The 7.82m (25.6ft)-long single axle unit has a kerb weight of 4.36 tonnes (4.29 tons), giving a payload potential of up to 15.70 tonnes (15.45 tons).
The trailer has a Petter DKL 50 refrigeration unit with full-width double doors at the rear and a single side door to aid loading.
The Thermovan panels are constructed by bonding Durali nox linings on to the pvc insulating material using epoxy resin under pressure. The high strength panels are self-supporting, eliminating the need for body framework — including wall strengthening posts and floor crossbearers.
The pvc insulation is non-absorbent, rot-proof and non-flammable.
The trailer will be used on contract work for fish merchant F. Smales doing short distance multi-drop distribution work.
