Ultimate Guide: Temperature-Controlled Trucks
Definition of Temperature-Controlled Trucks
Temperature-controlled trucks feature one or multiple temperature-controlled zones. They can maintain multiple temperatures simultaneously or a single temperature. Temperatures can be adjusted based on cargo type and driver operation, allowing any zone to be set to frozen, refrigerated, or insulated conditions. This ensures cargo remains at an appropriate temperature. Temperature-controlled truck systems are easy to operate.

What are the types of temperature-controlled trucks?
Refrigerated trucks: Used for transporting goods that require refrigeration, with temperatures typically between 0°C and 8°C, such as vegetables, fruits, and dairy products.
- Freezer trucks: Suitable for frozen goods, maintaining temperatures at -18°C or lower, such as ice cream and frozen meat.
- Constant-temperature trucks: Provide precise temperature control for pharmaceuticals, vaccines, etc., typically between 2°C and 8°C or higher temperatures.
- Multi-temperature zone trucks: The interior is divided into multiple temperature zones, enabling simultaneous transportation of goods with different temperature requirements, such as refrigerated and frozen items.
- Insulated trucks: Used for short-distance transport, maintaining cargo temperature without refrigeration capabilities, suitable for ready-to-eat foods or flowers.
Differences between temperature-controlled trucks and other refrigerated trucks
Temperature-controlled trucks typically offer more functionality than refrigerated trucks and have stronger temperature control performance.
Temperature-controlled trucks generally have multiple compartments, each with different temperature settings. Regardless of cargo size or space requirements, the refrigeration system ensures stable temperature control. Typically, temperature-controlled trucks are equipped with multiple cooling units. Drivers can easily adjust the temperature via the control system.
What types of goods can temperature-controlled trucks transport?
Temperature-controlled trucks can transport almost all categories of products:
- Fresh food: Common vegetables, fruits, meats, seafood, dairy products, etc., which require refrigeration or freezing.
- Pharmaceutical products: Such as vaccines, blood products, medications, etc., which require strict temperature-controlled environments. Composite Box provides specialised vaccine-specific refrigerated trucks and pharmaceutical refrigerated trucks, etc.
- Frozen foods: such as ice cream, frozen meat, and frozen dumplings, which must be kept below -18°C. Composite Box provides customised refrigerated trucks for meat and ice cream.
- Chemical products: certain chemical reagents or industrial raw materials require specific temperatures to ensure stability and safety.
- Flowers and plants: such as roses and saplings, which require refrigeration to extend their shelf life.
