Greener Grocery Haulers

Greener Grocery Haulers by Rock Creek Express LLC– Looking to getting refrigerated trailers with conversion updates to Diesel / Electric hybrid standby refeer trailer systems conversion going to by being plugging-in to the power grid either by the warehouse docks and yard plug in spots when loaded. Lessen the use of the small diesel engine powering the refrigerated unit for cooling or heating.

Rock Creek Express LLC - Have crunched the numbers that using diesel / electric hybrid standby systems to run transport refrigeration units (TRUs) on their trailers offer a number of benefits. The reason being: these systems allow the trailer’s diesel engine to be switched off when the unit is plugged into the electric grid.

We look forward to slowly take measures to lessen our carbon foot print with updates to buying present day trailers and slowly upgrading each trailer. We need your help as we are a new started business looking to purchase good quality used refrigerated trailers and upgrade with conversion kits to make diesel / hybrid refeer units.

Electric energy is far less expensive than diesel fuel, and plugging-in reduces fuel consumption, company involved in the research, development and deployment of cost-effective, energy-efficient accessories for the trucking industry.

What’s more, electric energy is greener than burning diesel, plus it allows a our Green Grocery Haulers to reduce its carbon footprint through its reduction in diesel emissions.

Rock Creek Express LLC also points out that electric standby lessens the impact of noise pollution problems in abutting residential areas because running on electric power is significantly quieter than a TRU’s diesel-powered engine. Additionally, running a refrigeration unit on electric power helps to reduce operating and maintenance costs as the diesel engine runs less.

SAFETY CONCERNS

However, aside from the benefits of powering hybrid TRUs with electric standby systems, we will need to be aware of potential safety problems with the electric connection systems. These include protecting equipment from accidental drive-offs while still plugged in to grid power and safeguarding employees from the hazards of coming in contact with the system’s high-voltage electricity when connecting or disconnecting the plug.

SafeConnect electric standby connection system towards the rear of the trailer. Its docking stations and smart plugs feature a proprietary quick-release connection system and patented failsafe safety-circuit design that governs the initial connection and will self-disconnect upon sensing tension – as in a drive-off, he explains, instantly cutting off the power flow at the source control box, safeguarding both people and infrastructure.

SMARTS

The added feature of SafeConnect’s logic circuitry brings operational “intelligence” to the system that goes way beyond the quick-disconnect benefit. A company that has developed the ibright system – an advanced telematic solution that provides a variety of business intelligence about fleet movements and individual assets.

Like SafeConnect, the ibright system has the ability to monitor, manage and control when the TRU is running on electric. The solution provides a broad array of functionality for a fully converged monitoring and management tool through a single platform.

Standard and optional features include: two-way remote control, command and monitoring; remote start/stop capability; wireless and tethered remote temperature probes and sensors; reefer health, utilization reporting and alerting; configurable reefer alerts, alarms and diagnostics; door status reporting and alerting; and maintenance due alerting.
