Used Reefers in Fontana

Things to Remember When Shopping for Used Reefer Trailers:

Finding a Used Reefer in Fontana or anywhere that is in good condition can be a challenge.  Not only do you have to consider the condition of the reefer trailer and its normal features like tires, wheels, frame, brakes, interior condition, deck and roof but the engine is another factor.  The make, year and number of hours it has operated will all play into how long you will be able to continue operating it.

Purchasing a slightly older trailer with a newer engine
can keep you operating for years to come

Here at Prime Time Equipment we take into consideration many factors that will help you make the right decision for your Fontana Used Reefer needs.  While purchasing a new reefer like our 2014 Vanguard Trailers might be the quickest way to worry free driving it might not be the best option for all budgets.  When you purchase a new trailer you then have to consider the costs of adding a Thermo King or other engine and costs inherent in that.

For this reason we carry many different types of Used Reefer Trailers in Fontana.   Here are your three best options for CARB Compliant Used Reefer Trailers:

1.  Purchase an Older Trailer with a Newer Engine.

One of the most cost effective approaches for buying a used reefer trailer in Fontana is to look for an older model trailer body with a new reefer engine.  We have many 2006 Utility Reefers with 2012 ThermoKing Engines with less than 100 hours on them.  With bodies and trailers that are in great condition, this will enable you to operate a "like-new" engine with a trailer that was built to last and can be much more affordable than purchasing a brand new trailer and engine.

2.  Purchase a Slightly Newer Trailer With an Older Engine with a Particulate Filter.

Adding a particulate filter to an older reefer
engine can save money and performance

This can be a very cost effective solution, purchasing an 08 or 09 trailer with an 07 or 08 engine that may have high hours on it.  Often these engines could have anywhere from 10,000 - 20,000 hours of usage however if you have a particulate filter it will help these engines continue to run for many years and hours.

You will want to consider the maintenance the previous fleet or owner gave to the unit, oil changes, etc, similar to the upkeep of a car, but this can be a great option for those on a budget.  We have many 08 and 09 Utility Reefers in Fontana that have been well maintained and with particulate filters that can serve most budgets.

3.  Purchase a Slightly Newer Trailer With a Newer Engine.

Your third option in purchasing a Used Reefer Trailer in Fontana is to purchase a trailer that is only a few years old.  Many large fleets have policies that keep them from hanging on to equipment for long periods of time making available only one or two or three year old models that are still in great condition.  Maintenance on these are typically outstanding and you will save yourself the higher costs and depreciation of purchasing a newer model that within a few weeks becomes "used."  In our yard in Fontana we have several 2012 Utility Reefers with between 6000-8000 hours.

While finding the right piece of equipment can be a challenge it can also be a lot of fun.  With Dealerships like Prime Time Equipment making sure to carry only quality used trailers and reefers, your search could be much simpler than you ever thought!
