Service facts
What it is
Refrigerated trucking moves products that must stay within a temperature range, such as fresh produce, meat, dairy, frozen food and other temperature-sensitive goods. The trailer's refrigeration unit holds the setpoint you specify for the whole trip.
Equipment and monitoring
Trailers hold a setpoint from -20°C up to ambient. Each unit reports temperature, humidity, door openings and GPS position while the load is moving, and an alert is raised if the reading moves away from the setpoint. The trailer is pre-cooled to setpoint before loading.
Records
The complete temperature log, timestamped and exportable, is delivered with every shipment.
What to send for a quote
Send the commodity, the setpoint and allowed range, continuous or cycle mode, the pallet count and weight, the pickup and delivery addresses with appointment windows, and a contact who can make decisions if a temperature alert is raised outside business hours.
