Does the engine have to be running when stationary to keep the goods in the refrigerated van cool?
Our refrigerated vehicles have a standby period in which they can remain cold / frozen whilst stationary. This for example allows you to keep your goods cool whilst loading your stock into your van.
What is the difference between a freezer can and chiller van?
Refrigerated vehicles are often used to transport goods at chilled and frozen temperatures. Vans designed to transport goods at a frozen temperature have a greater insulation in order to maintain these lower temperatures. Chiller vans maintain a slightly warmer temperature than frozen vans. The type of temperature and therefore van required will depend on your specification and requirements.
What temperature do your freezer vans maintain?

What temperature do your chiller vans maintain?
