RoadMaster

Chilled & frozen transport

Temperature is part of the order.

For chilled and frozen food, we coordinate target temperature, vehicle preparation and handover. Depending on quantity, refrigerated transport can be planned as a part load, full load or individual direct journey.

Scope of service

When this service is suitable

For fruit and vegetables, packaged meat products, dairy products and frozen food. Product-specific requirements govern the process; different goods may need different temperature and hygiene conditions.

Your planning advantages

  • Temperature requirements are agreed before loading.
  • Loading-bay times and goods receiving are included in planning.
  • Records and load-carrier exchange can be specifically agreed.

Process

How your order is handled

Record product requirements

You specify the target temperature, permitted deviations and packaging. Goods must be ready in the agreed condition; a refrigerated vehicle does not replace prior product chilling.

Prepare refrigerated transport

Pre-cooling, air circulation, loading and cargo compatibility are taken into account. Multi-compartment or double-deck solutions require a separate assessment.

Document handover

Receiving windows, unloading process and requested temperature records are agreed. Any identified deviations are documented and addressed with the parties involved.

RoadMaster

Vehicles & equipment

Refrigerated body suited to the temperature and shipment. Loading normally takes place through the rear; side or roof loading is not provided for on a standard refrigerated body. Usable internal height and airflow are taken into account.

TRANSPORT PLANNING EXAMPLE

Fresh goods with a fixed warehouse appointment

Several pallets of dairy products need refrigerated delivery to a retail warehouse. We include the specified product temperature in planning and coordinate pre-cooling, the loading-bay appointment and the required temperature record.

Illustrative planning example; not a scheduled route or a transit-time commitment.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions about this service

Which temperature is right for my goods?

The requirement must come from the sender or the product specification. We then coordinate the appropriate vehicle and transport process.

Can different temperature zones be combined?

This may be possible with a suitable multi-compartment solution. Temperatures, separation, quantities and availability must be checked in advance.

Does a quality certificate automatically cover every product?

No. The scope and validity of the relevant records and the specific service are decisive. Available documents can be found under Our licences.
