Why are reefer trucks needed?

Some cargoes that require a specific temperature during transportation:

• Food products: Meat, fish, frozen vegetables.
• Flowers and floral products.
• Medicines, medical preparations.
• Cosmetic products.
• Other cargoes with special storage conditions.

To ensure their preservation during transportation over long distances or in conditions of high or low ambient temperature, they require compliance with the temperature regime. That is, the temperature inside the vehicle must be within specified limits. It is for such transportation that reefer trucks are used.

Characteristics of reefers used for cargo transportation

For the transportation of perishable products, semi-trailers with a volume of 30 to 90 cubic meters are usually used. The internal dimensions of the most commonly used semi-trailer are 13.65 x 2.4 x 2.6 m. Such a semi-trailer can accommodate 33 euro pallets. The transportation of the reefer trailer is carried out by a tractor unit. Reefers can maintain the required temperature in the cargo compartment within the range of +12 to -20 ℃, at an ambient temperature of -30 to +30 ℃. Each reefer is equipped with a thermograph - an automatic temperature recorder, which allows monitoring the required temperature in the van throughout the transportation journey.

For transporting light but bulky cargoes, such as flowers, reefer truck combinations are better suited. Sometimes it is necessary to send a relatively small batch of goods that require compliance with the temperature regime during transit or several small batches of goods, each requiring a different temperature regime. For such transportation, sectional reefers are used. In such reefers, the cargo compartment is divided into sections, each of which can maintain its own temperature regime.

Where can cargo be sent by reefer truck?

Delivery of cargo by reefer trucks is only possible between points that have road connections. In other cases, it is necessary to order combined delivery, for example, by sea transport and reefer. Direct delivery by reefer truck is possible within the Eurasian continent. Russia, China, European countries, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Transcaucasia are connected by roads, and transportation by reefer trucks between them is possible.

Who needs the transportation of cargo by reefers?

Everyone who sends perishable goods or goods that require a special temperature regime should use reefers. This primarily applies to companies engaged in food products, medicines, and flowers.

Choosing a carrier for perishable goods transportation

It should be noted that only large transport companies can afford to regularly update their fleet, and they also offer the best additional services related to cargo insurance and customs clearance. Small transport companies, especially private carriers, usually cannot guarantee quality delivery of cargo but offer lower prices.
