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.
