the
insulated structure completely intact: free of moisture damage
and bacteria formation. Plus, all the interior corners are rounded
to further ensure a sanitary environment. The NSF approved
