Cold Chain Logistics – Complete Guide to Our End-to-End Temperature-Controlled Supply Chain Solutions
Introduction to Our Cold Chain Logistics Services
Welcome to Chiller Van Rental Dubai – the most trusted name in cold chain logistics across the United Arab Emirates. Since 2012, we have provided businesses with comprehensive, end-to-end temperature-controlled supply chain solutions that go far beyond simple transportation.
Cold chain logistics is the management of temperature-sensitive products throughout the entire supply chain – from the point of origin to the final destination. It encompasses every step: planning, packaging, loading, transport, storage, monitoring, and delivery – all while maintaining precise temperature control.
While our refrigerated transport services move your goods, our cold chain logistics service manages the entire process. We become your supply chain partner, ensuring that every link in the cold chain remains unbroken, every temperature requirement is met, and every compliance standard is satisfied.
With flexible service options including project-based consulting, ongoing management contracts, and integrated transport solutions featuring our standard 5% weekly and 10% monthly discounts, we provide cold chain logistics tailored to your specific requirements.

Q: What's the difference between refrigerated transport and cold chain logistics?
A: Refrigerated transport is the physical movement of goods in temperature-controlled vehicles. Cold chain logistics is the comprehensive management of the entire temperature-controlled supply chain, including planning, monitoring, documentation, compliance, and continuous improvement. Refrigerated transport is one component of cold chain logistics.

Q: Do I need cold chain logistics or just refrigerated transport?
A: Consider cold chain logistics if: • Your products are high-value or critical (pharmaceuticals) • You have regulatory compliance requirements • You experience quality issues or waste • You need documented proof of temperature control • Your supply chain is complex (multiple handovers) • You're introducing new products or routes • You're preparing for an audit
-
Q: What temperature ranges do your cold chain services cover?
A: Our services cover the full spectrum: • Deep freeze: -25°C to -30°C (ice cream,某些 pharmaceutical) • Frozen: -18°C to -25°C (frozen food, meat, seafood) • Chilled: +2°C to +8°C (fresh produce, dairy, vaccines) • Ambient controlled: 15°C to 25°C (some pharmaceuticals, chocolate) • Multi-temperature: Any combination in appropriate vehicles
-
Q: What standards do you comply with?
A: We comply with multiple standards: • HACCP: Food safety • GMP: Pharmaceutical manufacturing • GDP: Good Distribution Practice • WHO: Vaccine distribution • ISO 22000: Food safety management • Dubai Municipality: Local food safety
-
Q: What documentation do you provide?
A: We provide comprehensive documentation: • Temperature logs (continuous) • Chain of custody records • Proof of delivery with temperature • Validation reports • Calibration certificates • Audit-ready packages • Excursion reports (if any)
-
Q: How do you monitor temperature during transport?
A: We use multiple methods: • Data loggers: Continuous recording devices • Real-time monitoring: Cellular-connected sensors • Multi-point monitoring: Several locations within load • Dashboard displays: Driver-visible temperatures • Cloud platform: Access from anywhere
-
Q: What happens if there's a temperature excursion?
