Equipment

Why Coolabah cooling equipment?

Coolabah Cooling Solutions are engineered for durability, efficiency and long-term performance in demanding transport environments.
A key feature is the variable compressor speed (1500-4500 RPM), which optimises cooling output while reducing strain on components. This results in:

  • Longer service intervals
  • Extended compressor lifespan
  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Consistent cabin temperature control

The system also intelligently manages airflow and refrigerant pressure through:

  • Variable speed condenser fan
  • Auto-adjusting evaporator fan speed
  • Smart energy management for balanced performance

Coolabah systems utilise LFP (LiFePO4) lithium battery chemistry, purpose-built for the transport industry. Benefits include:

  • Up to 10-year battery lifespan
  • Over 4,000 charge cycles
  • 4-year lithium battery warranty
  • Superior thermal stability
  • High safety profile
  • Consistent voltage output

Unlike older lithium technologies, LFP batteries are safer, more stable and better suited to heavy vehicle applications.

Coolabah offers purpose-designed 24V battery systems engineered specifically for transport applications.

These systems provide:

  • Maximum energy capacity
  • Optimised overnight run time
  • Stable voltage delivery
  • Efficient charging performance
  • Compact, space-efficient installation

This makes Coolabah ideal for drivers wanting reliable overnight cooling without excessive idling.

“Developing a product fit by design, the Coolabah was born. Supplying the trucking industry with a unit, that produces virtually no noise, is lighter and smaller, runs for more than one night on one battery charge, but still powerful enough to cool in the hottest Australian temperatures, was the first priority for the development of the Coolabah”

Why choose Auto Comfort to install your Coolabah products?

Lithium-Powered

Lithium-Powered Sleeper Cab Cooling

Coolabah sleeper cab cooling systems run on advanced lithium battery technology, allowing drivers to enjoy powerful air conditioning without running the truck engine. This eliminates unnecessary idling, reduces fuel consumption and provides reliable cooling during rest periods.

Comfortable

Quiet, Comfortable Rest

Coolabah systems are designed to operate extremely quietly, helping drivers achieve a better night’s sleep while parked. With significantly lower noise levels than traditional diesel-powered systems, drivers can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable cabin environment.

Australian

Built for Australian Conditions

Designed and engineered for Australia’s harsh climate, Coolabah units deliver reliable cooling performance even during extreme summer temperatures. These systems are trusted by trucking companies across the country for their durability and efficiency.

Battery Technology

Long Run-Time Battery Technology

Coolabah systems use advanced lithium battery solutions that recharge while you drive. Depending on the battery configuration, systems can run for many hours — often overnight or up to a full day — ensuring consistent comfort for long-haul drivers.

Engine Wear

Lower Fuel Costs & Engine Wear

Because the system runs independently of the truck’s engine, drivers no longer need to idle their truck overnight. This dramatically reduces fuel usage, engine wear and maintenance costs while improving overall fleet efficiency.
