Temperature controlled trailers

Whats the craic with the little window in one of the doors?
(was going too say fridge trailers but they are not called that anymore are they) :unamused:

We used to open them for ventilation for the plants if the door was closed all day.

some call them Reefer

Not talking about the little flaps(oo err),have seen a couple with what looks like sealed safety glass windows .

Can’t say I’ve ever seen one tbh, seen plenty of mainly foreign trailers with the little flaps, but definitely not a glass thing.

Maybe it’s so the driver can check without opening the doors if the 30 Syrians inside have stopped moving yet!

Was behind one today,a firm from Spalding,not one of the big boys.
Must admit thinking the same ala stowaways but that would be so un pc :wink:

if your pulling plants and flowers it lets some fresh air in to keep the plants in good shape . As well as the small opening on the back door the fridge trailer also has one on the front bulkhead (usually at the top beside the fridge motor ) if your in a hury to dry out a fridge between loads after washing it out - open both flaps and set the fridge motor to - 2 your fridge will be dry in about half an hour .

It was a sealed window,no flap.

It’s so the illegals inside can see where they are before they get out.

It is illegal migrant can see from inside where they ready-in England or still in France.

open both flaps

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: and dive in !!.sorry couldn’t resist it :blush: :blush:

Seen them on the bio mass trailers and also the feed wagons.
I think it might be to do with walking floor trailers so you can check on load when tipping out.

Now there’s a good idea for the illegals. Walking floor. Don’t close it up, just wait until it’s full of 'em, close up and switch on. Make sure you’ve got drain holes at the back for the blood and guts. :bulb:
