• York is nearing completion of an order believed to be worth more than £6 million for 160 specially-developed Thermostar semi-trailers for Tesco.
The three compartment refrigerated trailers are fitted with moveable bulkheads which incorporate a positive sealing system to limit heat transfer between compartments. The bulkheads run along a new design of GRP track on nylon block sliders, which York claims helps make the bulkheads easy to move, yet very efficient in preventing thermal transfer. When not required, the bulkheads can be stored in the roof space.
Three roof-mounted evaporator units are fitted within the load space and each is linked to its own dedicated condenser mounted beneath the trailer body. All the trailers run on Tecait air suspension.
The Tesco order includes 134, 12.4-metre tri-axle trailers with lifting front axles, 16 10-metre and 10 eight-metre tandem-axle trailers, all liveried in Tesco colours.
