Similar to Schmitz Cargobull's completely in-house ROTOS running gear, of which more than 550,000 units have been produced and fitted so far, the Schmitz Cargobull transport refrigeration unit offers a complete solution enabling the safe, reliable and cost-efficient transport of temperature-controlled freight.

One-stop solution. The efficient complete package:

Schmitz Cargobull is taking a new approach to marketing by incorporating the transport refrigeration unit into the S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE complete package. Customers are still able to freely configure S.KO refrigerated semi-trailers belonging to the COOL series using Schmitz Cargobull's current range of features. The complete package includes the company's own refrigeration unit, factory-fitted as a standard feature, along with a Full Service contract from Schmitz Cargobull Parts & Services. The S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE complete package is rounded out by the Telematics package featuring a temperature recorder and proactive monitoring. This system provides the customer with a one-stop solution - together with one single point of contact. This reduces costs in advance, creates transparency and allows clear identification in the event of problems.

In comparison to many other freely configurable solutions for the trailer, running gear and telematics, the S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE package is distinguished by perfectly coordinated components and a complete information chain. In addition, the package also offers excellent fuel economy and high performance in every operating state, combined with optimal operating reliability and long maintenance intervals.

More than 1,000 perfectly-functioning units on the market

The Schmitz Cargobull refrigeration unit is one of the best performing refrigeration units on the market. The newly developed evaporator design reduces defrosting cycles by up to 50 per cent, and the extremely high heating capacity ensures short defrosting times. The robust industrial motor with intelligent partial-load control (electronic speed control and a compressor with cylinder deactivation) reduces fuel consumption. The generously dimensioned wearing parts allow Schmitz Cargobull to implement long maintenance intervals of up to 3,000 operating hours. Furthermore, the easy access to the technical components, along with the modular design, minimise the time and expense of any repairs and service work.
The refrigeration unit concept utilises high-quality components from renowned manufacturers which fulfil Schmitz Cargobull's high standards. Software developed in-house and specifically for intelligent refrigeration unit management controls these components. This results in temperature control with extremely narrow tolerances, optimised for all loads and requirements. The sensitive, electronic control system guarantees an even temperature throughout the entire cargo area and saves fuel during constant operation. This control system offers the highest safety when transporting high-quality goods. The separate electronic control of the compressor, heating and ventilation enables autonomous air circulation independent of the cooling, heating or defrosting mode.

Integrated trailer telematics "TrailerConnect^"

The S.KO COOL EXECUTIVE is equipped with the TrailerConnect control unit and the digital, certified TCI (TrailerConnect interface) temperature recorder as standard. TrailerConnect documents the data for the proactive service. This monitoring, with integrated warnings for the driver/vehicle owner, serves to minimise breakdowns and unplanned downtime.
The integrated TCI (certified to DIN EN 12830) provides the user with simple, clear and direct access to the temperature data. This function also enables users to provide proof of an uninterrupted refrigeration chain and allows permanent online access to the temperature data from the trailer and the refrigeration unit.

Long-term service concept

The successful use of a transport refrigeration unit depends on its reliability. Schmitz Cargobull possesses a Europe-wide service network with specially trained service partners.

The standard telematics functions help to rapidly find and eliminate the causes of faults on the unit and also permit effective preventive maintenance. The supply of spare parts for the transport refrigeration unit will be integrated into Schmitz Cargobull's EPOS spare parts programme. This simplifies part identification and also makes the delivery time extremely short. All service partners will stock the more common spare parts.

The S.KO COOL refrigerated semi-trailer

The S.KO COOL refrigerated semi-trailer, which serves as the platform for the new refrigeration unit, has been Europe's best-selling refrigerated trailer for some years. Schmitz Cargobull has further optimised the fuel economy and value retention of the current generation. This is due to further improvements to the insulation of the FERROPLAST^® panels. In addition, the body is even better protected against damage. The optional, aerodynamic full cladding reduces fuel consumption by up to four per cent. Naturally, familiar options such as the double-decker loading system can also be combined. The S.KO COOL with EXECUTIVE package fulfils all of the common criteria for current transport certificates, including certification to HACCP, ATP classification plus Cemafroid.

Fair financing

The subsidiary company, Schmitz Cargobull Finance, offers alternative financing options such as hire purchase* or leasing*. It is a joint-venture between SCB and Dutch bank, De Lage Landen. As such, it offers customers the perfect combination of Schmitz Cargobull's technical knowledge and market know-how along with the financial expertise of De Lage Landen’s banking professionals. A single contact partner (one-stop shopping) provides the customer with a complete range of services ranging from hire-purchase, leasing, vehicle buy-back later on and Full Service contracts.
