Transport Refrigeration:

The 'cold chain? principle of food handling and distribution is that the product shall be maintained at appropriate conditions all of the way to the point of sale. This needs transport and several kinds of storage.

The transport of cooled produce, by using mechanical refrigeration, was one of the first vital uses, dating back to 1880 and just 20 years after the primary static cold storage.

Refrigerated Trucks and Trailers

These vehicles are refrigerated to keep temperatures of either 1.5 to 4°C for cold foods or - 18°C for frozen foods.
