What items are transported in Reefer Vans?

Did you know that in 2019, R&D pharmaceutical companies and sector accounted for 0.7% (30.1 billion) of all operating revenue in Canada? Drug items lose their viability when they are not put away in the right temperature and can then have a lethal impact when directed to patients. This sort of cargo for Pharmaceutical couriers require these Reefer vans as such important and temperature-sensitive cargo demands the very best care and require a range of temperature applications, and multi-temperature compartments to cater for complex operations.

  • Pre-chill the cargo area for 15 minutes before loading on very hot days.
  • Switch the reefer unit off while loading product.
  • Minimize the length of time the doors are open when you’re delivering.
