“We’ve been a marine Thermo King Service Center for several years now and welcome the opportunity to broaden our offering with the Genset units,” said Riaz Kajee, General Manager (Operations) of Grindrod Intermodal.

Loaded refrigerated containers transportation
During land transportation of loaded refrigerated containers, it is recommended to use Gensets to power the container for any journey over four hours. Even a one degree Celsius increase in temperature can lead to up to four days of reduced shelf life and increase the rate of food waste significantly.
Thermo King Gensets can easily be used as mobile power management solutions beyond marine or transport refrigeration applications and can serve as a reliable main or supplementary power source.
