Full Description
The Thermo King SB-230 is a trailer refrigeration unit in Thermo King's SB-30 Series, built around the SR-3 controller — an upgrade from the SR-2 used on earlier SB models. The SR-3 adds a USB port on the exterior of the Human Machine Interface, so technicians can download, upload, and flash-load unit data with a standard USB drive preloaded with Thermo King's WinTrac software, without needing a laptop, cables, or opening any doors or panels. The unit is wireless-ready and can be upgraded to integrated wireless communications, including compatibility with Thermo King's TracKing telematics or third-party options. Standard equipment includes OptiSet Plus (with continuous run, modulation, CYCLE-SENTRY, and CYCLE-SENTRY with modulation modes, plus directional air delivery), a Smooth Air blower assembly, an EMI-3000 extended-maintenance system with a 5-micron filter, an exclusive fuel pre-filter, ServiceWatch and CargoWatch data logging, long-life coolant and silicone hoses, long-life composite exterior panels, an easy-access door design, a vibration isolation system, and a 50-gallon aluminum undermount fuel tank with a visual fuel-level gauge. Factory options include an electronic throttling valve (ETV), an ultrasonic fuel sensor, SmartPower electric standby (standard or high-output), remote monitoring lights, a fuel heater, a frost plug heater, a 65-amp 12V alternator, an i-Box interface, Whisper quiet technology, a chrome appearance package, and a PrimAir bulkhead and duct system. Used and refurbished units with fewer than 23,000 engine hours may qualify for Thermo King's manufacturer-backed Certified Pre-Owned program, which reconditions eligible units with genuine Thermo King parts under one of several coverage tiers and backs them with a manufacturer's warranty. Available in New and Used condition.
