Prime To Outfit Trailers With Innovative Thermoking Magnum Refrigeration Units

Prime Inc., a leading international refrigerated and flatbed truckload carrier based in Springfield, Missouri, announces that it will be adding the quiet-running and highly-efficient ThermoKing Magnum Whisper Edition refrigeration units to its fleet in June 1999.

This innovative trailer refrigeration unit features a simple, yet very efficient compressor design which can generate a cooling capacity of 30,000 Btu/hr at -20 degrees F with a 100 degree F ambient temperature. That calculates to 20% more capacity for deep frozen cargo than is available from any other system in the industry. In addition, the ThermoKing Magnum Whisper Edition utilizes revolutionary Smart Set TM technology which operates on a narrow temperature band and allows cool, moist air to circulate throughout the entire cargo area which is ideal for produce shipments.

Prime relies heavily on such reliable advanced technology in the international transport of millions of tons of temperature sensitive freight which is hauled by its Refrigerated Division annually.

Evaluating and implementing new technologies as they emerge has enabled Prime to continually enhance its reputation as an industry leader in the safe, cost-effective transport of temperature sensitive goods. Prime is committed to seeking innovative solutions to the modern demands and requirements of shippers nationwide.
