What is chilled transport?
chilled transport is the practice of using the cooling unit in the truck area to protect the load, which can be sensitive to temperatures above a certain level. Cooling units can be either a combination of semi-tract trailer or flat trucks. Since the chilled transport units are cooled in almost the same way, other factors often determine which type of truck is used for the transport of goods.
In order to function a cooling car, the storage space of the truck must first be well insulated from the outer air. To do this, steel, plastic or other non -porous materials can be used to maintain cold air inside the freight area. It also removes part of the voltage from the refrigerator, saving energy and reducing the total cost of the unit during the transport.
The location of the cooling unit on most chilled transport units is either immediately behind the driver's cab or on top of the unit. For the semi -loom of one isGenerally behind the cabin. Although there may be some exceptions to this, semi -sings generally prefer to have units at this point, as this allows added height on the trailer. The peak is often the preferred choice for a cooling unit for straight trucks because it is problematic to place it in any other location.
Many different types of products may require the use of chilled transport. The most common need for chilled transport is the transport of agricultural products that tend to easily spoil or decompose such as fruits or vegetables. Of course, frozen foods also require cooling and usually the same units that can be used for cooling can also be used to freeze. Some types of photo processing devices may also require that they are kept in a certain temperature range, of which the maximum would probably exceed traditional transport.
Generally, coldThe drives are made to withstand the strictness of commercial transport, so all normal methods of loading and unloading are possible. This includes the use of forklifts and pallet cars. Some cooling units have grooved floors, so air flow does not prevent the floor from loading. Therefore, some loading devices with smaller wheels may be ineffective, as these wheels could be caught in these grooves. These grooves are generally less than two inches (approximately five cm) wide.
The cost of chilled transport is often higher than traditional transport, but this is mainly due to special equipment and added costs associated with the maintenance and maintenance of this equipment. Furthermore, fewer cooling units are available at the moment and fewer supplies mean higher prices.
