Revamped FlexAir Duct Maximizes Space Usage

Thermo King Corp's newly redeveloped FlexAir duct system features a collapsible transition section, allowing drivers to use cube space fully when loading a trailer for backhauls.

Like other duct systems, the FlexAir duct system mounts to the ceiling of a trailer. However, with the new collapsible transition section, space from the ceiling is reduced to 3.5". Not only do drivers no longer need to give up cargo space on backhauls, but loading front pallets manually to avoid duct system damage also has been eliminated.

The FlexAir transition section is made of the same material as the rest of the air transition duct: a high-density polyethylene material approved by the Food and Drug Administration for contact with food products. Designed for Thermo King's SB-200 and SB-300 trailer refrigeration units, it mates with the FlexAir bulkhead. For more information, contact Thermo King, 314 W 90th St, Minneapolis MN 55420-3693.
