Thermo King SVC has launched Thermo Gard Bronze, a new preventive maintenance and inspection program for the company's truck and trailer units delivered in 2005. Offered free of charge in conjunction with Ingersoll-Rand's 100th anniversary celebration, Thermo Gard Bronze is designed to save time and money by making unit maintenance easier. The program is part of a new family of SVC maintenance offerings, which also includes the optional upgrade Silver (centralized billing), Gold (extended warranty), and Platinum (guaranteed maintenance) programs.
The Thermo Gard Bronze program includes two interim inspections and one preventive maintenance service for three years (up to a maximum of 6,000 hours) on new trailer and SB Classic units. Self-powered truck units receive one interim inspection and one preventive maintenance service for two years, and vehicle-powered truck units receive two interim inspections for two years.
