New vocational delivery van from Stoops Freightliner fills need for efficient transportation and delivery of perishables and temperature sensitive cargo
July 29, 2011 Stoops Freightliner is providing customers the first Sprinter van model that can transport deeply frozen cargo at -20 degrees Fahrenheit. This unique solution is now ready for delivery to customers who transport fresh, lightly frozen or deep frozen products. Salespeople are now quoting multi-temperature compartments, electric standby/shore power, heat capability and unique shelving packages all which are available. The voice of customer has demanded these options and Stoops has responded to this market need.
Mark Fritcha, Corporate Sales Manager for Light Duty Vehicles at Stoops reports, “The Glacier King -20° has exceeded our expectations for pulling down to temperature, holding -20° F on days of 90 degrees plus F ambient temperatures. We knew that if we met the -20° degree goal, we would exceed all fresh refrigerated and light frozen applications requirements and customer expectations. Businesses and fleets will clearly see value in the reliability and durability this vehicle provides. We are confident this new Sprinter from Stoops Freightliner will provide a temperature controlled cargo solution for a broad range of customers.”
The product is fully differentiated from other high value and temperature controlled Sprinter vans. Jeff Jones at Stoops Freightliner Fort Wayne has provided the market these specialty vans with sleeper berths. Jeff adds, “We really wanted to take what we developed for the high value temperature controlled load cells and use it for a full cargo area payload. It’s all about Specialty trucks that provide best in class operating criteria in fuel economy, payload, temperature control and vehicle operating expense. These product attributes drive customer profits. We now have this with the Glacier King -20° and in a variety of other Sprinter models.” Stoops Freightliner provides this total vehicle solution with a unique load cell insulation package in concert with the Thermo King V520RT unit. The vehicle has been validated at 100 degrees F to -20 degrees in the cargo compartment. Customer requests are requesting multi-temperature compartments, electric standby/shore power, heat capability and unique shelving packages all which are available from Stoops Freightliner.
