They are charged overnight with an electric powered refrigeration compressor while a truck is parked. The next day, the truck is un-plugged, and the shipment is keep cold all day with the re-usable eutectic solution inside the plate.

It is just that simple. Dole Refrigerating Co. will help you estimate the hardware needed for your next truck body or to retrofit your current body. Visit their website www.doleref.com for more information.

Dole’s Eutectic Holdover Plates are the answer for mobile refrigeration and are the alternative to mechanical refrigeration systems. Dole’s holdover plates are designed to maintain a constant temperature, or holdover, throughout the course of a day. The plates are then “recharged” by connecting them to a condensing unit. After charging, the holdover plates are ready to maintain refrigerating temperatures for an entire work cycle.
