The transportation of goods in a temperature-controlled environment is required for a wide range of products, such as food, medicine, plants, cosmetics, and chemical products. Therefore, refrigerated transport is one of the most important and responsible types of cargo transportation that requires special temperature conditions for movement, storage, and delivery. One crucial element in this chain is the speed of delivery and the type of mobile equipment, one of which is the refrigerated container.
Refrigerated cargo transportation is an essential part of logistics operations in any market and under any climatic conditions.
TYPES OF REFRIGERATED TRANSPORT
There are five types of goods that require specific temperature treatment:
- Fresh goods (they should not be subjected to temperature changes that can alter their condition);
- Chilled goods (temperature range from -6°C to +4°C);
- Frozen goods (temperature range from -7°C to -17°C);
- Deep-frozen goods (temperature below -18°C);
- Heated goods (requires maintaining a temperature higher than the surrounding air).
Our company systematically and professionally solves the task of delivering perishable goods from shippers to recipients.
We offer services for fast and high-quality delivery of goods that require a specific temperature regime.
We organize refrigerated transport worldwide and within Ukraine, taking care of the verification of accompanying documents and insurance of refrigerated goods against all risks.
The most popular refrigerated units are 20- and 40-foot containers, in which the temperature can be maintained within a specified range. Thanks to the technical features of this type of container, the cargo can not only be transported from point A to point B but also kept at a fixed temperature in a stationary warehouse. A refrigerated container can be used as a refrigerator, maintaining greenhouse conditions inside it with a temperature range from -20°C to +20°C. There are ways to ensure the required humidity or atmosphere composition, which is particularly important, for example, when transporting fruits.
Adhering to the required temperature regime at all stages of delivery is the key to successful transportation of perishable goods. Therefore, the containers used meet the most modern requirements and conditions for organizing the cold chain.
In addition to this type of cargo container, our company has access to fleets of specialized vehicles with temperature control in different countries.
To optimize the delivery process, it is possible to combine various modes of transportation, such as truck-sea-truck, truck-railway-truck, or truck-air-truck (for relatively small cargoes).
In addition to road, sea, and rail transport, our company provides express delivery — temperature-controlled air transportation.
Thanks to reliable partners and years of experience, we guarantee the safety, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness of refrigerated cargo transportation.
We tailor our services to meet the requirements of each client. You can find all the necessary information about rates for processing and delivery by sending an inquiry to CARGO@GEFESTLOGISTICS.COM or by filling out the form on our website.
