Not Just For Food Deliveries 

Believe it or not, refrigerated vans are not just for food deliveries and distributors. Considering the nature of the food industry, it is understandable why restaurants, butchers, food suppliers and caterers use refrigerator vans as a main source of transport for their business, but other industries can utilise them as well. For example, other industries such as pharmaceuticals, florists, personal cosmetics and perfumes can also be delivered in cold vans. 

Any industry that relies heavily on temperature-controlled areas means they should be looking into refrigerated vans, keeping products at the correct temperature ensures you prevent spoiling whilst on your journey, cross-contamination or damage and keeps them safe during high temperatures. Keeping food safe during warmer temperatures is just as important as pharmaceuticals, makeup, flowers and more. 

You Have Temperature Controls 

With refrigerated vans you are in full control, you can change the temperature in the back of the van, this works perfectly for companies that need to transport different products and goods. Not everything is kept at the same temperature. One of the most important things to mention here is that with the different range of vehicles on the market today, you need to make sure you know what temperature you need your van to reach. Some need freezing temps and others just fridge temperatures, you need to know this before you purchase. 

With this being said, temperatures in the back of refrigerated vans can be changed by the driver, this means you can transport a wide range of goods in the same vehicle. Meaning your van becomes extremely versatile.

Multiple Compartments

Similarly to our previous point about changing temperatures, some of the larger refrigerated vans have multiple compartments. Dual compartments with adjustable temperature gauges for each are available for more advanced models. These vans are perfect for companies that package and deliver products that need to be kept at different temperatures, meaning you can deliver everything at the same time without compromising quality. 

It goes without saying this feature works best for the food industry and caterers who transport different produce that needs different temperature storage. Whether you are looking to deliver frozen and chilled goods at the same time, or chilled goods and cupboard goods, the vans have the ability to offer different compartments and differing temperatures. 

 

Overnight Settings 

Most refrigerated vans offer an overnight electrical standby setting, this offers a seamless change from on-road use to the vehicle being parked up stationery. This means you can park up your van for the evening and go about your evening plans without worrying about the goods and produce in the back of the van. It will be kept cold overnight without any problems.

Keep your products and goods cold overnight.
