Thermo King has announced the launch of a new line of temperature control units for trailers that will help fleets reduce fuel and operating costs, according to the company.

The SB-110+, SB-210+ and SB-310+ temperature control units come standard with OptiSet Plus, which makes selecting optimum unit settings simple for drivers, Thermo King said. According to the company, OptiSet Plus improves cargo protection and quality, reduces shipper and driver errors, delivers maximum shelf life for fresh commodities and contains a library of over 500 temperature-sensitive commodity profiles.

“The SB+ Series was developed as a direct response to customers’ desire for units that are easier to operate, that reduce the risk of errors and that provide lower operating costs by reducing fuel consumption,” says Jerry Duppler, trailer product manager for Thermo King. “OptiSet Plus is a powerful tool that provides customers with the assurance that units are operating at optimum efficiency for the specific cargo in each load.”
