Refrigerated shipping is essential for transporting temperature-sensitive products that require controlled environments to maintain their quality and safety. Common products include fresh produce, dairy, meat, seafood, frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, and certain chemicals. This type of shipping ensures that these products are kept within a specific temperature range to prevent spoilage and maintain their integrity during transit.
Refrigerated shipping involves specialized vehicles with temperature control systems, commonly known as reefer trucks. These vehicles are designed to maintain a constant temperature, which can be adjusted depending on the product’s requirements. Real-time monitoring systems track the temperature throughout the journey, ensuring it remains within the specified range. This process helps preserve the quality and safety of the goods until they reach their destination​.
