the unit
of choice

The SLXi, Thermo King’s new trailer refrigeration unit, sets standards of reliability, efficiency
and performance that are unequalled. Control, connectivity, sustainability and choice:
this unit has them all.
Turn the page and see why the SLXi is the best choice for your business.

You win. Always.

Choose, connect, care, control.
Trust SLXi to deliver.

The SLXi range is the result of many thousands of hours of research. But we did not confine ourselves to the laboratory. Instead we spoke to hundreds of transport companies and analysed data from over one thousand units in daily use. The knowledge acquired allowed us to evolve the proven SLX platform to meet more of your needs, to further exceed your expectations and simply to serve you better.

Fuel typically represents more than half

of your Total Cost of Ownership.

Imagine what a reduction of 10 to 20%

could do for your bottom line.

SLXi enables you to cut fuel costs dramatically.

You told us that you need a choice of operating profiles to optimize performance and economy, depending on the load carried.

Now you can choose the ideal profile for your operation.

You asked for ease of use and elimination of operator error. Our latest SR-3 controller brings a selection of preset operating profiles which will not just be error-proof but also fully meet your operational needs.

Technology that puts
you where you need to be:
in control.

To effectively manage your fleet you needed full visibility of both unit and load condition, at your location and on the move. We decided to make the SLXi the first fully “telematics ready” unit by installing our first TK BlueBox communication device on every unit.

You will be able to connect
anytime, anywhere.

SLXi GreenTech engines fully comply and even significantly outperform emission limits specified in the latest amendment of EU Non Road Mobile Machinery (Stage V) directive, effective from 01/2019. Your business is committed to a policy of environmental responsibility and the relentless reduction of its carbon footprint. The SLXi cuts global warming impact by 45% and CO2 by 15%.

Your customers will know that you care for our planet.

You insisted on the very highest standards of quality, reliability and support for total peace of mind. We refined our design to reduce the stress on key components, extend unit life and cut maintenance costs.

You can trust us to deliver
to the highest standards.

The SLXi is offered as an extensive range of single and multi-temperature units, customized with performance-enhancing options, to give you precisely the capabilities you need for your business.

Fuel savings with precise
temperature control

After analysing data from over one thousand trailers in real-life applications across many continents, it has become clear that many refrigeration units are not set up for optimum performance and economy. Careful study of hundreds of applications has helped us to formulate operating profiles which ideally suit real temperature controlled transport situations.

The SLXi will provide you with a choice of profiles ranging from decimal point accurate temperature control for highly sensitive loads to substantially reduced fuel consumption for less sensitive cargoes. Our Dealers have been trained to help you match operating parameters exactly to your individual requirements. This will ensure that your cargo is maintained in perfect condition and that your bottom-line benefits to the maximum possible extent.

For economy, a 27% larger condenser coil allows us to reduce engine speeds and cut fuel consumption while maintaining or increasing capacity and airflow.

For Precision Temperature Control (PTC), we leverage the latest Electronic Throttling Valve (ETV)
technology* integrated in the host unit and high frequency liquid line solenoid valve pulsing implemented
in the remote evaporators. This provides rapid pull-down for temperature recovery with smooth temperature control to reduce thermal shock, minimize evaporation and increase the shelf-life of fresh produce.

Using the power and intelligence of the latest edition SR-3 controller with OptiSet™ Plus customizable operating parameters, we ensure the best setup for your particular needs and virtually eliminate the risk of operator error.

Quality you can depend on

Every time you move temperature sensitive cargo for your customers, you put your company’s reputation
on the line. To do so, you have to place total trust in the equipment you use and the support it receives.
Thermo King has always viewed world-class quality, reliability and service back-up as key ingredients. With the SLXi, our passion for continuous improvement has resulted in a unit you can rely on to serve you day and night, in the harshest conditions. We can make this commitment to you on the back of a global field trial and exhaustive laboratory testing. As an SLXi owner, you will enjoy total peace of mind.

• • 27% larger condenser permits reduced engine speeds and minimizes component stress.
  
• • Exceptional component durability gives increased uptime and lower maintenance costs.
  
• • E-coated frame provides lifetime corrosion protection.
  
• • World leading Dealer network guarantees an expert and supportive partner, round the clock.
  

Minimizing your
Total Cost of Ownership

A refrigeration unit, like any capital equipment, must deliver a return on investment which is quantified by calculating the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

• • Fuel typically comprises more than 50% of the TCO over a 7 year first life. The SLXi has been refined to deliver substantial savings of 10-20%* on average when compared with its already impressive predecessor.
  
• • Maintenance costs can be managed downwards and made predictable by choosing a service contract such
  as those offered under the ThermoKare banner.
  
• • Purchase price is the most visible part of TCO, but not the largest. Buying cheap is seldom buying wise.
  The price paid covers much more than the tangible asset of the unit itself. It also covers service support,
  quality, reliability, innovation, dependability and much more.
  
• • Operating costs can be reduced by the careful selection of the right operating profile for each load.
  Thermo King Dealers have considerable expertise in this area.
  
• • Productivity gains can be realized by using the fleet management tools made possible with TK BlueBox telematics connectivity, now standard on all SLXi units.
  
• • Resale value of Thermo King equipment is legendary. Expect used trailers fitted with the SLXi to sell faster
  than competitive units and at a better price.

pharmaceutical transport

Most medical and biological products must be strictly temperature controlled at every stage of manufacture and distribution. Failure to do so not only risks the loss of an extremely high-value cargo but can also jeopardize public health and patient safety. Because of the special needs of this sector, Thermo King established TK PharmaSolutions, a platform of applications and services that addresses the precise needs of the industry.

Within TK PharmaSolutions, Thermo King developed a Good Distribution Practice (GDP) protocol with supervision and validation by independent specialists serving the pharmaceutical industry. This follows EU guidelines to cover design, installation, operation and performance qualification.

The SLXi now joins our range of GDP-qualified equipment for the temperature controlled transport of sensitive pharmaceutical products.

Our real-time tracking and remote monitoring system TracKing™ enables detection of temperature deviations and immediate action to secure the load. TracKing™ is now GAMP5 validated.

Thermo King’s PharmaAssist service contract helps the customer to better manage risk throughout the life of the equipment. Services include annual calibration, preventative maintenance, priority breakdown assistance and access to the iKare portal for full documentation.
