Temperature Controlled Trucks
Our reefers are designed to keep your produce intact to avoid spoilage on the dock in transit. We will adjust the temperature to suit your unique needs.
For example, the ideal temp for transporting vegetables is between 0°C and 4.4°C (32-40°F), fruit is between 2°C to 4°C (35-40°F) to avoid respiration.
