Cold chain logistics involves the refrigerated transportation – more commonly known as reefer freight – of temperature-controlled goods. A vehicle with a built-in refrigeration system that can maintain product at a pre-determined temperature throughout the journey is of utmost importance. Goods sensitive to temperature such as foods, beverages and pharmaceutical supplies are commonly moved this way.
Minor fluctuations in temperature can ultimately damage a product’s shelf life. When choosing a refrigerated trucking service is it therefore vital to ensure that a continuous state of refrigeration is maintained from origin, right through transportation to market. It is imperative that the cold chain never be broken to ensure product is not spoiled or outright ruined.
