Refrigerated Transportation

(Temperature controlled transportation)

A refrigerated road transport with a truck is used to transport products that need to be kept at a certain temperature throughout transportation.

Refrigerated trucks can also have several compartments with different temperatures, so they can transport several types of products at the same time, each at the optimal temperature needed.These trucks are called: Multi-temperature refrigerated truck.

These products can be:

Perishable foodstuffs:

Meat (fresh or frozen)
Fish and seafood
Dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese)
Eggs
Fresh fruit and vegetables
Temperature-sensitive bakery products
Ready-made/frozen food

How do we guarantee the quality of refrigerated transport?

In a refrigerated truck, maintaining optimal temperature is essential, especially for sensitive products. It's done through a combination of technology, monitoring and strict procedures:

Quality thermal insulation
The walls of the truck are constructed with special insulation panels (e.g. polyurethane).
Doors have airtight seals to prevent cold air leakage.

High-performance refrigeration unit
The truck has a refrigeration unit (e.g. Thermo King, Carrier) that regulates and maintains the set temperature.
Some units include heating functions to maintain constant temperatures in cold weather.

Sensors and real time monitoring
Temperature sensors are fitted at various points in the compartment.
Data is transmitted in real time to the driver or dispatcher via GPS/telematics.
If the temperature goes out of range, an immediate alert is sent.

Temperature recording (data logger)
A complete temperature history is kept throughout the entire transport.
This "data logger" is often requested by authorities and customers, especially in pharmaceutical and food transportation.

Correct loading
Products are arranged so as not to block the cold air flow.
Pallets, racks and dividers are used to allow even air circulation.

Pre-cooling of the truck
Before loading, the truck is pre-cooled to the required temperature.
This avoids thermal shocks that can affect the quality of the products.

Regular checks and maintenance
Regular checks are carried out on the refrigeration unit and monitoring systems.
Door seals and insulation are checked frequently.

Using a real-time temperature monitoring system to immediately alert the driver and dispatch of any unacceptable temperature variation.
Pre-cooling the vehicle before loading to ensure an optimal environment.

Quality refrigeration equipment

High-performance refrigeration units (such as those mounted on trucks) that maintain constant temperatures throughout transportation.
Regular maintenance of refrigeration systems to prevent breakdowns that could jeopardize transportation.

Proper vehicle insulation

Trucks should be fitted with insulated panels to prevent temperature loss.
Watertight doors to ensure that cold air is not lost during loading and unloading.

Temperature monitoring and recording

Data loggers (temperature recording devices) are used to track and document the temperature throughout the transportation.
These devices allow subsequent verification of the temperature at the destination and provide evidence for authorities or customers.

Documentation and traceability

Transport documents must include clear information about the transport temperature and handling conditions.
Traceability is essential, and producers and transporters must keep records of documents that prove compliance with temperature conditions (e.g. temperature certificates, monitoring reports).

Goods handling procedures

Loading and unloading should be done quickly to limit exposure to inappropriate temperatures.
Products should be stored correctly in the vehicle so that they do not block cold air circulation and are protected from possible temperature fluctuations.

Customs control and regulatory compliance

Compliance with EU or other national authorities' regulations for refrigerated transport (e.g. EC Regulations 853/2004 for food products, GDP - Good Distribution Practice for pharmaceutical products).
Specificcertifications and licenses for refrigerated transport (e.g. ISO, HACCP, GMP).

Staff training and coaching

Drivers and handlers must be trained on the proper handling of perishable products and emergency procedures in case of breakdown of refrigeration equipment.
Training must include knowledge of legal standards and internal procedures of the transport company.

Compliance checks and regular audits

Periodic inspections of refrigerated vehicles and equipment.
External audits by certification authorities or organizations to verify compliance with refrigerated transport standards.

By following these criteria, we ensure that products arrive in optimal conditions, maintaining their quality and safety. These measures are essential for food, pharmaceuticals and other goods requiring controlled temperatures.
