Who calls

One vehicle or a fleet. A haulier, a hire company, or the person who keeps the fridge on the road.

Call 0116 403 4444. Give the make of the unit, where it is standing, and whether you need a service, a breakdown, a retro-fit or a cab recharge.

Artifis Reefer is based in Leicester, on the M1 in the East Midlands. That puts the engineer on the same road as the distribution yards, cold stores and truck stops between junction 20 and junction 34: Magna Park at Lutterworth, Leicester and the A46, Loughborough, East Midlands Gateway and Castle Donington by East Midlands Airport, Nottingham, Mansfield and the A38, Chesterfield, Markham Vale and Sheffield.

Refrigerated vans, rigids and trailers are attended where they stand: the operator's yard, a distribution centre, a dealer forecourt or a lay-by on the corridor. Say the junction or the postcode on the call.

What is attended

• Fridge vans: Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, Boxer and similar conversions, nose-mount and roof-mount units
• Rigids and 7.5 t to 26 t box trucks, single and multi-temperature
• 13.6 m and 40 ft reefer trailers, double-deck, diesel drive and electric standby
• Thermo King, Carrier Transicold, Frigoblock, GAH, Hubbard, Zanotti, Schmitz, Webasto, Eberspächer
• HGV cab air conditioning and construction plant air conditioning

Do you repair fridge vans and reefer trailers on site?

Yes. The engineer comes to the vehicle with the recovery, vacuum and charging equipment, so a home-delivery van, a rigid or a 40 ft trailer is repaired where it is standing, on the M1 corridor from Leicester to Sheffield.

Which transport refrigeration units do you work on?

Thermo King, Carrier Transicold, Frigoblock, GAH, Hubbard, Zanotti and Schmitz Cargobull units, nose-mount and undermount, single and multi-temperature, diesel drive and electric standby.

Do you issue a calibration certificate?

Yes. On a maintenance visit the temperature recorder and the unit are checked and a calibration certificate is issued for your cold chain records.

Can an old refrigerant be retro-fitted?

Yes. The ozone-depleting refrigerant is recovered and sent for disposal under F-Gas, and the unit is either re-charged with a current drop-in refrigerant and an oil change or replaced with a new unit. Artifis is a REFCOM F-Gas certified company.

Do you do HGV cab air conditioning?

Yes. De-gas, repair and recharge for truck cabs and construction plant, done at the yard, the depot or the quarry.

Where do you cover?

Leicestershire to Sheffield and the M1 corridor between them: Leicester, Lutterworth, Loughborough, Castle Donington, Nottingham, Mansfield, Chesterfield and Sheffield. If the vehicle is standing off the corridor, say so on the call.
