Polar King Mobile (PKM) recently introduced its 2022 line of refrigerated trailers to its nationwide dealer network.
PKM again will deliver three compact all-electric models it says provide a temperature range of zero degrees Fahrenheit to 50 degrees F, and require only 110 volts and 15 amps. The company also made modifications to its PKM68 trailer (6-foot-by-8-foot) to bring it more in line with the larger PKM612 (6-foot-by-12-foot) and PKM616 (6-foot-by-16-foot) units.
“Most of our product updates are the result of extensive market research data obtained by communicating with our dealer network,” said Christian Aitken, PKM executive vice president. “Our 2022 models are rolling down the production line with added features that our dealers have requested, which ultimately drives more customer satisfaction.”
The PKM68 model for 2022 now boasts a heavier-duty axle, increasing weight capacity from 3,500 pounds to 6,000 pounds, while boosting payload from 1,500 pounds to 3,000 pounds. The company also added dual e-tracks to the inside of the trailer.
All three models now offer 54-inch reinforced doors, 4-inch walls, pallet duty floor, interior antimicrobial gel coating, and dual e-track ready walls. The actual cooling of the trailers is achieved using a GOVI arktik 2000US series refrigeration unit. According to the company, validation testing shows that all three trailers hold at Zero degrees F (minus-18 degrees Celsius) in 95-degree ambient temperatures.
“Our refrigerated trailers are a perfect solution for athletic events, cold rooms, commercial beer coolers, emergencies, and country fairs,” Aitken said. “They are also used extensively for government, grand openings, hospitals, hunting, K-12 and post-secondary schools, mortuary, new construction sites, remodel and replace, rental, restaurants, and more.”
PKM refrigerated trailers are designed specifically for outdoor and over-the-road use. Polar King’s 100% seamless fiberglass design provides a continuous surface with rounded insulated corners to promote a sanitary environment. The durable, NSF-approved non-slip flooring system reduces the risk of slips and falls, the company said. Since each unit is seamless, it can be cleaned quickly with a hose, without risk of damage to the insulation.
PKM does not sell direct to the public. “We are creating a national network of value-added resellers by recruiting the best trailer distributors from the North American Trailer Dealers Association,” Aitken said. “A national network of experienced and reliable dealers will provide the kind of fast, professional and knowledgeable service that our customers want.”
