Local context
Working in Letsitele
We service Letsitele packhouse precinct and the surrounding blocks of Letsitele, Tzaneen, with access off the R71 and R529. Long, hot lowveld summers regularly exceed 36 °C, so high-ambient head pressure control and shaded plant rooms are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Carel variable speed drive installation in Letsitele
How fast can a technician service Carel equipment at a reefer container depots site in Letsitele?
Letsitele sits on the R71 and R529, so our Tzaneen dispatch reaches most Letsitele packhouse precinct sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency variable speed drive installation runs 24/7 because a failed pti holds the box and the booking.
Do you stock OEM components for Carel systems?
Yes — Carel EVD Evolution drivers, NTC/ratiometric probes and pGD terminals. Carel (Italy) equipment on R134a/R744 charges is supported with the fast-moving spares held at our Pretoria North workshop and non-stock items brought in on OEM order.
What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every variable speed drive installation job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the SANS 10147 documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Reefer Container Depots run at −30 °C to +12 °C at 80–90% RH, with variable speed drive installation performed against Turndown to 30% of rated duty. A failed PTI holds the box and the booking
