Over 725 late-model refrigerated intermodal containers are available for immediate sale following the closure of Tiger Cool Express. Tiger Cool Express was an intermodal operator specializing in refrigerated, temperature-controlled freight on the Union Pacific and BNSF for produce, wine and frozen goods. Tiger Cool Express struggled as the intermodal market declined amid reduced demand and low trucking rates. The company operated a late-model fleet of CIMC Insulated Containers with Carrier Refrigeration units, which are available for immediate sale by PPL Group and Quest Leasing.
The equipment, which includes 2022 Slimline and Standard containers, 2022 Insulated containers — without refrigeration units — and 2015 assets, are located in Chicago. "This is a terrific opportunity for Intermodal operators to take advantage of late model, well maintained equipment available for immediate purchase and delivery," said Jordan Ayers of Quest Leasing.
