Refrigerated transport
An unbroken cold chain, from loading to delivery
A solution shaped around your cargo
Some loads aren’t done just by arriving; they have to arrive as fresh as on day one. Mehr Tarabar refrigerated transport is built for exactly these goods: shipments that spoil, lose value or even become unsafe if they spend a few hours outside the right temperature. This unbroken temperature path from production to consumption is called the “cold chain”.
Which shipments need refrigerated transport?
| Category | Examples | Typical transport temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Frozen goods | Frozen meat and poultry, fish and shrimp, ice cream, frozen vegetables and ready meals | −18 °C or colder |
| Fresh meat and poultry | Red meat, chicken, meat products | About 0–4 °C |
| Dairy | Milk, yoghurt, cheese, cream, butter | About 2–6 °C |
| Medicines and vaccines | Refrigerated drugs, vaccines, biologics, some lab supplies | Usually 2–8 °C (per manufacturer’s label) |
| Fresh fruit and vegetables | Export fruit, leafy greens, mushrooms, flowers and plants | Depends on the product, usually 0–12 °C |
| Chocolate and confectionery | Chocolate, cream pastries, cakes and desserts | Cool and stable, usually 12–18 °C |
These figures are general guidance. The exact temperature of each shipment is set by the product specification and the manufacturer’s label, and should be given to the Mehr Tarabar team before loading.

Key points for refrigerated transport
- Pre-cool the vehicle: the body must reach the required temperature before loading; never load cold goods into a warm box.
- Load quickly: every minute the doors stay open raises the inside temperature; the cargo should be ready and organised.
- Stow correctly: leave space between loads and walls so cold air reaches every package.
- Separate incompatible goods: some fruits and products release odours or gases and shouldn’t travel with sensitive loads.
- Record and monitor temperature: for medicines and sensitive goods, temperature logging along the route matters; tell Mehr Tarabar when you request a quote.
- Health documents: food and medicine shipments should travel with the required permits and health certificates.
The temperatures above are general guidance; the exact temperature of each shipment is set by the product specification, the manufacturer’s label and health regulations. In the quote form, choose the right refrigerated vehicle and write the required temperature in the notes, and the Mehr Tarabar team will suggest the best option.
With the Mehr Tarabar refrigerated fleet, your cold chain stays unbroken from loading to delivery, so your product arrives as fresh as it left.
