All-Electric Refrigeration Systems / The Johnson RouteMax™ Solution

With your growing business demands, the last thing you need to worry about is your product shipment. RouteMax all-electric clean and green refrigeration provides continuous heat removal with Johnson’s plate and forced air refrigeration system; they work in tandem to keep trucks within temperature range for optimal product freshness.

What advantages will you see for your business?

Lower Operating Costs. Stop watching the dollars you spend on diesel powered refrigeration go ‘up in smoke’. RouteMax, provides substantial savings over traditional diesel powered refrigeration units because it’s lighter and it operates with electricity generated by the truck’s engine* (with minimal drag on fuel economy) and electric shore power during overnight plug-in.

Lower Maintenance Costs. Eliminate costs to maintain mechanical systems that run constantly and have many moving parts. By contrast, Johnson’s RouteMax solution has very few moving parts resulting in low susceptibility to breakdown.

High Reliability. RouteMax and Johnson Premium Bodies are built to last 15 years or more for multiple chassis turns.

Superior Product Protection. Fast temperature recovery provides additional safety and sustained freshness of products.

Environmental Compatiblility. Significanty reduces diesel fuel consumption and CO2 output; eliminates noise pollution. Automatic defrost will greatly reduce the amount of water and labor needed to defrost plates.

Bottom Line Savings. Add up the value and save up to $6,000 per truck annually when using cold plates versus traditional refrigerated units.

RouteMax is ideal for medium, low temperature and deep frozen product protection ranges for 16-20 hour route deliveries.
