03 · THE BASICS
What is temperature-controlled logistics?
It’s the transport layer that holds your cargo in a set range — chilled, frozen or controlled-ambient — using the right equipment for the mode and the distance.
WHEN YOU NEED IT
- A set range in transitChilled, frozen or a fixed ambient band.
- Controlled ambient (CRT)15–25°C protection, not just refrigeration.
- Standard freight can’t hold itIt needs powered or qualified equipment.
- Mapped, qualified gearEquipment proven to hold your range.
- Proof of temperatureA record the range was maintained.
THE METHODS WE USE
- Reefer (active refrigeration)Trucks and containers with powered cooling for chilled and frozen cargo.
- Active air containersPowered ULDs that hold a set point through the air leg.
- Passive systemsQualified boxes with PCMs or gel packs for shorter legs.
- Controlled ambient (CRT · 15–25°C)Protection from heat and cold for cargo that can’t be refrigerated.
04 · BY MODE
Temperature-controlled across every mode
Whichever way your cargo travels, we hold the range — and hand off between modes without a break.
By road — reefer trucks
Chilled and frozen road transport, domestic and cross-border, with set-point control.
By sea — reefer containers
FCL and LCL reefer for temperature cargo that ships in volume.
By air — active & passive
Active ULDs and validated shippers when speed matters most.
Last-mile & CRT
Controlled-ambient delivery and the final leg to the door.
05 · THE DIFFERENCE
Validated, monitored — and proven to hold
A reefer that isn’t mapped or monitored is a guess. We qualify the equipment and the lane, watch it live, and hand you the record.
Temperature mapping
Equipment and packaging mapped to prove they hold your range.
Lane qualification
Routes tested for the conditions your cargo will actually face.
Live monitoring
Data loggers, real-time alerts and an excursion response.
Documented proof
A temperature record and compliance pack on delivery.
Need a temperature-controlled lane you can trust?
Give us the range, mode and route — we’ll map the equipment, qualify the lane and monitor it live.
06 · PRICING
What drives a temperature-controlled rate?
The equipment and the range set most of it. Here’s what shapes your quote — all of it visible, none of it hidden.
Equipment type
Reefer, active ULD or passive packaging for the lane.
Range & set point
Deeper or tighter ranges cost more to hold.
Mode & transit time
Air holds range longer; reefer sea/road costs less.
Monitoring & loggers
Data loggers and live tracking per shipment.
Validation & qualification
Lane and equipment qualification where required.
Volume & lane
Load size and the route’s conditions and distance.
One transparent temperature-controlled rate
Equipment, monitoring and validation — priced against the range and the value at risk.
07 · THE PROCESS
How a temperature-controlled shipment runs
Four steps from spec to a delivery in range — with the record to prove it.
Profile & specify
Qualify & load
Transport & monitor
Deliver & record
Need a validated temperature-controlled lane?
Tell us the range and route — we’ll qualify the equipment and monitor it end to end.
08 · THE DIFFERENCE
One partner — equipment qualified, temperature proven
A reefer breaks its promise the moment the equipment isn’t validated or the record is missing. We own both — from the truck to the paperwork.
Validated equipment
Reefers and ULDs qualified to hold your range.
Temperature data pack
Logger records for the full journey, on delivery.
GDP / CRT compliance
Good Distribution Practice, incl. controlled-room-temp.
Excursion management
Alerts and a documented response if the range slips.
IEC & registrations
Import/export code and the licences your cargo needs.
Customs & clearance
Priority handling so temperature cargo keeps moving.
Transport, customs and registrations from one team — the temperature-controlled layer your cold chain can actually rely on.

Temperature-controlled logistics FAQs
The questions temperature-sensitive shippers ask us most.
What’s the difference between temperature-controlled and cold chain?
Temperature-controlled is the transport layer — the reefers, active containers and controlled-ambient equipment that hold a range. Cold chain is the end-to-end, GDP-compliant service (including storage, validation and documentation) that runs on top of it. We provide both.
