About This Finance

Refrigerated Trailer

Refrigerated semi-trailers, or reefers, keep food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive freight at the right temperature over long distances. They're used by cold chain carriers, food producers and owner-drivers contracting to them.

Lenders look at two things: the trailer and the refrigeration unit. The unit is a major part of the value and wears separately, so for used reefers they may ask about unit age, running hours and service history, as well as the body's insulation and floor. Contracts with food or cold chain customers make applications stronger.

Tip: when buying used, get the refrigeration unit's service records and hours. A tired unit can cost a lot to replace and will affect what the trailer is worth.
