RailRunner Announces ReeferPro 100

LEXINGTON, MA, November 13, 2009 – RailRunner™, N.A., Inc., developer and marketer of advanced container-based intermodal transport systems, today announced availability of its Model ReeferProTM 100 chassis for temperature-controlled ISO containers.

ReeferPro 100 was developed specifically for shippers of produce, frozen or refrigerated foods, pharmaceuticals and other products requiring temperature controlled transportation. Shippers may now take full advantage of the many benefits of shipping via rail due to this convenient, safe, uninterrupted cold chain technology. Ports, inland terminals and shippers no longer need to supply their own power plugs, hazardous fueling capacities and/or gensets for supplying electric power to containers while parked, during road movements or on rail, simplifying both the supply chain and backhaul opportunities.

RailRunner’s bi-modal ReeferPro 100 chassis provides an air-cushion suspension on rail, especially suitable for sensitive and fragile cargo, up to six-day uninterrupted power supply, and continuous monitoring of fuel supply and GPS location. For modem-equipped containers, ReeferPro can also monitor cargo temperature, humidity and air circulation.

ReeferPro 100 enables a shipper to load a refrigerated container at a farm or food processor and, without requiring any cranes or other expensive lifting equipment, to seamlessly ship by rail and/or road, providing “doorto- door”, same-box, temperature-controlled service. For domestic applications, ReeferPro 100 obviates the need for internal container gensets, which increases cube and lowers tare weight and cost.

ReeferPro 100 is a rail-qualified chassis compatible with RailRunner’s established line of air-ride, bimodal products. It includes a side-mounted genset and fuel tank that can supply up to six days of uninterrupted power to an ISO temperature-controlled 40 ft. refrigerated container. The genset and fuel tank are mounted to provide for vertical and horizontal road and rail clearance, using high-security, tamper-proof enclosures. ReeferPro 100 carries a payload of 45,620 lbs. or 20,200 kg.
