Refrigerated Freight

Refrigerated freight is a transportation service that involves shipping perishable or temperature-sensitive products in trucks equipped with refrigeration or temperature control systems. These trucks, commonly known as "refrigerated" or "reefers," maintain a specific temperature throughout the journey to preserve the quality and safety of the cargo. Types of Refrigerated Freight 1. Conventional Refrigeration: This type uses refrigeration units mounted on the front of the trailer. They are common in transporting perishable foods such as meats, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. 2. Freezing: These are specifically designed to maintain temperatures below zero degrees Celsius, which is ideal for frozen products such as pre-cooked foods, ice cream, or cold-sensitive pharmaceuticals. 3. Multi-Temperature Control: These trailers have the ability to maintain different temperatures in separate sections of the same trailer. Characteristics of Refrigerated Freight: – Advanced Refrigeration Systems: They are equipped with advanced refrigeration systems that can maintain precise temperatures throughout the entire journey, even in extreme weather conditions. – Thermal Insulation: They are designed with insulating materials that help maintain a constant temperature and protect the cargo from sudden external temperature changes. Temperature Monitoring: They are equipped with temperature monitoring systems that allow operators to track and adjust cargo temperature in real time. – Regulatory Compliance: Carriers must comply with strict regulations and sanitary standards to ensure food safety.
