A refrigerated transport keeps your temperature-sensitive goods within the specified climate window throughout the entire journey – whether fresh food at +2 to +8 °C, tempered goods at controlled room temperature or frozen goods at −20 °C. Decisive is a seamless cold chain from loading to the consignee's ramp, documented and audit-ready.
Speed Logistics dispatches refrigerated transports as a direct run without reloading: the goods stay in the same refrigerated vehicle, and temperature breaks through transhipment are eliminated. You receive the fixed-price quote within a few hours, and the personal dispatch team is reachable around the clock – including for short-notice fresh deliveries.
Scope of service in temperature-controlled transport
- Fresh transports +2 to +8 °C: food, dairy products, beverages and other refrigeration-requiring goods.
- Frozen transports down to −20 °C: frozen food and deep-freeze products with continuous frozen control.
- Multi-climate zones: vehicles with a partition transport fresh and frozen goods in one vehicle – economical for mixed loads.
- Temperature documentation: recording of the load-space climate over the entire route as proof for your quality assurance.
Vehicles and hygiene: ATP and HACCP
We deploy refrigerated vehicles with ATP classification (FRC/FRA) – from the refrigerated van for part quantities to the refrigerated articulated truck with 33 pallet spaces. The load spaces are cleaned in a HACCP-compliant manner, and the processes are documented in such a way that they withstand audits within the scope of HACCP and IFS audits by your quality department. Pre-cooling of the load space before loading is standard with us, not an option.
How your refrigerated transport works
You give us the type of goods, target climate, quantity and date. We check the appropriate vehicle class, confirm the fixed price and dispatch the direct run. The driver checks the core temperature requirements at takeover, and during the journey the temperature recording runs along. At delivery you receive, on request, the temperature protocol together with the proof of delivery.
Refrigerated transports to Europe and non-EU countries
Besides domestic fresh lanes, we run temperature-controlled direct transports throughout Europe as well as to non-EU countries such as Türkiye or North Africa – including customs clearance from EXW to DDP and veterinary or food-law accompanying papers in coordination with you. The higher energy costs of cooling we calculate transparently into the fixed price; depending on the lane, climate class and lead time, we give you a non-binding guide price already with the first quote.
Typical goods in refrigerated transport
The largest share is food: dairy products, meat and sausage products, baked goods, delicatessen, beverages and frozen food for manufacturers, wholesalers and catering suppliers. In addition, we regularly run non-food goods with a temperature requirement – such as cosmetics, temperature-sensitive chemical products, adhesives or flowers and plants that need a constant climate without frost.
For every group of goods we clarify the target values, permissible tolerances and the required accompanying documents before the first journey. For recurring lanes – such as the weekly supply of a central warehouse – we store these specifications permanently, so that every follow-up journey runs without renewed coordination according to the same checked scheme, and your quality assurance can rely on the protocols.
You can reach our dispatch team around the clock – including for short-notice fresh runs at the weekend. Give us the type of goods, target climate and date, and you receive a fixed-price quote within a few hours with a realistic transit time for your lane.
