A new display that mounts on the front corner of a trailer makes it easy for a driver to verify the temperature inside a trailer without leaving the cab.

The dual-view temperature display from Carrier Transicold, is an LED display that mounts on the front corner of a refrigerated trailer. It displays large amber numerals for of up to three zones in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

The system reverses the image so that drivers viewing the numbers in a mirror see them correctly, Carrier said. When the trailer is sitting in a yard, the device can be switched from reverse view to normal view for easier reading.

“The dual-view system is more than just an easy-to-read display,” said Jason Forman, senior product development manager for Carrier Transicold’s Performance Parts Group. “It provides independent verification of box temperatures via its own sensor, or sensors in multi-temp applications. It also shows refrigeration unit status – cool, heat, defrost or warning.”

It is compatible with most Carrier Transicold and competitive trailer units and includes a two-year limited parts warranty.
