Transporting perishable goods in Dubai’s extreme climate can be a challenge. From fresh produce and seafood to dairy products and medicine, maintaining quality during transit is critical. That’s where Chiller Van and Chiller Van Services come in, offering temperature-controlled solutions designed to keep your items fresh, compliant, and safe.
Here are expert tips for transporting perishable goods safely using a chiller van.
Pre-Cool the Chiller Van Before Loading
Before you load your items, make sure you pre-cool the chiller van to the correct temperature. This ensures that the temperature will be stable at all time, which is important for meat, dairy and floral products.
Use the Appropriate Packaging
Always pack perishable items in insulated containers and/or sealed boxes so they can retain their temperature. Avoid packing products too tightly as that will obstruct airflow inside the chiller van.
Load Items Properly
Put heavier items at the bottom. Keep temperature sensitive products such as seafood and flowers at the top or away from the doors. Limit gaps between boxes as this would cause too much shifting in transit.
Minimize Door Openings
Each time a door opens, cold air escapes. Drivers trained by Chiller Van Services are advised to limit door openings in order to maintain consistent temperatures in given situations.
Monitor Temperature Throughout Transit
Chiller van services would monitor temperatures and provide real-time temperature monitoring. If temperature sensors installed inside the van detect a temperature that is above or below the range that was set, the driver will be alerted.
Follow FIFO (First In First Out)
To reduce spoilage, always use first in first out. Always load your goods so that oldest stock can be delivered first.
