New thermal test chamber for refrigerated vehicles

The chamber is said to be the first of its kind in the country and offers manufacturers the option of sending their refrigerated vehicles for a thermal rating certified by the SABS.

Managing director of Serco, Clinton Holcroft, said the establishment of the chamber was good news for the marketplace. “We will definitely send our units there for testing and make our ratings available for customers.

“Official thermal ratings have been a mandatory requirement in the industry in Europe for a long time and are something long overdue in our country where the thermal capacity of refrigerated vehicles has not been certified before by a highly respected body such as the SABS,” said Holcroft.
