By Industry
- Overview
One Booking Desk, Three Temperature Classes, Every Size in Between
Chiller vehicles hold 0°C to +8°C for fresh produce, dairy, flowers and chilled medicines. Freezer vehicles hold −18°C to −22°C for ice cream, frozen meat, seafood and frozen meals. Refrigerated vehicles switch between the two, and our larger reefer trucks split chilled and frozen cargo into two zones on the same trip.
Tail lift trucks and pickup trucks round out the fleet for heavy pallets and ambient cargo, so one contract covers everything your route needs. Every vehicle is available hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly.

- The Fleet in Detail
Chiller, Freezer and Refrigerated Vehicles, Explained
Temperature decides the class, and load size decides the vehicle within it. Here is what each one does and when to choose it.
Chiller Vans & Chiller Trucks
Chiller vehicles keep cargo cold without freezing it. Choose this class when your product should arrive fresh and firm, never icy.
0°C to +8°C
Most Booked
1 Ton Toyota Hiace Chiller Van
Our everyday workhorse. It slips into Deira loading lanes and Business Bay basements, and it suits daily kitchen deliveries, florist rounds and pharmacy replenishment.
More Headroom
High-Roof Chiller Van
The same 1 ton class with a taller box. Caterers stack trays and produce suppliers stack crates without crushing the bottom layer, and the van still parks like a van.
Bulk Chilled
3–5 Ton Chiller Truck
When one van becomes two or three trips, a chiller truck does it in one. Restaurant groups use it to replenish several branches, and wholesalers use it to move dairy and produce from Al Aweer.
Freezer Vans & Freezer Trucks
Freezer vehicles keep cargo frozen solid from pickup to drop-off. Choose this class when the label says “keep frozen” or any thaw would ruin the product.
−18°C to −22°C
City Frozen Delivery
1 Ton Freezer Van
A sealed, deep-insulated body built for short, frequent stops. Ice cream distributors, frozen seafood suppliers and dark kitchens rely on it for daily rounds.
Larger Frozen Loads
High-Roof Freezer Van
Extra height for stacked cartons on multi-stop routes. It suits frozen food wholesalers covering a dozen or more outlets in a single shift.
Bulk Frozen
3–7 Ton Freezer Truck
Built for pallet-scale frozen stock. Distributors move inventory between cold stores in Jebel Ali and DIP, and processors ship frozen meat and poultry to retail warehouses.
Refrigerated Vans & Reefer Trucks
Refrigerated vehicles give you both settings in one booking. Choose this class when your cargo changes from week to week, or when chilled and frozen stock must travel together.
+8°C to −22°C
Switchable
2–3 Ton Refrigerated Van
Sits between a van and a truck. Our team sets it to chiller or freezer before each dispatch, which makes it a strong fit for online grocers and meal-kit brands on a single contract.
Largest Units
5–10 Ton Refrigerated Truck
Our biggest reefers, built for supermarket replenishment, FMCG distribution and long cross-emirate runs to Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.
Two Temperatures
Dual-Zone Reefer Option
A movable bulkhead splits the cargo body into a chilled zone and a frozen zone, each with its own setpoint. Dairy and ice cream reach the same store on the same trip.
Support Fleet: Tail Lift & Pickup Trucks
Not every load needs cold air, and not every dock has a ramp. These vehicles sit on the same contract as your refrigerated fleet.
Heavy & Ambient
Hydraulic Lift
Tail Lift Truck
A powered platform lowers heavy pallets to street level, so crews unload beverage kegs or frozen pallets at sites without a raised dock. Order it with a chiller or freezer body when the load is perishable.
Ambient Cargo
Pickup Truck
Open or canopy-covered pickups for packaging, equipment and dry stock. Many clients add one to a chiller van contract so the kitchen equipment and the chilled food arrive together.
One Contract
Mixed-Fleet Contracts
Combine chiller vans, freezer trucks and support vehicles on a single monthly or quarterly agreement, with one invoice and one dispatch contact for the whole fleet.
- Tonnage Guide
Which Tonnage Do You Need?
Size the vehicle to your heaviest regular trip, not your average one. This ladder shows what each step carries in practice.
1 Ton Van
~9–12 m³ · up to 1,000 kgOne restaurant's daily order, a florist's morning round or 30–40 pharmacy drops.
Refrigerated Van
~14–18 m³ · 2,000–3,000 kgGrocery and meal-kit routes that have outgrown a single van.
3 Ton Truck
~4 palletsMulti-branch café replenishment or a full catering event.
5 Ton Truck
~6–8 palletsProduce and dairy wholesale, hotel group supply, cold store top-ups.
7 Ton Truck
~8–10 palletsFrozen distributors and meat processors moving pallet-scale stock.
10 Ton Truck
~12–14 palletsSupermarket DC runs, FMCG distribution and cross-emirate trunk routes.
Figures are typical working loads, not legal maximums. Dense cargo such as frozen meat reaches the weight limit before the box is full, while light cargo such as flowers fills the box first, so tell us both the weight and the volume.
Leave room for air
Cold air must circulate around the load. Packing a box wall to wall creates warm spots, so if you sit between two sizes, book the larger one.
Count drops, not just kilos
Twenty drops in Downtown suit two 1 ton vans better than one truck that can’t reach basement loading bays.
Plan for your peak
Ramadan, Eid and National Day double some orders. A monthly contract can add a second vehicle for those weeks only.
Fleet by Industry
Which Vehicle Fits Your Industry?
Each sector has its own temperature, load size and delivery rhythm. Here is how our clients match the fleet to the job.
Restaurants & Cafés
Kitchens receive meat, dairy and produce every morning, often from more than one supplier. A 1 ton chiller van on a monthly contract covers most single sites, and groups step up to a chiller truck to supply several branches. Read our chiller van guide for resturant.

