    Polar King Mobile recently rolled out its all-new Avalanche Series walk-in refrigerated and freezer trailers, which offer ground-level loading system technology. 

    Utilizing a Sure-Trac loading system, the PKM68A, PKM612A, and PKM616A Avalanche Series refrigerated trailers offer a safer, more efficient way to load and unload refrigerated and freezer trailers, PKM reported.

    “As a company that prides itself on cold storage innovation, we’re excited to offer another first for customers around the country who demand the highest quality storage to power their businesses,” Christian Aitken, PKM executive vice president, said in a news release. “Not only can business have access to the best mobile cold storage on the market, but now these trailers allow for easier loading and unloading.

    “This technology will make it safer and more efficient, while doors on two sides will make trailers more accessible.”

    Two PKM612A and PKM616A are the first trailers from Polar King Mobile to include side doors. In addition to the 54-in. rear door, these trailers also feature a 36-in. side door for additional loading and unloading.
