We work collaboratively with each individual client to design and build exceptional products.
About the pod
Gray & Adams, the UK’s leading supplier of temperature-controlled semi-trailers and rigid vehicle bodywork, has designed an automated loading pod, built inside a 15.6m refrigerated body, that holds 60 pallets at -22° C.
This innovation, coupled with a 44-pallet capacity double deck trailer, can be loaded in under seven minutes, automatically – a first for the UK. This latest concept from Gray & Adams recently won the Innovation Award at the 2019 Temperature Controlled Storage & Distribution (TCS&D) Awards with a design that fully automates the loading process.
Product features
Ensures cold chain integrity to ensure best quality produce and optimised efficiency with reduced loading times
Fully automated system from factory to store, working in conjunction with auto loading fix double deck semi-trailers
Includes satellite based remote monitoring, a full buffer protection installation frame with an auto loading door and 3 Carrier TRS Iceland refrigeration units
Uses electric refrigeration to hold the product at temperature until loading is required, reducing carbon emissions and operation noise levels
