TRAILER Refrigeration Units
The list below includes just some of the many features that make Carrier trailer units the world standard. Carrier Transicold innovative technology provides reliable and sustainable products that are designed to meet the needs of every customer application.
Features and Benefits:
- E-Drive™ technology. Proven and refined over a decade, Carrier Transicold’s all-electric trailer refrigeration technology means refrigeration and heating operations are 100 percent electric, powered over the road by an onboard generator driven by the unit’s diesel engine.
- Enhanced performance. The latest generation Vector™ TRUs utilize ecoFORWARD™ technologies to offer significantly reduced weight, improved fuel economy, and greater refrigeration capacity than our prior hybrid trailer refrigeration units.
- Advanced compressor design. For improved performance, the latest Vector refrigeration systems use a fully sealed electric scroll compressor with 70 percent fewer moving parts and weighing 200 pounds less than a traditional reciprocating compressor.
- Reduced maintenance cost. The Vector TRU eliminates many maintenance items found in conventional mechanical refrigeration systems, such as alternators, drive belts, idlers, vibrasorbers, compressor shaft seals, and clutches.
- Compliance plus. The unit provides compliance with 2013 EPA Tier 4 emissions regulations, while also improving operational efficiencies and performance.
- Intelligent operation. Vector units have the unique ability to turn individual components on when they’re needed, and off when they’re not.
- Electric standby. Standard with Vector units, this feature cuts fuel consumption, engine noise, and emissions, while boosting operational savings.

Shipping and Delivery at PullCargoTrailers.com
Pull Cargo Trailers offers reliable, flexible shipping and delivery options tailored to the unique requirements of large equipment like enclosed cargo trailers, utility trailers, propane tanks, and refrigerated units. Customers can choose home/business delivery, terminal pickup, or self-haul arrangements, with transparent pricing and clear expectations for every step.
Delivery Methods
Trailers and large equipment ship differently than small parcels due to size and weight. Common methods include:
Tilt-Bed Delivery (Most Popular)
Specialized tilt-bed trailers deliver directly to your site. The driver tilts the bed, allowing the trailer to slide safely to the ground—no crane or forklift needed. Ideal for most residential, commercial, and construction sites.
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.

We deliver throughout [your region, e.g., "mainland UK" or "contiguous US"], with:
