Polar King Mobile PKM68 Refrigerated Trailer
The PKM68 is a compact, highly maneuverable refrigerated trailer that earns its place for small-scale climate controlled equine and biotech loads by delivering tight temperature control with lower capital and operating costs than larger units. Compared with the PKM127 and PKM187, the PKM68 trades capacity for superior fuel efficiency, easier site access and faster cooling recovery—making it the practical, lower-cost choice for single-stall equine transfers or short-run sensitive cargo shipments.
