Optima

The standard reefer that brings you exceptional performance.

Introducing Optima, from Carrier Transicold, the innovative concept in trailer refrigeration, engineered for exceptional performance, reliability, and serviceability - at the lower total life-cycle cost.

Specifically engineered for today's grocery fleets, Optima is ideal for shipping temperature-sensitive products at 0°F (-18°C) and above. Optima maintains cargo quality in every application, pup to full-size trailer.

Overall, Optima is lighter in weight than any standard reefer unit, which can help to increase payload. And it fits standard wide-post openings.

Our exclusive DuraShell™ skins and doors are made of super-tough, lightweight composite material, so they won't rust, dent, warp, fade, or peel like metal. Unique modular design provides complete up-front accessibility to al serviceable components.

Other Optima exclusives include our advanced microprocessor control system and time-proven HCFC Refrigerant-22, standard.

Lastly, Optima is backed by the most extensive warranty available. And supported by expert service and genuine Performance Parts at Carrier Transicold dealers (such as Williams Carrier Transicold) worldwide.

1. Lighter weight, zero protrusion, 100% payload. Featuring the same high-strength UltraLight frame as Phoenix Ultra, Optima weighs considerably less than the closest "competitive" model. Zero evaporator protrusion for 100% payload.
2. Maximum service accessibility. Optima features modular system design with fewer parts, to give mechanics maximum accessibility to serviceable components. Quick-release doors provide immediate and complete access to the min compartment. Troubleshooting and service are faster and easier.
3. Sleek aerodynamic profile. Optima features a 60" turning radius - the tightest in the industry - 1" tighter than the closest "competitive" model.
4. Environmentally responsive HCFC Refrigerant-22, standard. The here-today, here-tomorrow refrigerant, R-22 is responsive to the environment, readily available, at low cost, worldwide. Standard with the Optima system, HCFC-22 produces ample capacity at 0°F (-18°C) and above.
5. DuraShell composite skins and doors stand up to extreme weather and abuse. They won't rust, dent, warp, fade, or peel like metal. They're lightweight and exceptionally durable.
6. Advanced microprocessor control system. Optima delivers state-of-the-art temperature control from the most "intelligent" system available today. It features virtually automatic "start-and-set" operation, user-friendly ClickSet keypad, and easy-to-read displays.
7. Super-efficient 4-cylinder 1.5-liter, CT4-91 Tri-Vortex engine. Manufactured to meet the highest performance standards and the most stringent emissions regulations, it is the quietest-running, cleanest burning engine in trailer refrigeration. Models in the Tri-Vortex engine series are certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
8. Super-reliable 4-cylinder 24-CID Carrier 05K compressor. Based on the highly successful Carrier 05G compressor, the highly efficient 05K new-generation design delivers unmatched capacity per cubic inch.
9. DuraDrive belt-drive system for one-step belt replacement. Belt changes take less than half the time than with competitive units. Heavy duty belts ensure 50% longer life.
10. DuraDrive heavy-duty clutch and gearbox, rated at over four times the torque requirement. Proven in rugged off-road and military applications. Eliminates defrost dampers. Special locking pin overrides Clutch to keep fans running.
11. Fits standard wide-post bulkhead opening. No need for custom framing.
