- How We Match Your Vehicle
Six things dispatch checks before we quote
The goal is simple: the right temperature, the right capacity and the right commercial terms — so you never overpay for capacity you do not use or risk a load on the wrong unit.
Temperature band
We set the unit to your product, not a generic default — chilled 0°C to +8°C, deep-freeze −18°C to −25°C, or a mild band for chocolate and tropicals.
Volume & payload
A single-café run fits a 1–3 ton chiller van; pallet loads and multi-branch supply move to 3–7 ton or 5–10 ton trucks so you pay for the right capacity.
Stops & routing
Multi-drop last-mile favours nimble vans; long cross-emirate hauls favour trucks. We size the vehicle to your run, not the reverse.
Hygiene & separation
Sealed bodies, cleaned between loads, with dual-zone options that keep raw, prepared, chilled and frozen cargo properly separated.
Duration & contract
Hourly and daily for one-offs and peaks; weekly, monthly and quarterly rates for standing routes — so the commercial terms match your demand.
Driver or self-drive
Take a driver-operated vehicle, or self-drive Toyota Hiace chiller vans for in-house delivery teams where volume justifies it.
- Industry FAQ
Common questions before you book
How do I know whether my cargo needs a van or a truck?
It comes down to volume, number of stops and payload. A single site or café making its own market and supplier runs is usually well matched to a 1–3 ton chiller van, while pallet loads, multi-branch supply and bulk distribution move to 3–7 ton or 5–10 ton trucks. Our dispatch team sizes this against your order volume and route so you are not paying for capacity you do not use.
What temperature should my products travel at?
Each product family has its own range: fresh produce, dairy and prepared food sit around 0°C to +8°C; frozen goods and ice cream need −18°C to −25°C; chocolate and some tropical fruit travel best in a milder +12°C to +18°C band; and pharmaceuticals are typically +2°C to +8°C. We set the calibrated unit to your product and can log the temperature for the whole trip.
Can one vehicle carry both chilled and frozen cargo?
Yes, on dual-zone refrigerated trucks the body is split so chilled and frozen stock travel in the same run at their own set points. For smaller loads it is often simpler to use a chiller van and a freezer van, and our team will advise which is more cost-effective for your volumes.
Do you provide temperature logging for food-safety and compliance audits?
Continuous temperature logging is available on request across the fleet, giving you a printable record to support internal food-safety checks, retail supplier audits, municipality inspections and regulated pharmaceutical cold-chain documentation.
Which industries do you cover across the UAE?
We serve food service and hospitality, retail and distribution, fresh and perishable specialists, and regulated pharmaceutical and medical clients, dispatched from Al Quoz Industrial 3 in Dubai to all seven emirates — Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Abu Dhabi.
Can I hire for a one-off delivery, or only on contract?
Both. Hourly and daily bookings cover one-off event runs, urgent same-day deliveries and demand peaks, while weekly, monthly and quarterly terms suit standing routes such as restaurant supply, supermarket replenishment and distribution rounds.
Do you handle pharmaceutical and medical cold chain?
Yes. Medicines, vaccines, diagnostic samples and medical devices move on GDP-aligned, calibrated and validated units — chilled +2°C to +8°C, or frozen down to −20°C where required — with continuous temperature logging and documentation for cold-chain integrity.
