Transport cooling pioneers since 1938
Thermo King reefer units, supplied, fitted and serviced across Kerala.
Thermo King work runs through our Bus and Reefer division at Kalamassery: a unit matched to the vehicle and the cargo temperature, body integration, and service with OEM parts at the workshop or in the field.
The original inventors of transport refrigeration, Thermo King remains the most widely deployed truck and van reefer brand in the world. Their India lineup covers urban city-distribution vans through to self-powered rigid truck units for chilled and frozen cargo, with engineering focused on pull-down speed, temperature hold, and low total cost of ownership across a working fleet life.
HRS role
HRS is a major authorised Thermo King dealer and service partner in Kerala, covering van and truck refrigeration with OEM parts and field service support and supplementary reefer body building services across South India.

Why HRS for Thermo King
HRS, Kerala's Thermo King Expert
A major authorised Thermo King dealer, with the reefer body built under the same roof.
We fit Thermo King units to bodies built at our own Kalamassery facility, so the unit mounting, the evaporator position, the door seals and the airflow through the load are designed together rather than adjusted after the fact. When a unit needs attention later, the team that fitted it is the one that services it.
A Thermo King installation checklist
Every installation follows a checklist written for Thermo King equipment, not a generic one, alongside the safety standards the job carries, under our ISO 45001 certified safety system. You will rarely see any of it once the work is done, which is exactly why it is not left to habit.
Trained by Thermo King
Our technicians are trained by Thermo King on installing, repairing and servicing Thermo King equipment, so the work on your site follows the manufacturer's own method.
A direct line to Thermo King
We work with Thermo King on a direct, personal basis. A question the manual does not settle goes to the manufacturer's own people, not to guesswork on site.

Trust facts
- 90 years of transport refrigeration engineering - Thermo King created the category and has led it since.
- T-Series units are engineered for 50,000+ annual operating hours with documented uptime performance in demanding distribution environments.
- Global OEM parts network with strong India availability, reducing fleet downtime when components need replacement.
Why this brand stands out
Self-powered T-Series diesel units run independently of the truck engine - temperature is maintained during loading, unloading, traffic stops, and overnight parking.
RV 380 and RV 580 are optimised for Indian city-delivery vans: compact, lightweight, and designed specifically for the repeated door-open duty cycles of intra-city distribution.
The e-Series (e200, e1000) is Thermo King's all-electric platform for operators planning zero-emission fleet transitions in urban delivery corridors.

Product categories that feature Thermo King.
The equipment categories where Thermo King is usually shortlisted.
Transport Refrigeration
Reefer Direct Drive Units
Direct-drive reefer units are most relevant for lighter commercial vehicles and route patterns where engine-driven simplicity is valuable. They work best when paired with a low-leakage insulated body, sliding strip curtains, and doors that operators can open and close quickly during urban delivery work.

Transport Refrigeration
Reefer Diesel Drive Units
Diesel-drive reefer systems matter when capacity, pull-down performance, service intervals, and uptime discipline become more important than simple vehicle-driven refrigeration. They are best suited to truck-focused distribution work where the body also needs high insulation, low air leakage, reduced air exchange, and clear temperature-range planning.

Common questions about Thermo King.
- What Thermo King model suits a city-delivery van or light truck?
- For city-delivery vans and lighter trucks, the RV 380 and RV 580 are the usual starting point because they are compact and built for repeated stop-and-open duty. For larger insulated box trucks carrying chilled or frozen cargo over longer routes, the T-Series covers the heavier-duty side of the requirement.
- Why do operators use Thermo King instead of vehicle comfort AC for cargo work?
- Thermo King units are built specifically for transport refrigeration. They are designed for pull-down, recovery after door openings, road vibration, long operating hours, and temperature hold during loading or traffic delays. A comfort AC system is not built for that kind of cargo-duty cycle.
- Is the all-electric e-Series relevant yet for Kerala fleets?
- It is mainly relevant for operators planning ahead for electric vehicles, lower-noise operation, or future urban emission requirements. Most Kerala fleets still run diesel-powered RV and T-Series units today, but the e-Series is part of the longer-term cold-chain conversation.
