A genset, or generator set, is a unit that is usually attached to a reefer or refrigerated container and provides the container with cooling. A genset is usually a combination of a fuel (diesel, gasoline or gas) powered and an electrical powered generator.

The reason for this is that a genset is used on both transportation overseas (on container ships) and on the road (on cargo trucks). On a container ship, the set is usually powered through the ship’s electrical power. When the set is used on a cargo truck, it’s usually powered by diesel because of the lack of a electrical power supply.

Reliability: Our genset fleet is exceptionally young and maintained to the highest levels. They are also built to last with the direct injection engine designed to handle the most rugged of operating environments.

Cold Chain Security: Gensets allow the security of keeping the cold chain complete throughout the stages of perishable product delivery, providing 460v of continuous power for uninterrupted protection.

Fuel Efficiency: Our gensets are fitted with a dual mode option of “eco” or “power” which controls the running speed after start-up. Eco mode provides approximately 25% efficiency in fuel consumption dependant on ambient temperatures and reefer set point.

Flexibility: Gensets enable you to run reefers without an electrical connection, therefore ensuring that you are not tied down to a specific location.
