The Reefer Power Problem

Every day across Malaysia, thousands of reefer containers full of perishable cargo are hauled by prime movers between ports, warehouses, and distribution centres. The problem? When a reefer container is on a truck, it needs continuous power to maintain temperature.

• Container reefer units need 32A or 415V three-phase power to maintain set temperatures during transit
• Without power, reefer temperatures rise within 30 minutes — perishable cargo spoils fast
• Drivers rely on yard power points that are often unavailable, occupied, or too far
• Long-haul routes between Port Klang, Pasir Gudang, and Penang have limited reefer plug-in points
• Food safety regulations require unbroken cold chain documentation — any temperature breach is a compliance failure
• Downtime at rest stops or breakdowns means cargo loss worth tens of thousands per container

The solution: A mounted generator on the prime mover itself. The truck carries its own power source — no need to find a plug point, no risk of temperature breach, no cargo loss. Your reefer stays cold from origin to destination.

Complete Prime Mover Generator Solutions

Mega Genset Malaysia supplies diesel generators specifically designed for mounting on prime mover trucks. We understand the logistics industry — your cargo, your schedule, and your cold chain depend on reliable power.

Reefer Container Power

Our generators are sized to power standard reefer container units:

• Carrier Transicold & Thermo King reefers — compatible with all major reefer brands
• 32A / 415V three-phase output — matches standard reefer power requirements
• Continuous power during transit — reefer stays cold even while the truck is moving
• Yard power backup — power reefers at yards without plug points
• Emergency power at breakdowns — if the truck breaks down, the reefer stays cold
• Remote yard operations — power reefers at off-grid or temporary storage yards

Typical sizes: 25kVA for single reefer container, 30-60kVA for twin-reefer setups, 100kVA+ for prime movers hauling multiple reefer trailers.

Built for Truck Mounting

These generators are engineered for the road — vibration-resistant, compact, and road-legal:

• Vibration-damped mounting — built for highway speeds and rough Malaysian roads
• Compact canopy design — fits between cab and fifth wheel without interfering with trailer coupling
• Weatherproof enclosure — rain, dust, and stone-chip resistant for open-road conditions
• Fuel-efficient operation — low diesel consumption for long-haul routes
• Auto-start integration — starts automatically when reefer power is needed, stops when temperature is stable
• Remote monitoring — GSM-based monitoring for fuel level, run hours, and fault alerts

Sizing Guide: Which Generator Does Your Prime Mover Need?

Choosing the right generator size depends on how many reefer containers you haul and the power requirements of each unit. Here’s a quick reference:

” alt=”Prime mover generator mounted on truck chassis Malaysia” data-orig-src=”https://genset.com.my/wp-content/uploads/prime-mover-generator-inarticle-1-scaled.jpg” />

Single Reefer Container: ~15 kW load ? 25 kVA generator. Standard 40ft reefer with one compressor unit.

Twin Reefer (2 containers): ~30 kW load ? 30-60 kVA generator. Two reefer units powered simultaneously.

Yard Power Backup: ~40 kW load ? 60 kVA generator. Multiple reefers at yard without grid power.

Heavy Multi-Reefer Haulier: ~75 kW load ? 100 kVA generator. Fleet of reefers, yard operations.

Note: These are guidelines only. Actual sizing depends on your specific reefer units, ambient temperatures, and whether you need to power reefers simultaneously or sequentially. Book a free site assessment for an accurate recommendation.
