Amazing technology…I used to load ice cream at -30 from Barcelona hi doing a bit of fridge fridge work for mozzers and ive had one or two trailers showing plus 9 after a defrost cycle when its been set to plus 2 and wondered if this is normal
we do have a resident fridge specialist somewhere amongst us whos never actually driven a fridge trailer
Yes Banana’s as others have mentioned above.
Interestingly, well for me anyway, I picked up a fridge trailer earlier this year, fridge temp was +20, instructions were to check temp. before setting off, do usual checks then head out. Delivered with no issues but customer insisted on printout from trailer printer to make sure temperature hadn’t been out of range. Turned out was pharmaceuticals of some sort.

And we’re getting close to an older thread about hazardous loads in food tankers.
Then of course there are the tankers with fridge units for frozen juice, tankers with generators to drive heating systems, tankers fitted with gas cylinders and a large night heater system, hot chocolate, hot bitumen, hot resin.
My last tanker had an engine driven heating system. I could plug in on a ferry or train or we would drop trailers off and plug them into the mains at ports, factories, cleaning stations etc.
Chocolate was carried at between 28°c and 46°c, too cold it bloomed & set solid, too hot it burnt and separated.

One thing they are super good for is drying a just washed trailer out. And another top tip as still drivers don’t know it- when you’ve washed fridge out and want to dry floor, some companies won’t load a wet floor, put fridge on 0°c constant. Too many drivers put it on +30°c, understandably but that just creates dampness. Cold air I’d usually dry
thanks for the tip, never know when I’ll need it 
just curious, is this due to increased humidity at +30c? cheers

Aye cold air is drier and so can absorb more moisture
@Mazzer2 cheers man, good to know…
