Great Dane - SuperSeal XLT Reefers:
Standard Quality Features
SuperSeal Reefers are manufactured in Great Dane’s in Wayne, Nebraska.
Leading-edge technology in urethane foam insulation produces a void-free
structure of uniform density providing excellent thermal efficiency. Modular
construction provides economies in repairs when required. SuperSeal Reefers
offer a long list of option for a wide variety of applications, and are
available in various lengths up to a maximum of 54’ at both 96”
and 102” widths.
Interior Sidewalls:
Interior Sidewalls are lined with one-piece, high-glass content .060”
fiberglass liner.
One-piece ceiling liners of .060” fiberglass are also of rivetless
design providing maximum resistance against moisture intrusion. The totally
flat side lining fits securely into a slot at the top of the standard 10”
integral scuffband of extruded aluminum, but is easily removed if repairs
are ever necessary.
Front End:
Refrigeration unit bracing is fabricated of strong 4.625” wide by
2.75” deep extruded aluminum “J-channel.” Additional 1.625”
aluminum zee uprights provide a rigid front end. Prepainted white 6”
radius corners of .098” extruded aluminum are extremely puncture resistant.
Front panels of .040” aluminum are riveted to the uprights on 2”
centers for maximum strength and service.
Corner Protection:
An aluminum top corner casting protects and completely seals the joint of
the roof, side and front modular components.
Sides:
Side posts are either 1.125” J or 1.625” Z sections of extruded
aluminum. As standard, posts are location on 12” centers form the
front to the rear of the landing gear bracing, and on 24” centers
to the rear frame. Side sheets are .040” prepainted aluminum riveted
to uprights oh 2” centers at sheet laps. Side sheet corrugations are
closed at both front and rear to eliminate moisture intrusion into the foam
cavity. Heavy-duty rivets are used in all high stress joints.
Light Protection:
Stop, tail and turn lights are completely recessed and protected from external
damage. A light protector box fully encases the backside protecting wiring
and receptacles from road debris as well as ice buildup.
Stainless Rear Doors:
Optional .035” stainless steel cover sheets for rear doors and vents
provide exceptional appearance and protection from road salt spray. This
material is available in smooth and .030” diamond finishes.
Extra Protection:
A .125” heavy-duty aluminum plate adds additional protection for the
PVC thermal barrier and liner connection from exiting fork trucks.
Underride Protection:
A Sturdy, backbraced rear impact guard is standard. It is painted with Imron
metallic paint to closely match the stainless steel rear frame.
Reinforcement:
To create the strongest rear frame/bottom rail connection an over-sized,
special-shaped shear plate is welded to the last two crossmember in lieu
of the end clips. This provides solid back-up for the 13” stainless
steel reinforcing gusset. Twelve .375” stainless steel lick-bolts
fasten the bottom rail, stainless gusset and steel shear plate adding substantial
strength to this high stress area.
Front Impact Plate:
An extra-strong, extruded aluminum front impact plate wraps around the front
of the trailer. Durable stainless steel Huck rivets connect the front impact
place and bottom rails to the upper coupler. The front impact plate protects
the bottom of the front and radius corners from damage caused by tractor
fifth-wheel and other sources. As standard, air and electrical connections
are off-set to the road side for driver convenience. Other locations are
available.
Foaming Technology:
A computer-controlled urethane injection process insulates sidewall and
roof modular components while in a temperature controlled press ensuring
flat, void-free, bonded applications. Each modular roof or wall structure
is preheated, injected with urethane while in the press and then fully cured.
When these panels are removed, the sealed panel injection process results
in a thermally efficient, precisely flat void-free structure.
Designed-In Quality:
From listening to the end users needs, engineers create designs provided
by computer driven road simulation that solve custom problems. This communication
fosters real world solutions that build quality and added value into every
SuperSeal.
Quality Workmanship:
Although inspection is a vital part of Quality Control, quality cannot be
inspected in a trailer. Each work station in the manufacturing process is
accountable for the quality of their process. A tem concept with full understanding
of what is important drives the quality across the plant floor. Pride in
accomplishment of producing high value trailers is evident.
Quality Assurance:
The SuperSeal foam injection technique has been designed to assure a void-free
final product. This is just one example of SuperSeal’s outstanding
quality assurance program. From individual accountability for quality within
the production process to the documentation of all required inspections,
the SuperSeal quality program is your assurance of excellent trailer value.
Great Dane Warranty:
Great Dane SuperSeal trailers are backed by the best warranty in the industry
for a full five years. Response to warranty claims at Great Dane locations
coast-to-coast in the U.S. and Canada is second to none.
