Reefer

A reefer truck, short for “refrigerated truck,” is a type of vehicle equipped with a refrigeration unit in its cargo area to transport perishable goods at controlled temperatures. The cargo space is insulated and fitted with cooling or freezing equipment to maintain specific temperature ranges, making reefer trucks ideal for transporting food products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other temperature-sensitive items.

Reefer trucks are widely used in the food and beverage industry to move fresh produce, dairy, meat, and frozen goods, ensuring that products remain fresh and safe during transit. They are also commonly used in industries requiring temperature control, such as biotechnology and medical supply chains. These trucks come in various sizes, from small vans for local deliveries to large semi-trailers for long-distance hauls. The refrigeration system can be set to maintain temperatures ranging from above freezing to sub-zero, providing flexibility for different types of cargo. Reefer trucks play a critical role in cold chain logistics, where maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive products is essential.
