Advantages of Using Refrigerated Trucks

 

 

When you think of refrigerated trucks, its purpose is pretty obvious – to transfer goods that needs to be refrigerated from one place to another. However, there are more advantages that come with it than you could actually see.

Refrigerated trucks are used not only to transport perishable products but also medical supplies, artwork, or anything that needs constantly cool temperature to maintain its freshness and quality. If you have a business that handles these kinds of products, investing in a good refrigerated truck is a great decision. Here are the top benefits of having your own refrigerated truck for your business.


Keeps the Goods Protected

Aside from keeping the products fresh, a fridge truck also keeps your products protected from a lot of factors during transport. Fridge trucks can be locked, keeping the products safe from theft especially when travelling long distances. It also keeps the goods protected from harsh weather conditions and other damaging factors outside.

Versatility

Refrigerated trucks aren’t just for single type of product. It can be used for different purposes – transporting dairy, eat, fish, medical, and even chemical products. If you have multiple businesses that require transporting different kinds of perishable products, it would be more convenient and efficient for you to invest in your own refrigerated truck rather than renting one. As long as you follow the right care and maintenance of refrigerated vans, they will surely last for a long time.

Different Sizes to Choose From

Not all refrigerated vans are huge ones. There are actually a wide variety of sizes you can choose from depending on what you need. For instance, if you’re transporting a smaller amount of perishable goods, you can opt for smaller trucks rather than the big ones. However, if you’re planning to expand your business later on, investing in a bigger sized refrigerated truck will be worth it and will pay off later on. It is definitely a win-win investment when you consider its purpose.

Perfect for Long Distance Travel

One of the best benefits you could have when using refrigerated trucks is the capacity to transport and keep products fresh even on long distances. You can use it to transport perishable goods from one state to another and even across countries. As long as its refrigeration capacity is at its optimum performance plus it is well maintained, you can definitely expect so many things with your refrigerated truck.

Temperature Control

Different products need different temperatures to keep them fresh. For instance, you’ll need lower or freezing temperatures when you’re transporting meat and fish. If you’re only transporting flowers, you’ll only need cool temperature to maintain their moisture and keep them looking fresh and lively. When choosing fridge trucks, always check its temperature capacity to know if it suits your products.

Investing in a good refrigerated truck is a good way to increase the productivity of your business. With proper handling, care and maintenance of your refrigerated truck, your investment will surely pay off in the long run.

Refrigerated Vans for Deliveries and Trailers for Storage

Image
Several news articles published this past spring described the good work of a well-known online supermarket that donated refrigerated vans to local food charities. What the company did was both honorable and very helpful to the charities in question. News reports explained that the purpose of the donations was to give food charities the means of delivering more fresh foods – like perishable fruits, vegetables, and meats – to recipients rather than just canned and dry goods. That is a great goal to pursue. Hopefully the food charities are not using the vans for storage as well. In short, refrigerated vans are for deliveries while refrigerated trailers are for storage. There really is no comparison when you are looking at a cold storage solution for more than a couple of hours at a time. Trailers Offer More Capacity One of the first things to note about refrigerated trailers is that, compared to refrigerated van hire, they offer more c...
