Summertime means juicy fruit, cold ice cream, and refreshing lemonade. Refrigerated trucks , or “reefer trucks” help deliver fresh produce and other perishable freight to all parts of the country. If you’re hauling reefer freight, it’s important to maintain your trailer so you deliver undamaged and unspoiled goods. Hauling refrigerated cargo can be dangerous because if the trailer’s temperature gets too high or dips too low, your load could be ruined or make people sick. With these tips you can help keep your load safe, so everyone can enjoy the tastes of summer. Wash out your trailer :  If you’re hauling meat, blood can spread across the trailer floor and possibly contaminate your next load. To avoid this, be sure to wash out your trailer after each load. Some warehouses will have a hose you can use. Check the temperature :  Ask the shipper what temperature you should keep the load at. Being off even one degree can spoil the freight. Bacteria can grow if ...

Cargo van insulation is really important in order to moderate the temperature within your van. Typical cargo van conversions will use a panel van as a base vehicle, but the thin metal walls will very easily transfer heat and equalise to external temperatures. If you’re in extremely hot or cold climates this could mean a lot of discomfort. Van insulation will ensure that the temperature equalisation proces is slowed way down and you stay comfortable in your tiny home! This epic insulation guide includes all the research we did when converting Maeve into our all-year-round adventure vehicle. What types of insulation can you use in a cargo van?

The first major step the van building process is insulating your camper van .  As with everything in your van build, it’s important that you understand how something works in order to most effectively do it, so let’s talk about how insulation works.  Insulation has everything to do with heat transfer, of which there are three types: Radiation: Heat transferred through air (i.e. sunlight).  Radiant heat is primarily tied to van windows. Conduction: Heat transferred through solids (i.e. touching something cold and feel your hand get cold).  In other words, if it’s cold outside, the metal body of your van will conduct the heat inside to the outside, cooling the van’s internal temperature.  Vice versa for hot temperatures.  Remember, hot always moves to cold.  When you touch something cold, it feels like the cold is creeping into your hand, but actually, it’s the cold object drawing the heat away. Convection: Heat transferred through liquid or gas (i.e. w...

The use of temperature-controlled vehicles is increasing in popularity year on year. Many businesses now rely heavily on refrigerated vans for the transportation of food, flowers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and many other goods. The nature of the vehicles allows drivers full control over how their goods are handled, and ensures that their produce is delivered safely, securely and in perfect condition. For small businesses, investing in this type of vehicle long-term isn’t always a viable option due to budget restraints, and in some cases it’s not always possible to know if the up-front investment will be worth it or not. This is why more and more companies are heading towards short or long-term leasing, to take the stress and hassle out of the process themselves. If you’re not sure how refrigerated vans can benefit your business, we’re here to give you the rundown on the key elements of the vehicles themselves, and also why renting could just be the perfect investment ...
