There are special types of cargo that require transportation under certain temperature conditions. For example, for deep-frozen food products, it is necessary to maintain a temperature of -17 to -22˚С. Chemical reagents, pharmaceutical products, and cut flowers are transported at temperatures from +2 to +8˚С. Living plants, devices and digital equipment, as well as some other types of goods remain safe in the temperature range from +15 to +25˚С.
If you need to deliver goods that are sensitive to environmental conditions, you will have to use a service such as temperature-controlled cargo transportation.
Vehicles intended for this purpose have an isothermal compartment equipped with reliable thermal insulation that maintains a given temperature. If the cargo must be delivered frozen, transport equipped with refrigerators is used.
Requirements for temperature controlled transportation
In order for temperature controlled transportation to be carried out while maintaining product quality, the following requirements must be observed:
- The presence of proper ventilation, which will prevent the accumulation of condensation and provide the required humidity.
- Maintaining sanitary standards. Goods transported under special temperature conditions may be damaged if they are not maintained and must be strictly monitored.
- Control of cargo condition at each stage of the route. This allows you to quickly notice a violation of delivery conditions, promptly eliminate the breakdown and prevent damage to the goods.
- Quick implementation of all logistics operations. Temperatures can change during loading and unloading operations, so efficiency is of utmost importance.
- If additional temporary storage of goods is planned, it is necessary to ensure that the required conditions are maintained in the warehouse.
If you need to deliver small quantities of goods, it is optimal to use the groupage transportation service. At the same time, cargo from various suppliers is transported in one vehicle and there is no need to order a separate vehicle. The difficulty of this operation is to quickly select cargo with the same temperature requirements, carry out storage under the right conditions and quickly carry out loading and unloading operations. Only large transport companies with a developed logistics network can cope with this task.
One of such companies is «CONTSHIP EXPRESS», which has been transporting various types of cargo, including those requiring special temperature conditions, for more than 15 years. p>
