These units were manufactured in New Zealand and assembled in Adelaide. Specifically designed to withstand the severe conditions encountered during long-distance Rail transportation, the above 22mtr long refrigerated rail containers carry frozen goods (at minus 25C) across the Australian Desert between Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, where the outside ambient frequently reaches plus 45C.

The Fairfax unique fully-moulded one-piece ACT (Advanced Composite Technology) GRP construction provides maximum strength and superior thermal efficiency, ensuring the cargo arrives undamaged and at correct temperature.

FUNCTIONAL ADVANTAGES

• Lightweight (therefore higher payload),
• Cannot leak heat or moisture - has no joints, bolts or rivets to leak, or metal to conduct heat.
• No metal in body to fracture, twist or fail.
• Clean, smooth and flat interior . No interior beams to intrude.
• Composite structure is a ‘single membrane’. Conventional alum/insulation/liner have differing expansion co-efficients and allow sweating, leaking and pest infestation.
• Easy to repair composite construction.
• Lowest cost of ownership proven in the long-term.
• Longevity : our trucks are in daily use > 25 years.
