Patented Barrier Rear Doors
Bonded foam sandwich design of the reefer 3000R barrier door features less heat loss with greater durability. External hardware mounting means no moisture path to foam cavity.

Unique Wedge Gaskets
Multi-point contact with door frame and buckplate for better seal and less air loss. Greater sealing surface area than any other gasket design.

Utility Designed Door Hardware
Utility’s 3000R door hardware provides greater gathering ability and easier locking. It features standard aluminum hinges and standard center cam which provides increased stiffness and reduces air loss.

Standard Stainless Steel Covered Extruded Aluminum Corner Posts
Provides greater durability and ease of cleaning. Extruded aluminum post for greater strength and ease of repair.

Refrigeration Support Posts
3 1/4&\#34; deep galvanized steel support posts ensure greater durability of your reefer. 3/4&\#34; thick “heat breaker” between support post and interior lining reduces heat transfer and increases the efficiency of your refrigerated trailer.

Lining Corner Closures
Each extruded aluminum closure joint encapsulates the adjacent lining for greater protection against moisture intrusion into the foam insulation.

Stainless Steel Rear Frame
The 3000R stainless steel rear frame does not require painting and resists corrosion, while increasing resale value. Satin finish stainless steel for uniform good looks and durability.

Impact-Absorbing Rear Gusset
13 1/2&\#34; deep rear gusset connects rear door frame to bottom rail. Reduces dock damage to adjacent structures and provides a recessed area to protect lower rear lights.

Landing Leg Support and Bracing
High tensile steel wingplates with collared holes and embossed ribs for maximum strength and lower tare weight of the trailer. Formed channel x-braces distribute leg forces into the full width of the leg.

Air Ride Suspension
Standard air ride suspension is designed in, not just added as an option, resulting in lower tare weight and more available payload. Standard 96&\#34; slider travel provides more versatility, weight distribution, maneuverability and bridge law compliance.

Highest Rated Floor System
The floor system on this reefer features 16,000 lb. dynamic fork truck capacity floor, 100% hardwood floor fillers, aluminum I-beam floor cores, an additional cross member, patented floor attachment, and an all aluminum support grid.

Integrated 10" High Heavy Duty Wearband
The wearband on the 3000R provides greater protection against fork truck abuse. 3/16&\#34; thick at bottom for strength tapering to .100&\#34; at top. No exposed fasteners to back out or leak moisture into foam insulation.

Heavy-Duty Floor Planks
1 3/8&\#34; deep floor planks have raised ridges for application of available “knurled” surface. Ensures lower maintenance cost.

5/16" Thick Dock Board Guide Plates
Protects rear of floor from dock plate damage. Increases durability and reduces trailer maintenance costs.

Foam in Place Insulation
High pressure foam injection system completely fills all cavities. No foam voids. Guaranteed. State-of-the-art process lowers heat loss for greater reefer efficiency and lower fuel costs.

LED Lights
LED lights on top rails and rear header provide up to 10,000 hours of service. Lowers maintenance costs and increases profits.

Exterior Mount Nose Box
Provides easy access to both air and electrical connections for reduced maintenance costs. Stainless-steel lower “hat” section protects lines from damage during coupling.

Shallow Design Door Header
Provides maximum door opening height at rear door for greater load versatility. Minimizes load damage. Wedge-shaped header design reduces air loss and increases thermal efficiency.

Ultra-High Tensioned Roof Skin
Roof skin is tensioned and is bonded to insulation for increased strength and durability. Edges are mechanically formed around top rails to reduce moisture intrusion and insure thermal efficiency.

Thermal Barriers
This low-conduction barrier between threshold and buckplate reduces heat transfer for greater thermal efficiency. Every 3000R® has a complete system of thermal barriers to optimize thermal performance.

Corrosion Protection
King pin section completely immersed in rust-preventative coating for increased service life and reduced maintenance costs. Rust-preventative coating is applied on all steel under carriage parts of the 3000R trailer for added durability.

Side Wall and Ceiling Lining
Installed in one piece without fasteners. All edge joints are “captured” in aluminum channel-shaped extrusions for maximum resistance to moisture entry. Provides greater durability and improved thermal efficiency that reefer requires.

Wiring System
Internally grounded system with soldered joints and molded connectors for maximum life and minimum maintenance costs. The 3000R wiring system is under warrenty for 10 years.

5-1/2” Deep Extruded Aluminum Cross Members
These cross members in the bay area increase floor strength and reduce tare weight. They also provide greater durability and higher payloads.

Stemco Platinum Performance Wheel End System
The Stemco Platinum Performance Wheel End System includes the Stemco Guardian HP Oil Seal, Stemco PRO-TORQ Spindle Nut, and the Stemco Integrated Sentinel Hubcap and includes a 5 year limited warranty on parts and labor.

Hendrickson Quik-Draw Pin Puller
Hendrickson’s Quik-Draw pin-pull mechanism is a fully pneumatic device that operates with simple pull of a handle. The unique design enhances driver productivity and reduces effort when repositioning the sliding suspension.
