Refrigerated Logistics

Speed and quality assurance are essential when transporting chilled, frozen, and fresh produce. The requirements for the production of refrigerated vehicles and trailer superstructures are therefore high. With our products, we ensure that our customers’ goods arrive safely, quickly and freshly in Swiss grocery shops.

Refrigerated superstructures: Functionality meets quality

Speed and quality assurance are essential when transporting chilled food and other fresh goods. The demands on the production of refrigerated box bodies are correspondingly high. A refrigerated superstructure is subjected to heavy loads every day due to repeated loading and unloading. The materials must be able to withstand these stresses in order to guarantee a functioning cold supply chain. At the same time, the handling of the refrigerated vehicles must be made as easy as possible for the chauffeurs in order to avoid loss of time. With our refrigerated truck superstructures, we ensure that our customers’ goods arrive safely, quickly and freshly at Swiss grocery shops.

Our customers include various Swiss retailers. They operate with different infrastructures and in different geographical locations. We cater to the individual product wishes of our customers. For example, a manoeuvrable refrigerated vehicle with a lower height and narrow width is suitable for urban areas. For transport over longer distances, trailer trucks and larger refrigerated semi-trailers are more suitable. The equipment also varies greatly between clients. Depending on their wishes, they may decide for or against sliding doors, lifting platforms or rolling doors.
