What Is Refrigerated (Reefer) Shipping & Why It Matters for Cold-Chain Logistics?
Temperature-controlled shipping is essential for protecting sensitive freight such as food, medical supplies, beverages, and perishable goods. Refrigerated (reefer) shipping keeps products safe, fresh, and compliant from pickup to delivery — no matter the climate.
As demand for temperature-sensitive distribution rises across sectors like food & beverage and pharmaceuticals, reliable cold-chain transport is more important than ever.
How Refrigerated Freight Works
Refrigerated shipping uses insulated trailers with temperature-control systems designed to maintain precise conditions during transit.
Reefer trucks can control:
- Frozen temperatures
- Cool refrigeration
- Heated environments when needed
- Humidity levels depending on cargo
This makes them essential for industries where product integrity is critical.
Products That Require Refrigerated Transport
- Perishable foods (produce, meat, dairy)
- Frozen goods
- Pharmaceuticals & medical freight
- Beverages & specialty ingredients
- Floral products
