Cold storage logistic centers, food and beverage plants and port facilities play an important role in the global food supply chain. Compliance to CARB and EPA requirements is making standby electric shore power at each site more important, which requires use of reefer wiring devices.

MENNEKES offers a robust range of wiring devices and switched receptacle systems to ensure safety and reliability for operators in supply chain refrigeration logistics during the storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive goods.

Electrical and Safety Requirements

Food infrastructure environments require electrical devices that can withstand the rigors of constant use in harsh outdoor conditions when operating at 380-440Vac or 460-480Vac.  

If providing electric power to sea containers or truck trailer units, our wiring devices are offered in each configuration to ensure compatibility with 32A sea-container reefers and Vector or Precedent 30A electric standby refrigeration units.  

Designed for durability with corrosion-resistant materials, our products can withstand dust, dirt and water to extend device lifespan and reduce your maintenance costs. Power distribution units for loading dock power are offered in non-metallic or stainless-steel enclosures and feature switched and interlocked receptacles to enhance operator safety.

Configurable Power Distribution Systems

AMAXX® configurable power distribution units offer a safe and cost-effective solution for reefer receptacles in dock and trailer staging areas. A modular design allows for different receptacle voltages. Optionable overcurrent protection can support multiple receptacles in one enclosure. Electric refrigeration reduces shore power refrigeration cost with increased efficiency, quieter operation and reduced emissions.
