What is Reefer Freight?
A reefer trailer is a specialized, insulated trailer equipped with refrigeration units designed to maintain cargo at a controlled temperature during transit. These trailers can handle a wide range of temperature requirements, from frozen goods to heated freight. Reefers are essential for industries that cannot afford interruptions in product quality or safety.
With options to transport frozen, chilled, or climate-sensitive goods, reefers are one of the most specialized and in-demand equipment types in logistics.
