Hauling frozen food products is a temperature-controlled supply cold chain. It involves the safe transportation of frozen food products and requires expertise with the correct equipment and specialised transport.

K Charles Haulage understands the importance of ensuring the food products, whether for short or long-distance transportation, remain frozen. They are involved, prepared and knowledgeable in frozen food safety and precautions to prevent frozen food contaminations.

With the use of sophisticated refrigerated hauling vehicles, they maintain a cooling system always in operation. This method is to maintain temperatures without having diesel engines still running and at the same time, it helps protect the environment by reducing Co2 emissions.

The cold supply chain involves transportation, delivering, and maintaining safe quality frozen foods to their destination. The vehicles are fitted with tracking devices and temperature printing equipment to monitor the temperature inside the vehicle. Some equipment is fitted with a tail lift facility and rear air suspension for loading bay heights.

“Our professional logistics team, with effective management, understands their role and the expected standards in the project to ensure successful transportation of the goods. The distribution of frozen foods is not easy and it requires the necessary means and expertise to make it possible,” said Milan Grech, Logistics Manager, of K Charles Haulage.

Refrigerated trucks or Reefers are specialist vehicles that are fitted with temperature-controlled units that produce printout reports to monitor the frozen goods to the lowest temperature of -25ºC without complications. These refrigerated vehicles are pre-cooled to -20ºC and never exceed -12ºC.

Several cold chain technologies involve dry ice, gel packs, plates filled with liquids that can be reused, and liquid nitrogen quilts, which are insulated pieces placed over and around the goods in transit and act as a barrier to maintain temperature control constant and undisturbed.

K Charles Haulage ensures their refrigerated vehicles are regularly serviced to maintain proper air control. If services are not done it can affect the cooling performance as warm air carries moisture and will pose risks to the frozen food products.

The cold chain supply load needs to be at its best from start to finish without interruption to ensure prolonged shelf life and allow products to be stored longer and remain fresh, without compromising quality.

Fully-fledged modern temperature-controlled vehicles are available in different shapes and sizes according to the needs of the business. These specialised vehicles range from 3.5 tonnes to 26 tonnes, which is the preferred vehicle for the transportation of refrigerated frozen products.

They consider various routes and make use of the terrain and climate to assist in preserving the cooling process of chilled and frozen food products such as shorter routes to preserve the goods. It will help prevent lower emissions to the environment.
