Universal parking coolers for trucks and commercial vehicles.
BAS Parts & Tyres offers a wide range of universal parking coolers suitable for virtually any type of truck, commercial vehicle, or motorhome. These systems keep the cabin at a comfortable temperature while the vehicle is stationary — without the need to run the engine. A universal parking cooler is the ideal solution for drivers seeking more comfort and better rest during waiting times or overnight stays on the road.
What exactly is a universal parking cooler?
A universal parking cooler is an electrically powered air conditioning system that operates independently of the engine. This means you can cool the cabin while the engine is switched off. These coolers are available in both 12V and 24V versions, making them suitable for a wide range of vehicles — from trucks and motorhomes to vans and off-road machinery.
