What does Pre-cooling mean in logistics?
Short answer
Bringing a reefer body or container down to its set temperature before loading, and separately bringing the product itself to its required temperature before it is loaded.
Reefer units are designed to maintain temperature, not to pull warm product down. Indian shippers should check the body temperature at loading and refuse warm product, especially in summer and during long dock waits. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
