Why the Precedent S-750i

  • Shore power, built in

    An electrically driven scroll compressor cuts operating costs on shore power.

  • Frozen capacity at -20°F

    Delivers 26,500 BTU/hr at -20°F on diesel and 25,500 BTU/hr on shore power, at 100°F ambient and high-speed engine operation.

  • A 50-state solution

    Built on the proven S-Series engine, it meets current and proposed CARB ULETRU emissions without a DPF, so it runs in all 50 states.

  • Fewer engine run hours

    Quicker pull-down and recovery from null, plus smart use of three engine speeds, mean fewer engine run hours and less engine maintenance.

  • TracKing from the factory

    Every S-750i is factory-equipped with TracKing telematics for temperature monitoring, rapid alarm detection and door-open security alerts.

  • Next-generation controller

    A full-color, high-resolution display designed for ease of use, with proactive alarms that show a recommended next best action.

Thermo King built the S-750i on its proven S-Series engine. It meets current and proposed CARB ULETRU emissions without a DPF, so it runs in all 50 states. It uses R452A refrigerant.

Built to plug in.

What Thermo King changed in the S-750i, and what it means at the dock and on the road.

Shore power, built in.

The shore power receptacle on a Precedent S-750i, with its red plug connected

Plug in at the dock and an electrically driven Thermo King scroll compressor does the work, which cuts shore power operating costs. 460-volt, 3-phase AC shore power is standard.

  • Fewer emissions than diesel
  • At least 3 decibels quieter than running the diesel engine
  • Fewer engine hours, so less engine maintenance and a longer unit life

Benefits of shore power operation.

Three engine speeds.

Quicker pull-down and recovery from null, and smart use of three engine speeds, mean fewer engine run hours and less engine maintenance.

  • First use of a diesel-electric architecture with integrated shore power
  • First use of a 3-speed engine
  • First use of a next-generation control system