- Pharma chiller van · pharma freezer van
- Temp
- +2°C to +8°C / frozen

Flowers & Plants
Cut flowers last longer when they stay cool and away from frost. Florists and event stylists choose a self-drive chiller van so their own team controls the early-morning route to venues.
- Vehicle
- 1 ton chiller van (self-drive)
- Temp
- +2°C to +6°C
- Term
- Daily or weekly
E-commerce & Grocery Delivery

Fleet Mistakes We Help Clients Avoid
Booking a freezer when the cargo only needs chilling
Fresh produce, flowers and some dairy suffer below 0°C. If the product is sold fresh, a chiller vehicle protects it better and costs less to run.
Sending two vehicles when one dual-zone truck would do
Supermarket and catering clients often run a chiller and a freezer to the same address. A dual-zone reefer truck carries both, saving a driver, a loading slot and fuel.
Choosing a truck for a city-centre route
Many Downtown, DIFC and Marina buildings restrict trucks or have low basement clearance. Two 1 ton vans often finish the same route faster than one 3 ton truck.
Leaving summer and Ramadan bookings to the last week
Large trucks and high-roof vans book out first in peak season. Reserving early, or adding a seasonal vehicle to a monthly contract, keeps your route covered.
- Questions We Get Often
Fleet Rental — Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles are in the GlacierLine fleet?
The fleet covers 1 ton chiller vans and freezer vans, 2–3 ton refrigerated vans, 3–5 ton chiller trucks, 3–7 ton freezer trucks and 5–10 ton refrigerated reefer trucks, supported by tail lift trucks and pickup trucks for non-refrigerated cargo.
What is the difference between a chiller, a freezer and a refrigerated vehicle?
A chiller vehicle holds cargo between 0°C and +8°C, so it stays cool without freezing. A freezer vehicle holds cargo between −18°C and −22°C, so it stays frozen solid. A refrigerated vehicle is the umbrella term; in our fleet it means a unit that switches between chiller and freezer settings, or a reefer truck with dual-zone compartments.
How do I choose the right tonnage?
Start with the weight and volume of your heaviest single trip. A 1 ton van covers daily restaurant, florist and pharmacy runs. A 2–3 ton refrigerated van suits multi-drop routes that outgrow a van. Trucks from 3 to 10 ton carry palletised loads for supermarkets, distributors and cold stores. If you are between sizes, book the larger vehicle so cold air can circulate around the cargo.
Can I rent any vehicle hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly?
Yes. Every vehicle in the fleet is available on hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly terms. Hourly bookings carry a short minimum block to cover pre-cooling and dispatch, while monthly and quarterly contracts give the lowest per-day rate.
Which vehicles are available self-drive?
The 1 ton Toyota Hiace chiller van, the 1 ton freezer van, the refrigerated van and the pickup truck are available self-drive for businesses with a valid UAE trade licence and a driver holding a UAE driving licence. High-roof vans and all trucks are driver-operated.
