ST. LOUIS, MO — Deb Lemon, vice president Hammond Air Conditioning, is pleased to announce that CSTK, a diversified transportation solutions provider focusing on temperature controlled and fuel reduction products, has become an official dealer for Hammond's Arctic BREEZE Truck AC™ system.  Arctic BREEZE Truck AC is offered in both day cab and sleeper cab configurations. |
“We’re thrilled that an industry leader like CSTK recognizes the value of our battery powered 12V DC truck air conditioning system,” says Lemon. “With 13 service locations and 50 service trucks servicing the states of Kansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Illinois, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, CSTK is a major player in the transportation industry.” According to Allen Lane, CSTK chief operating officer, the company’s decision to represent the Arctic BREEZE line was logical and market driven. “The market is driving the search for alternative air conditioning solutions that are cost efficient and environmentally friendly,” says Lane. “We’ve represented engine driven APUs for over ten years and they’ve done quite well for us. The Arctic BREEZE product meets today’s requirements of the trucking industry. Equally important is that it provides us with an opportunity for a myriad of other markets and applications, including tractors, pivoting cranes, forklifts and other heavy equipment.” Arctic BREEZE systems and parts will be stocked in CSTK’s main locations in Kansas City, Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Wichita and Philadelphia. Arctic BREEZE right fit for CSTK
“Our customers are always looking for affordable engine idle-reduction strategies that are easy to maintain and have a low cost life cycle,” says Lane. “Arctic BREEZE enables us to meet that need in a high value air conditioning system. And, the technology behind the system is a good fit with our company. As well, it adds to our growing line of SmartWay® and CARB approved products.” As a stocking dealer, CSTK is able to install Arctic BREEZE units at any of their 13 service locations, or if more convenient for the customer, at their job site. “We understand that when customers come in, they want to be able to leave with the unit or part installed,” says Lane. “People also like to touch and see what they are buying, so we have set-up demo units within our dealerships that really showcase the product’s capability. The initial reaction from those customers who have seen the Arctic BREEZE system in action is extremely positive. They’re telling us that they really like what they see.” According to Hammond Air Conditioning territory manager, Mark Warnes, “Fleet owners and operators who do the math realize the savings are there with Arctic BREEZE systems,” he says. “They know that even if they lease the product, they are saving more than their lease costs.” Based in Kansas City, CSTK founded in 1975, is a diverse transportation solutions provider of products and services for a variety of mobile applications including transport refrigeration, comfort systems, trailer fairings and skirting, lift gates, fire suppression systems, and trailer repair.
Based in Ingersoll, Ontario, Arctic BREEZE Truck AC from Hammond Air Conditioning is quickly becoming the first choice for a growing number of truck dealers and truck fleets and operators seeking dependable, quality built fully integrated battery powered air cooling systems. The company’s integrated air conditioning experience includes over 700 different vehicle types — everything from mini-excavators to motor graders, from heavy mining and construction equipment to material handlers as well as trucking and marine applications.
