Heat King 450 Series

Dependable freeze protection while shipping temperature-sensitive cargo requires special consideration when transporting road trailers or containers on railways. Harsh weather, climate fluctuations, and long standby times during loading and unloading require a powerful and robust cargo heating solution.

With 50,000 BTUs, the Heat King is the highest-capacity transport heater available in the market today. Offering powerful airflow that circulates throughout the entire cargo area and variable speeds for optimal fuel economy, the Heat King 450 Series is built for the task.

Solar Benefits on a Heat King

Heaters sit all summer and likely were not fully charged at the end of last season. Adding ThermoLite^® 40W solar panels to your Heat King offers:

Increased battery life: Keeping batteries charged all year round will negate failure from extended periods of low charge levels and proliferation of sulfation
Fuel savings: Reduces load on the engine with alternator working less and reduced cycle-sentry operation
Extended component life: Run time is reduced, alternator offloading and reduced starter engagement
Improved employee efficiency: Cuts time spent managing low battery alarms and battery breakdowns
