Heavy Duty Reefer Trucks
When cold chain volume scales beyond what a 10ft lorry can handle efficiently, heavy duty reefer trucks are the answer. These are the vehicles that move bulk perishable cargo — full pallet loads of frozen seafood from Jurong Fishery Port, chilled produce from cold store to supermarket chain, pharmaceutical products across a regional distribution network. […]
Light Duty Reefer Trucks
The light duty reefer truck — in Singapore, almost always the 10ft lorry in refrigerated configuration — is the most important vehicle category in the country’s SME cold chain sector. It solves a problem that refrigerated vans cannot: sustained frozen performance at -18°C and below, with enough payload to make commercial food distribution economically viable, […]
Electric Refrigerated Vehicles
Electric refrigerated vehicles have moved from niche interest to mainstream consideration for Singapore cold chain operators in a short space of time. About half of all new Light Goods Vehicle registrations in Singapore were EVs in 2024 — a figure that would have seemed implausible just three years earlier. In the refrigerated segment specifically, a […]
Multi-Temperature Trucks
Running separate vehicles for chilled and frozen cargo is the most common cold chain setup — and for many businesses, the most expensive one. Two trucks, two drivers, two sets of fuel costs, two maintenance schedules, and two separate routes that often overlap significantly. Multi-temperature trucks solve this directly: one vehicle, one driver, one route, […]
Refrigerated Van vs Refrigerated Truck: Which Is Right for Your Singapore Business?
It’s the most common first decision in cold chain transport — and one that’s worth getting right before you sign anything. A refrigerated van and a refrigerated truck both maintain temperature. Both can run chilled or frozen configurations. Both fall under the same COE Category C. But beyond those surface similarities, they are different tools […]
Types of Refrigerated Vehicles
Types of Refrigerated Vehicles in Singapore: A Buyer’s Guide Not all refrigerated vehicles are the same — and choosing the wrong type is one of the most common and costly mistakes businesses make when setting up cold chain transport. A vehicle that’s too small limits your capacity. A vehicle that’s too large consumes more fuel […]
Temperature Ranges Explained
Temperature Ranges Explained: A Complete Guide for Singapore Cold Chain Businesses Temperature range is the single most important specification in cold chain transport — and the most commonly misunderstood. Businesses often focus on the vehicle type, the route, or the cost before they have confirmed the actual temperature their cargo must be maintained at. That […]
Refrigerated vs Insulated Trucks
Refrigerated vs Insulated Trucks: Which Does Your Business Actually Need? Refrigerated or insulated — it sounds like a simple question, but it’s one of the most consequential decisions a business makes when setting up cold chain transport. Choose the wrong option and the consequences range from spoiled stock and customer complaints to failed SFA audits, […]
Components of a Truck Refrigeration System
Components of a Truck Refrigeration System A refrigerated truck looks like a standard delivery vehicle from the outside. What makes it fundamentally different — and what determines how well it performs, how reliably it maintains temperature, and how long it lasts — is the system of components working together inside and around the cargo body. […]
How Refrigerated Trucks Work
Understanding how a refrigerated truck actually works isn’t just useful knowledge for engineers — it’s practical information for anyone making purchasing, rental, or procurement decisions. Knowing what’s happening inside the system tells you what to look for when comparing vehicles, what questions to ask vendors, what can go wrong and when, and why some operational […]
