Refrigerated transportation (or reefer freight) is a method for shipping freight that requires special,
temperature controlled vehicles. The vehicle transporting the products being shipped has a built-in
refrigeration system that keeps products at a desired temperature throughout the transportation
process.
Usage :
For transporting perishable products
A reefer truck comprises of the following:
- Truck chassis with motive tractor and cabin with an insulated chamber for refer cargoes
- Insulated Doors with door securing and sealing system
- Independently fueled Refrigeration equipment with sufficient air flow depending on size of chamber. Reefer unit should be operable with dual power source
- GPS tracking enabled and data logging system to monitor humidity and temperature
- Associated refrigeration monitoring and controlling panel
- Refrigerated trucks of smaller capacity vehicles shall be supported through State Horticulture Missions. Vehicles of less than 4MT capacity (>12 m³ space) are normally not suitable for active refrigeration as the carriage space further reduces. However, new technologies allow this option and a case to case appraisal can be undertaken for these sizes.
