Sales FAQ
Answers to the questions Jilco hears most often from businesses buying a refrigerated trailer for their fleet.
Have a question not listed here?
Contact JilcoDoes Jilco sell refrigerated trailers, or only lease?
Both. Jilco sells refrigerated trailers outright and also offers leasing and rental options if you'd rather not buy. Ownership makes sense for some operations, while leasing keeps maintenance and long-term cost off your plate for others. Contact Jilco to discuss which approach fits your budget and how the trailer will be used.
Do purchased refrigerated trailers come with a warranty?
A 30-day limited warranty is available in most cases on trailers Jilco sells. Every trailer is fully serviced and federally inspected before delivery, so it arrives ready to operate. Contact Jilco for warranty details specific to the trailer you're considering, since coverage can vary by unit.
What sizes of refrigerated trailers does Jilco offer?
Jilco offers 28', 36', 48', and 53' refrigerated trailers, covering everything from tighter dock access and shorter hauls to full-size long-haul freight. The same fleet serves single-trailer leases, purchases, and full fleet buildouts, so contact Jilco to talk through which size best fits your cargo volume and route.
What manufacturers does Jilco carry, and is Carrier or Thermo King better?
Jilco carries Carrier and Thermo King refrigeration equipment — both industry-standard manufacturers, fully supported by Jilco's certified technicians. Trailer availability, not brand, usually decides which unit you get, though Jilco will do its best to match a preference if you have one. Contact Jilco for current inventory.
Can Jilco help me choose the right trailer to buy?
Yes. Jilco's team will walk you through refrigerated trailer types, sizes, and manufacturers to help you choose the right configuration for your operation before you commit to a purchase. This consultation is free and doesn't require any commitment — contact Jilco to start the conversation.
What should I check before buying a used refrigerated trailer?
Confirm the trailer has been fully serviced and federally inspected, ask about the refrigeration unit's manufacturer and service history, and confirm what warranty coverage applies before you buy. Every trailer Jilco sells already meets this standard — contact Jilco for inspection documentation and warranty details on a specific unit you're considering.
