Safe and efficient – transport cooling units from Schmitz Cargobull

• Cost-efficient electric transformation in refrigerated transport: The S.CU d80 ePTO ready transport cooling unit
• For the highest customer standards, maximum reliability and efficient temperature management: The S.CU dc85 transport cooling unit
June 2025 – Schmitz Cargobull’s range of transport cooling units includes units with various drive systems: the diesel-powered S.CU d80 and S.CU d85, the battery-electric S.CU ep85, and the S.CU d80 ePTO ready, which can operate using either diesel or electric power. The S.CU dc85 and the S.CU ep85 cooling units are also available as MultiTemp versions.
The Schmitz Cargbull S.CU transport cooling units are distinguished by their user-friendly handling, a modular design, and simple maintenance. Thanks to the wide door opening and optimum arrangement of diesel and oil filters, maintenance work can be performed quickly and without any hassle. The electrified cooling circuits also reduce the number of components that require maintenance. With the microchannel condenser and a defined air flow rate through the engine chamber, the S.CU models offer a high level of operating reliability, even at extreme ambient temperatures. Efficient defrosting is ensured by the double-length slat spacing and integrated electric heating elements, which reduces defrost cycles by 30% and also boosts efficiency. A particular highlight is the Silence Kit, which is integrated as standard and ensures quiet operation without impairing performance. It significantly improves comfort for the driver, which is particularly relevant in the age of driver shortages. The S.CU transport cooling units offer telematics solutions, such as CargoSets and RemoteStart, which offer default configurations for various transport requirements, on the one hand, and also enable the cooling unit to be started remotely, on the other. All Schmitz Cargobull S.CU cooling units come with a 24-month Full Service contract ex works, which includes the TrailerConnect® telematics contract and proactive monitoring of the cooling unit through ‘Smart Service’. The TrailerConnect® portal provides customers with all relevant information about the status of the cooling unit via the FleetWatch fleet monitoring dashboard. A particularly noteworthy feature is the Proactive Monitoring function, which enables the operating status of S.CU cooling units and trailers to be monitored in real time in the dashboard. As part of this process, an automatic fault analysis is created and the system provides recommended actions to resolve the issue, allowing for early responses during day-to-day transport operations and enabling the rapid resolution of problems. Contracts can be extended at any time and also tailored to suit the customer’s respective needs.

For the highest customer standards, maximum reliability and efficient temperature management: The S.CU dc85 transport cooling unit
The S.CU dc85 from Schmitz Cargobull’s modular system offers bespoke solutions, simple maintenance and a rapid supply of spare parts in order to meet the requirements in the high-range segment. Thanks to the enhanced, cutting-edge diesel common rail technology and intelligent partial-load control, fuel consumption is optimised and allows for sustainable and cost-efficient operations. The S.CU cooling unit’s electronic speed control guarantees precise temperature management and maximum comfort. Reducing fluctuations in speed ensures constant and reliable temperature management. With the MultiTemp design, fast and secure loading is not a problem thanks to the maximum interior height, which is achieved through the partially recessed additional roof evaporator and protective frame. Thanks to cutting-edge technology and the diesel engine’s variable speed control, the S.CU dc85 consumes less fuel* while offering precise temperature management, which helps to significantly reduce running costs. The microchannel condenser ensures greater operational reliability at high outside temperatures and reduces refrigerant consumption. All data and functions, such as two-way communication, RemoteStart and CargoSets, are integrated into the TrailerConnect® telematics system as standard. The RemoteStart activates the cooling unit remotely at a pre-set time, so that the temperature required during transport is reached by the start of the journey.
