Thermo King Units

High-Performance Cooling for Trailers


The SLXi series is Thermo King’s platform of single- and multi-temperature trailer refrigeration units . They are self-contained, diesel-powered units with optional electric standby (Model 50), operating under the advanced Smart Reefer 3 (SR-3) microprocessor controller . Mounted on the front of the trailer, these units provide precise temperature management for a wide range of cargo.

Factory-Direct Supply, Competitive Pricing, and Extensive Inventory

Multistar Parts Co., Ltd. understands that refrigeration units are the backbone of any cold chain operation—and a significant cost center for fleet management. Through our strategic partnership with authorized local Thermo King dealers, we secure direct access to genuine OEM units at dealer-level pricing, far below standard retail rates.

We maintain extensive ready-to-ship inventory across multiple popular models, enabling rapid response and immediate dispatch—minimizing your downtime and eliminating long factory lead times. Whether you’re a fleet operator planning bulk procurement or facing an emergency replacement, we deliver efficient, cost-effective, and reliable supply solutions.

The Thermo King SLXi-200 is a single-temperature trailer refrigeration unit from the advanced SLXi platform, designed to deliver up to 20% fuel savings compared to its predecessor while offering industry-first telematics as a standard feature .

As a member of the SLXi family (which includes the 100, 200, 300, 400, and 300 Whisper Pro models), the SLXi-200 provides intelligent temperature management and full load visibility for modern cold chain operations .
