Carrier Transicold Unveils Next Generation TRU Status Light for Enhanced Visibility

Carrier Transicold has introduced its TRU Status Light, providing high-visibility indicators of transport refrigeration unit (TRU) operations in a robust, water-resistant package. Carrier Transicold is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions. 

Designed with drivers and yard personnel in mind, the TRU Status Light offers two distinct LED patterns: a white circle that indicates normal operation and a yellow triangle that signals an alarm on the TRU controller display. It mounts on the front corner of the trailer and ensures quick status checks from the driver’s seat or the ground. 

“Our TRU Status Light tells you at a glance whether the TRU is working as expected or needs attention,” said Ching Yue Yeung, Senior Manager, Aftermarket Products, Carrier Transicold. “This patented design is based on input from customers who want a simple, reliable unit status that’s easy to see and understand.” 

Key features include: 

• Enhanced visibility: The TRU Status Light adjusts its output automatically, increasing brightness in direct sunlight or reflective conditions and dimming at night for less glare and safer operation. 

• Sealed design: The compact, IP67-rated housing and lens are built to withstand harsh environments. The housing is UV-resistant and sealed to keep out dust, moisture and road grime. 

• TRU compatibility: The TRU Status Light seamlessly integrates with Carrier Transicold APX, Advance and Summit controllers, as well as other TRU makes. 

• Flexible installation options: Carrier Transicold offers multiple kits tailored for specific installation needs, including L-bracket and recessed bracket options. The brackets make it easy to upgrade existing light bars. 

The TRU Status Light comes standard on new Carrier Transicold trailer TRUs and is available as an aftermarket replacement for legacy light bars through Carrier Transicold dealers. Harness adapters and splitter harnesses are also available. Aftermarket accessories, such as the TRU Status Light, complement Carrier Transicold’s Performance Parts line, which is designed to maintain peak performance and operating efficiency of Carrier Transicold systems.
