Practical Tips for Summer Success with Refrigerated Trucks

To keep your refrigerated trucks running smoothly during the hot summer months, it’s essential to adopt smart practices alongside using well-insulated vehicles like Eurocold’s. Here are a few tips to maintain the integrity of your cold chain:

  • Fast loading and unloading minimise heat transfer, helping to keep temperatures stable inside the truck.
  • Avoid overloading to prevent refrigeration units from overworking or freezing due to excess moisture.
  • Pre-cool the truck body before loading to stabilise internal temperatures, reducing strain on the refrigeration unit.
  • Regularly check door seals to ensure cold air stays in and hot air stays out.
  • Use real-time tracking to monitor conditions during transit and make adjustments as needed.
  • Clean evaporators and condensers frequently to avoid performance issues and ensure efficient cooling.

James adds: “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.”
