How does a power wagon work?
How does a power wagon work?
The power wagon operates like a bicycle dynamo. As the wheels rotate during transport, a hydraulic mechanism generates electricity which is being stored into a sizable battery. This power is then supplied to the container or trailer, ensuring continued operation of reefer units for temperature-controlled transportation, even during standstill. We offer power-wagons in various sizes (60-80-90ft) with a range of battery capacities, to offer the right wagon for the job.
Plug-and-play solution
Plug-and-play solution
The wagon is designed with the goal to simplify operations. With just the press of a button and a standard electricity cable to be plugged, the powerbox brings the reefer wagon to life. No technical expertise is needed as the wagon is plug-and-play for any solution. This seamless integration ensures efficiency and reliability, making it effortless to keep cargo at the right temperature.
