Written by Christian Aitken of Polar King 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 22 NATDA Magazine www.natda.org
