THE PRIZE for the oldest working ThermoKing reefer in the UK has gone to Lincolnshire operator Marshalls of Butterwick, with a 21-year-old unit fitted to a Gray & Adams refrigerated trailer.
ThermoKing launched the competition earlier this year and after a big response whittled the entries down to a five-unit shortlist. all of which were still in daily use and older than 15 years, Marshalls is a family concern based near Boston, specialising in fresh produce to the supermarkets. Transport manager Jim Thackray received the award from ThermoKing regional sales manager for the UK and Ireland Graham Eames at the recent launch of the new MD200 and MD300 reefer units.
"Since the shift to temperaturecontrolled transport of fresh fruit and vegetables, we've been operatingThermoKing units and every one that we've bought is still in service," Thackray says.
