ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a meat rail support system for refrigerator trailers having post-free, foam-filled walls. An outer top rail of the trailer side wall is secured to the outer skin of the side wall. An inwardly extending flange is positioned above the side wall and is either integral with the top rail or riveted thereto for the acceptance of a meat rail support beam.
In one embodiment, an inner side wall top rail of low heat conducting material, for example, FRP plastic, is secured to a plastic inner skin of the side wall and has an outwardly extending flange positioned above the wall. A meat rail support beam extends transversely across the trailer and rests on the flanges of the inner and outer top rails. Fastening means are located between the inner and outer skins of the side wall so as to transfer loads on the meat rail support beam relatively equally to both the inner and outer side wall skins.
In another embodiment, the meat rail support beams are secured to an inwardly extending flange on a roof rail. The inner plastic skin of the side wall is secured directly to the top rail thereof. Heat transfer from the inner walls of the trailers to the exterior thereof in both embodiments is minimized by suitable thermal breaks.
