Services
One fleet for frozen, chilled and ambient cargo
Every trailer is a reefer, so we can take frozen, chilled or ambient goods on the same lane and switch at short notice.
Groupage and part loads
We combine pallets from several shippers into one temperature-controlled truck, so you pay only for the space you use.
- From 1 to 20+ pallets
- Collections across Benelux and Northern France
- Same cold chain as a full load
Temperature-controlled
Frozen, chilled and ambient goods kept at the set point from loading to delivery, with a temperature record for every shipment.
- Frozen food at −18 °C and below
- Chilled food at +2 °C to +8 °C
- Temperature report on request
Cargo security
You see your cargo. Nobody else can reach it.
Real-time temperature monitoring
Each trailer reports its temperature live. Any deviation is seen and acted on straight away, not discovered at delivery.
Electronic lock on every trailer
Doors open only when authorised, which protects your goods against theft and unauthorised access, including near the Channel ports.
CMR insurance up to €2,000,000
Cover of up to two million euros per claim, so high-value food cargo travels fully insured.
