What does Reefer truck mean in logistics?
Short answer
A truck with an insulated body and a refrigeration unit that holds cargo at a set temperature, from frozen to chilled, during transit.
Indian reefers range from small insulated vans for city delivery to 32 ft long-haul units. Check the insulation, the unit’s capacity for the set point, door seals and a working temperature logger, not only the name "reefer". Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
