Freight Transport : Dry Vans and Reefers
Freight Transport:
Dry Van
Dry vans and reefer trailers for Freight Transport Companies are basically the same trailer but one has an AC unit attached to the front for keeping freight that needs to be kept cold or frozen at the temperature it requires.
While not fancy this very widely used trailer can still haul an awful lot of different types of items. Typically used for freight and palleted items that can be forklifted or pallet jacked on and off via a dock.
Standard 48ft Dry Vans are all the same 4ft deck height so they can utilize the docks at freight terminals and warehouses they can haul up to 40000lbs without weight permits.

Reefers
Dry vans and reefer trailers are basically the same trailer but one has an AC unit attached to the front for keeping freight that needs to be kept cold or frozen at the temperature it requires for freight transport.
The freight and boxed goods workhorse of the industry you can see them at every super market or big box store backing up to their docks for unloading. Like the standard flatbed they also have a 4ft deck height for the docks. Their lengths vary a little from trailer to trailer, but usually have the same 40000lbs weight limit.
Dry vans are sometime converted to enclosed car trailer or for other specialized uses.
