Extended warranty coverage for transport refrigeration system sensors and protection against potential refrigerant leaks is available to trucking fleets and owner/operators.

Those coverages, along with a new overtime and call-out coverage (OTCC) program for emergency repairs, are being offered through an expansion of RoadCare Extended Major Component Coverage (EMCC) from Carrier Transicold, a business unit of United Technologies Corp.

The new sensor coverage option covers replacement costs for all factory-installed return, supply, and ambient air sensors, and labor charges to remove and reinstall the bulkhead, when required. The refrigerant leak option covers loss of refrigerant and refrigerant oil and progressive damage to other components for any refrigerant leaks associated with covered major components, joints, hard piping, and vibrasorbers.

OTCC provides protection for emergency breakdown situations in which repairs are required on loaded equipment.

In general, RoadCare EMCC is the coverage that travels with the unit and delivers coast-to-coast protection for major components on all new Carrier Transicold diesel truck, trailer, rail, or intermodal units sold and used in North America. Factory-trained technicians throughout Carrier's North American dealer network provide EMCC service using Performance Parts replacement components.
