ThinLINE® Container Refrigeration Unit

The container refrigeration unit industry standard for quality, performance and long-term reliability.

Now celebrating 30 years of service to the industry, the ThinLINE® model uses Carrier’s reciprocating compressor technology and remains the preferred choice of many fleets. The ThinLINE brand has seen a steady progression of refinements over the years, but one thing has remained constant: its track record of reliable service—the longest of any container refrigeration unit on the market.

  • Non-ozone-depleting HFC-134a 06D compressor is the industry standard for reliability and efficiency in container applications.
  • Industry benchmark for service training.
  • The popularity of the ThinLINE unit is associated with its simplicity and durability, and proven familiarity to end users and service centers performing maintenance and repairs.

The field proven compressor that stops at nothing.

  • The ThinLINE is equipped with Carrier’s 06D semi hermetic compressor.
  • Proven reliability has made Carrier’s non-ozone depleting HFC-R134a 06D compressor the workhorse of the industry.
  • Designed to handle the rigors of container refrigeration, the 06D has become the standard throughout the container industry.

Nothing protects your sensitive cargo like ThinLINE.

  • Carrier ThinLINE is the industry standard for balanced system design for container refrigeration.
  • The exclusive balanced system design maximizes investment in reefer equipment and delivers maximum protection for every temperature-sensitive cargo carried.
  • ThinLINE delivers outstanding performance and reliability, saving hundreds of dollars in annual operating cost, per system, versus competitive units.
  • Overall, ThinLINE brings you exceptional operating efficiency, precise intelligent electronic control, and field proven reliability from the world leader in transport refrigeration.

  • The reliable workhorse of the industry: Carrier’s field-proven 06D compressor.
  • Non-ozone-depleting HFC-134a refrigerant.
  • State-of-the-art electrostatically coated copper fin, tube, and more efficient formed condenser coil for better airflow, coated with Carrier’s time-tested and patent electrocoating process, or E-coating, for superior corrosion protection.
  • Modified evaporator coil orientation allows for better airflow and improved defrost performance.
  • Precisely aligned, high-efficiency evaporator fan motors and vaneaxial fans reduce fan heat and improve cooling capacity.
  • Lighter, more efficient 3-phase motor; optimized condenser fan adds to improved efficiency
  • Micro-Link® 3 microprocessor controller. Program upgrades and DataCorder™ downloads in seconds with the DataBank™ PC card. Backward compatibility with Micro-Link®2i controller ensures seamless transition to Micro-Link 3 controller.
  • Auto defrost takes the guesswork out of setting defrost intervals.
  • The receiver has an aluminized coating for corrosion resistance.
