Can’t handle the heat? You need to talk to Eurocold

Summer is on its way. Great weather, blue skies and fun in the sun. But for businesses who rely on refrigerated transport to get the job done, the heat that goes with all that goodness can be a killer.

Leading refrigerated transport solutions provider Eurocold offers practical advice and guidance to help business owners tackle our most challenging season and help them thrive in the summer heat.

“Maintaining consistent temperatures in refrigerated vehicles is crucial during the hot summer months,” says Eurocold truck specialist James New. “Keeping your cold supply chain fast, efficient and thriving through the summer months is key.”

Eurocold’s ISOKIT bodies, known for their superior insulation and energy efficiency, ensure goods remain fresh – even under the stresses of extreme heat. Engineered to meet the summer’s demands, they reduce the risk of spoilage.

“Our isothermal bodies are designed to provide maximum thermal efficiency, making them the ideal solution for the harsh Australian summer,” James says. “They help our customers protect their products and keep their cool, even on scorching summer day.”

Not content with simply supplying new bodies for trucks, Eurocold can help with peak demand through flexible rentals, with a range of options to scale your fleet providing both short and long-term solutions.

When those high summer temperatures make your fridges work harder, they can help with that too. Eurocold’s expert technicians provide comprehensive maintenance services to keep your fleet in tip-top shape and minimise the risk of breakdowns.

“Our flexible rental and maintenance operations are designed to keep our customers’ fleets running smoothly, even during the busiest, hottest times of the year, such as Christmas,” James added.

“Long-term Eurocold clients are also free to customise their trucks to best suit their thermal needs inside and out.”

Likewise, if you’re looking to expand or upgrade your fleet, summer is the perfect time to explore Eurocold’s range of new and used refrigerated vehicles. With options to fit a wide range of budgets, their truck specialists can help you find the right vehicles.

 “Whether you need to expand your fleet or replace an old vehicle, our selection of new and used refrigerated trucks offer something for every budget and timeframe, from short or long-term hire to sales.”

James also has some tips on best practice to improve business owners’ summer operations.

• Fast loading and unloading minimises heat transfer which can help to maintain stable temperatures inside the vehicle.
• Avoiding overloading will ensure your goods remain cool and prevent the refrigeration units freezing from too much moisture in transit or being overworked.
• Pre-cooling the body before loading stabilises internal temperatures, which will reduce the burden on the refrigeration unit during transit.
• Regularly check door seals and inspect for leaks to keep the cold air in and the hot air out.
• Utilise real-time tracking to monitor conditions during transit and adjust as needed.
• Regularly clean evaporators and condensers to avoid system performance issues and ensure efficient cooling.

“Implementing these practical tips, along with our advanced refrigerated solutions, will help you maintain the integrity of your products and keep your operations running cool all summer long,” James says.
