Tiger Cool Express LLC, an innovative and cost effective temperature-controlled intermodal transporter of produce and food products, announced the acquisition of 35 additional domestic temperature controlled containers to add to its fleet. The new acquisition marks an increase in the fleet size by 17.5%, to 234 containers. The containers match Tiger Cool Express’s current specifications. They are Hyundai boxes with Carrier X4-7300 refrigeration units and iBright telematics. The insulated containers are built to hold temperatures to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Employing the latest technology, the containers offer a host of technological safeguards for the safety and security of its valuable cargo. The containers are equipped with remote accessibility and can be turned on or off, or have temperatures adjusted from any location, remotely. There are four internal sensors that measure temperature, including a coring thermometer, to manage and monitor the environment inside the container and record that information during the entire trip. Additional sensors monitor the doors opening and closing. Cellular sensors monitor location speed and direction and they are equipped with geo-fencing capability to alert the company and customer if the equipment is out of route. Accelerometers measure vertical and horizontal impacts and timing and location of those impacts. Additional sensors measure the quantity of fuel in the 120 gallon diesel tanks. Twin canvass chutes and corrugated aluminum floors ensure that cold air is distributed evenly throughout the container. This entire suite of monitoring information is available to Tiger Cool Express customers in real time via a link on the Company’s website. “With the increasing use of trans-continental intermodal transport, it’s more important than ever to provide our customers the capability to trace the equipment physically in real time,” said Tom Finkbiner, CEO of Tiger Cool Express LLC. “The fleet of temperature-controlled containers will provide customers with the most comprehensive set of monitoring tools and devices available for perishables cargo. Not only a fast, efficient and cost effective solution to nationwide temperature controlled cargo delivery, but also safe, reliable delivery with high visibility throughout the entire route, for the peace of mind of our customers.”
