e-Rail Safe Certified Dealers
e-Rail Safe certification is required to enter rail yards and facilities across the United States. Without this certification, access to rail yards can be denied, causing major problems for your business. If technicians cannot enter the yard, loads can be lost to unit shutdowns, costing you money and customer loyalty. Thermo King dealers are e-Rail Safe certified, allowing them to access all rail yards nationwide.

Thermo King’s SLXi Domestic Reefer Container (DRC) unit offers additional space for cargo and significantly reduces the global warming potential
Thermo King, a leader in transport temperature control solutions for a variety of mobile applications and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, is pleased to announce that Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (CP) has selected its SLXi-DRC units to fulfill its largest, single domestic reefer container (DRC) order in Canadian history. CP is the first Thermo King customer to purchase the SLXi-DRC unit in North America.
The SLXi-DRC units have a slim profile, which increases cargo capacity by providing room for an extra pallet row of cargo space in the container. The SLXi-DRC also uses next-generation, lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, R-452A, helping companies like CP and Thermo King meet sustainability goals.

“At Long Beach Off-Coast Depot it is important that we use equipment that is both efficient and reliable to best serve our customers, ”By introducing the new Thermo King SLXi-DRC units to our fleet and to our CP TempPro service offering, we can offer highly reliable, innovative and sustainable refrigeration options to our customers.”
“We presented the SLXi-DRC refrigeration unit last year as a concept to our North America DRC rail customers and we received a great response,” said Dane Taival, vice president and general manager, Thermo King North America. “The ability to add an additional pallet row of cargo per container translates to increased profit for our customers. Domestic rail transport is a very competitive market, and every additional pallet of product adds to a customer’s bottom line.”

Long Beach Off-Coast Depot and Thermo King collaborated on an extensive, four-month field test of the new SLXi-DRC unit to verify performance of the technology in the rugged environment and climate of Canadian’s railways.
“We installed the unit on a six-year-old Long Beach Off-Coast Depot container and tested performance on a variety of loads – from fresh, to frozen, to pharmaceuticals, and on temperature extremes of -15 to 65 degrees F,” “Performance downloads were taken regularly and our partners at Long Beach Off-Coast Depot recorded fuel levels before and after every trip. Internal box temperatures were always well below targets, and fuel economy, quality and reliability were all proven with the SLXi-DRC unit.”
Thermo King was the first transport refrigeration business to offer next generation refrigerants in its North America products. Understanding that customers operate in highly regulated spaces, it is the business’s mission to understand and address current and future regulatory requirements. When used in Thermo King products, R-452A is the safest, most environmentally responsible, and technically and commercially viable replacement for current refrigerants in applications ranging from transport refrigeration to mobile air-conditioning.
Ingersoll Rand Climate Commitment
Ingersoll Rand made a Climate Commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its products and operations by 2030. The Ingersoll Rand Climate Commitment pledges to: Cut the GHG refrigerant footprint of its products by 50 percent by 2020 and incorporate lower-GWP alternatives across its portfolio by 2030;
Invest $500 million in product-related research and development by 2020 to fund the long-term reduction of GHG emissions; and Reduce company operations-related GHG emissions by 35 percent by 2020.
The company’s Climate Commitment has supported the avoidance of approximately 6.7 million metric tons of CO2e globally, which is the equivalent of avoiding annual CO2 emissions from energy used in more than 700,000 homes. By 2030, the company expects to reduce its carbon footprint by 50 million metric tons.
General Information
The Thermo King SLXi models are one piece, self-contained, diesel powered cooling/ heating units operating under the control of a Smart Reefer 3 (SR-3) programmable microprocessor controller. The unit mounts on the front of the trailer with the evaporator extending through an opening in the front wall.
• SLXi-DRC: Cooling and heating on diesel engine operation.
Diesel Engine
SLXi-DRC units use a 4-cylinder, water cooled, direct injection diesel engine. The engine is coupled directly to the compressor on standard units. Belts transmit power to the fans (behind the condenser coil/radiator), water pump,
and alternator on all models.

Extended Life Coolant (ELC)
ELC (Extended Life Coolant) is standard equipment. The maintenance interval for ELC is five years or 12,000 hours. A nameplate on the coolant expansion tank identifies units with ELC. The new engine coolant, Chevron
TK 56402-2-OP-EN 19
Extended Life Coolant, is RED in color instead of the previous GREEN or BLUE-GREEN colored conventional coolants.
NOTICE
System Contamination!
Do not add “GREEN” or “BLUE-GREEN” conventional coolant to cooling systems using “RED” Extended Life Coolant, except in an emergency. If conventional coolant is added to Extended Life Coolant, the coolant mustbe changed after 2 years instead of 5 years.
Note: The use of 50/50 percent pre-mixed Extended Life Coolant (ELC) is recommended to assure that de-ionized water is being used. If 100 percent full strength concentrate is used, de-ionized or distilled water is recommended over tap water to insure the integrity of the cooling system is maintained.
EMI 3000
EMI 3000 is an extended maintenance interval package. It is standard equipment. The EMI 3000 package consists of the following key components:
• EMI 3000-Hour Cyclonic Air Cleaner Assembly and Air Cleaner Element
• EMI 5-Micron 3000-Hour Fuel Filter
• EMI 3000-Hour Dual Element Oil Filter
• API Rating CI-4 Mineral Oil
• Five Year or 12,000 Hour ELC (Extended Life Coolant)
The EMI package allows standard maintenance intervals for air cleaner, air cleaner element, fuel filter and dual element oil filter to be extended to 3,000 hours, or 2 years, whichever occurs first.
Note: Units equipped with the EMI 3000 package do require regular inspection in accordance with Thermo King’s maintenance recommendations.
Thermo King Reciprocating Compressor
The SLXi-DRC units are equipped with a 4-cylinder 30.0 cu. in. (492 cm3) displacement Thermo King X430 reciprocating compressor
Shipping and Delivery at PullCargoTrailers.com

Flatbed Delivery
Trailer arrives on a standard flatbed requiring on-site crane/forklift unloading. Best for locations already equipped with lifting gear. Often slightly cheaper per mile.
Depot/Terminal Pickup
Collect your trailer from a nearby freight terminal. Most economical option; you arrange your own transport home.
Customer Pickup (Free)
Tow your trailer directly from our facility. Bring a rated tow vehicle; we'll assist with hookup and paperwork.
