Transportation of goods requiring temperature regimes by refrigerators

In order to carry out high-quality automobile transportation of perishable products, it is necessary to observe the appropriate temperature regimes. Today, one of the most demanded services on the freight transportation market is refrigerated transportation.

Translated from Latin, the refrigerator means “refrigerated”, “refrigerate”. In the modern world, this concept refers to a vehicle for transporting perishable food products and other goods that require certain temperature regimes. The refrigerator, or rather the refrigerated semi-trailer, is equipped with a refrigerating unit and is able to maintain the temperature inside the body from -20°C to +12°C inclusive. The task of operating refrigerators is to create and maintain the required temperature and humidity regimes in the body during storage and transportation of cargo, provided that the equipment operates safely.

Refrigerated semi-trailers are a necessary link in a continuous refrigeration chain, maintaining the necessary temperature for storing cargo when it is moved from one link to another. The importance of truck refrigerators is especially great for regions with significant distances between the points of production of goods and the places of their further processing, storage or consumption.

Types of refrigerators

Refrigerated machines can be single-chamber, double-chamber and two-tier. Two-chamber, by analogy with household refrigerators, are used for simultaneous transportation of chilled and frozen products.

Freight transportation by refrigerators requires careful adherence to delivery terms, as well as maintenance of the required temperature regime throughout the entire journey of the cargo. In cases of long-term transportation, violation of the necessary temperature regimes threatens the spoilage of the goods.

Requirements for transportation by refrigerators

Goods that require a certain storage temperature are most often transported in refrigerators, such as:

  • food,
  • frozen foods,
  • vegetables and fruits,
  • cosmetics,
  • medical drugs,
  • flowers, plants.

Transportation of perishable products, namely confectionery, meat and fish, chocolate and candies, flowers and fruits, is strictly limited by time. Congestion of roads, road works, as well as force majeure circumstances may cause delays in cargo delivery. A mandatory condition is to maintain the required (set) temperature in the refrigerator during the entire time of transportation, even if the time limit is exceeded.

Product packaging requirements

Transportation by refrigerators requires high-quality packing containers and materials for product packaging. Materials and packaging must meet the necessary transportation requirements. Transportation of goods in defective or damaged transport containers, pallets, bags, boxes is not allowed. The presence of excess moisture, extraneous pollution and odours is also not allowed.

Transportation by refrigerators from the company “Relanta”

Not many carriers have the opportunity to provide the necessary number of trucks equipped with refrigerators, which allow you to preserve perishable goods that need to be frozen, delivering them to the warehouse without compromising the quality of the goods. Logistic company “Relanta” company is engaged in professional refrigerated cargo transportation. Our company has many years of experience in cooperation with chain stores, grocery stores, logistics centres, pharmacies, restaurants, children’s and medical institutions. “Relanta” assumes responsibility for compliance with the temperature regimes of transportation, both during the transportation of products and in the process of loading and unloading operations.

Freight transportation by refrigerators is the only way to transport goods that need to maintain a certain temperature regime.
