Transportation of refrigerated trucks 2G/4G real time monitoring temperature data logger

In trucking, a “reefer” is a refrigerated trailer that gets attached to a semi-truck in order to transport perishables and other temperature-sensitive goods. Reefer trucking, also known as refrigerated trucking, is the transportation of temperature-sensitive cargo like perishable foods or pharmaceuticals. It was originally the ice cream industry that gave birth to the reefer around 1925. Reefers may also be used for heated goods.The point of a reefer unit is to maintain a steady temperature for goods being transported. For example, if ice cream needs to be stored at -20°C,  the reefer unit’s components will ensure that the ice cream arrives at its destination at the same temperature as it was loaded on. This is all a part of cold chain logistics, which is the technology and process allowing for the safe transport of temperature-sensitive products along the supply chain.

A refrigerated truck can maintain temperatures between 12°C and -30°C. Most trucks and vans can maintain a wide range of temperatures. Note that refrigerated trucks do not have to maintain the same temperature in all areas. Some have multiple compartments that sit at different temperatures. This lets one compartment transport liquid milk while another moves frozen dairy treats, making it cheaper for the company selling milk products to ship them.
