Freezer Truck Rental – Complete Service Guide
Introduction to Our Freezer Truck Rental Service
Welcome to Chiller Van Rental Dubai – the most trusted name in freezer truck rental across the United Arab Emirates. Since 2012, we have provided businesses with heavy-duty, sub-zero temperature-controlled vehicles for transporting large volumes of frozen products that require consistent freezing between -18°C to -25°C.
Our freezer trucks are the backbone of Dubai’s frozen food supply chain, serving meat and seafood wholesalers, ice cream distributors, cold storage facilities, and large-scale frozen logistics operations. When your volume exceeds what freezer vans can handle, our freezer trucks deliver the capacity you need while maintaining the deep-freeze conditions that frozen products demand.
With flexible contract options including daily, weekly (5% discount), and monthly (10% discount) rentals, we make it easy and affordable to access heavy-duty frozen transport exactly when you need it.
What is a Freezer Truck?
A freezer truck is a heavy-duty temperature-controlled vehicle specifically designed to maintain sub-zero temperatures – typically between -18°C and -25°C – while carrying significantly larger volumes than vans. These trucks are essential for bulk transport of frozen products where capacity matters as much as temperature integrity.
Key Characteristics:
- Temperature Range: Precise control between -18°C to -25°C
- Capacity: 3 tons to 10+ tons – significantly larger than vans
- Insulation: Heavy-duty polyurethane foam (100mm minimum) maintains internal temperature regardless of external conditions
- Refrigeration Unit: Industrial-grade units with high-capacity compressors capable of maintaining deep-freeze in large cargo areas
- Loading Options: Rear doors, side doors, and tail lift configurations available
- Compliance: HACCP certified for bulk frozen food transport safety
The Capacity Advantage – When Freezer Vans Aren't Enough
Why choose a freezer truck over a freezer van? Volume and efficiency.
Scenario 1: Meat Wholesale Distribution
A meat wholesaler supplies frozen meat to hundreds of restaurants, hotels, and butchers across Dubai. A single freezer van might make multiple trips or require a fleet of vans. One freezer truck can carry an entire day’s frozen meat orders in a single trip – fewer vehicles, less congestion, lower costs, and consistent temperature control.
Scenario 2: Ice Cream Wholesale
Ice cream is particularly demanding – it requires deep-freeze temperatures and rapid recovery after door openings. Our freezer trucks for ice cream feature enhanced refrigeration units that maintain temperature even during frequent stops.
Scenario 3: Cold Storage Transfers
A cold storage facility needs to transfer bulk frozen products from the facility to a distributor’s warehouse or directly to port for export. Pallets upon pallets of frozen goods need to move efficiently. Our freezer trucks are designed for palletized loading, moving more product in fewer trips while maintaining frozen integrity.
Scenario 4: Seafood Import/Export
Dubai is a major hub for seafood trade. Imported frozen seafood arriving at Jebel Ali Port needs transfer to cold storage, then onward distribution. Our freezer trucks handle these bulk transfers efficiently, maintaining the cold chain from port to plate.
Our Freezer Truck Fleet – Options for Every Bulk Frozen Need
We maintain the largest and most diverse fleet of freezer trucks in Dubai, ensuring we have the right vehicle for every bulk frozen application:
