Описание: How to Buy the Best Reefer Trailer for Multi-Temp Operations

Interior and exterior lighting and controls are a critical element in the design of your trailer. And is something that's difficult to retrofit so you’ve got to get it right when you're designing the trailer right up front.

Interior Lighting
There has been great innovation and technological improvement in LED lighting recently to create a bright environment for your driver to work inside the trailer.

Automatic Timers and Passive Infrared Sensors
In the old strategy you would go around the nose box on the front of the trailer hit a button and the lights would come on. Then, when you were done you would hit that switch agian, to turn the lights off.

We now recommend a series of timers and passive infrared sensors for turning your lights on an off.

The Electronic Timer: The lights turn off with the electronic timer setting, or when the physical activity stops inside the trailer.
Infrared Sensor: The light will turn back on when the heated physical body is detected, and will stay on for the length of time they're programmed to stay on.

Rear Work Area Lighting
Rear exterior lighting options are available for safe loading and unloading operations

• Work area lights: work area lights can be put outside the back of the trailer or outside the side doors of the trailer.
• Reverse Lights: Some work area lights can serve the dual purpose of work, and reverse lights. Be sure to so ask your trailer salesman about wiring these rear work lights to assist your driver backing into docks at night and in difficult situations.

Rear light power can be controlled with the braking and ABS systems
• Typically with a rear liftgate you’ ll have a header light used as a work light.
• If you use a passive infrared sensor to turn on a rear work light, you must be sure the light is turned off while driving or you'll be in violation of the law.
• Wiring the rear work lights to the breaking system in the GPS system, gives your driver contol over turning off a rear passive infrared sensor light.

These are issues that you need to discuss and finalize before you build your trailer.
