Cooling units for perfect temperature-controlled freight transport

Cooling units for perfect temperature-controlled freight transport

For more than 12 years, Schmitz Cargobull has been offering its own solutions in the field of transport cooling with its S.CU cooling units, which are optimally matched to FERROPLAST® refrigerated bodies and the TrailerConnect® telematics system. Our S.CU modular system includes two diesel-powered units, the S.CU d80 and the newly introduced S.CU dc90.

Your benefits with the S.CU modular system

  • Efficient defrost management

    More efficient process thanks to reduced defrosting intervals due to double fin spacing, and faster defrosting with integrated electric heating elements.

S.CU d80 and S.CU dc90 cooling unit

Diesel-powered cooling units - The right product for every requirement

S.CU d80

Maximum robustness meets minimum noise

NEW: S.CU dc90

A pioneer in sustainable solutions offering maximum customer benefit

Cooling Unit S.CU d80

Robust 4-cylinder diesel engine

  • For use in all markets, especially those with lower diesel quality
  • Low fuel consumption thanks to variable speed control of the diesel engine
  • Quietest transport refrigeration unit in its market segment
    ​

High efficiency thanks to scroll compressor

  • Sustainable – hermetically sealed refrigeration circuit
  • No maintenance components, no longer requires a mechanical seal or check valve
  • The S.CU is powered by the tractor's high-voltage battery
  • Low investment costs – no additional HV battery or generator axle required
  • High operational reliability – the diesel generator starts as a back-up if no energy is supplied by the ePTO

Efficient common rail diesel engine

  • Thermodynamically optimised with extended speed range
  • Ready for further tightening of limits (e.g. TRU CARB 2023)
    ​

Efficient 4-cylinder 2-stage reciprocating compressor

  • Up to 6% more cooling capacity*
  • Up to 10% lower fuel consumption*
  • Ready for the future – suitable for flammable refrigerants and new regulations
  • Easy maintenance and repair thanks to the semi-hermetic compressor
  • More comfort for the driver – thanks to noise reduction, especially in partial load operation
    ​

Sustainable for the future

  • Reduction in CO2 emissions – suitable for alternative diesel HVO100 (EN 15940)
  • 89% less CO2 equivalent thanks to lower GWP value of the refrigerant

    ​

* compared to the previous model S.CU dc85

S.CU ePTO ready: cost-effective emission-free solution in combination with an eTruck

  • The S.CU d80 cooling unit is available ex works with an optional interface for an electric power take-off (ePTO).
  • Maximum flexibility in a mixed fleet, regardless of the driveline type or truck manufacturer.
  • Low investment costs, as no additional high voltage battery or e-axle required in the trailer.
  • Protection against spoilage: Diesel generator as a backup if no energy is supplied via the ePTO.
  • The energy supply is switched over independently by the S.CU control unit.

Temperaturdrucker

Temperature printer

With the Schmitz Cargobull temperature printer you can quickly and easily create a paper printout of the certified temperature values directly on the vehicle.
The printout can be configured using the free beSmart App. This is a simple and convenient way of setting and changing, for example, the printing period or the language of the printout.


The temperature printer is an optional feature of the Smart Trailer.

Service

Pro-active monitoring 2.0

A properly functioning cooling unit is absolutely essential for temperature-controlled goods. However, failures can also occur here and then quick action is required. Thanks to Schmitz Cargobull's pro-active monitoring, you automatically receive a call from Cargobull Euroservice when an alarm message occurs. This means that you can react quickly and avoid damage to the goods.

* Offer is included in the EXECUTIVE package.
