Temperature-controlled transport in refrigerated vehicles
For temperature-controlled transport, the permitted range, deviations, packaging, checkpoints and documents are agreed in advance. Feasibility of the required conditions and the refrigerated vehicle's specifications are confirmed for the specific cargo and route.
Benefits of refrigerated transport
Agreement on the required temperature range before dispatch
Protection against external temperature effects
Agreement on the temperature monitoring method
Compatibility checks for goods, packaging and equipment
Checks of applicable sanitary and documentation requirements
Required reporting recorded in the transport request and contract
Our capabilities
Modern refrigerated vehicles
The refrigerated vehicle is selected according to the required temperature range, volume and loading conditions.
Multiple temperature zones
A multi-temperature arrangement is considered only after checking cargo compatibility and available equipment.
Temperature monitoring
The method for recording and transmitting temperature data is agreed for the specific vehicle.
Qualified specialists
Drivers experienced in handling temperature-sensitive cargo and familiar with its specific transport requirements.
Data recording
Temperature recording requirements are specified before the vehicle is booked.
Requirements for food cargo
The sanitary conditions and documents applicable to the specific product are checked before transport.
How to agree temperature requirements
Transport temperature is determined by the requirements of the specific product. Before the vehicle arrives, agree the permitted range, cargo condition at loading and monitoring procedure.
Cargo requirements
Provide the shipper's or manufacturer's specification: permitted temperature, packaging and acceptance conditions. Requirements may differ for products within the same category.
Preparation and equipment
Confirm the cargo temperature before loading and the preparation of the cargo compartment. The unit's capabilities and agreed setpoint must suit the specific shipment.
In-transit monitoring
Record what is measured and where, how readings are stored and who makes decisions in the event of a deviation. Air temperature and product temperature are different measurements.
