Temperature-controlled transport means carriage in a refrigerated trailer (reefer) that holds a set temperature for the whole route. What matters is not a single figure on the thermometer, but the continuity of the cold chain from loading to delivery. At OTSL we run temperature-controlled transport and combine it with warehousing and customs.
Why continuity matters most
- A single break in cooling can ruin the fitness of a whole batch.
- Sensitive goods often need temperature recorded along the route.
- Transhipment without refrigerated facilities is a weak link in the chain.
How we handle it
We run reefer trailers, and our warehouses have temperature-controlled space, including in Milton Keynes in the UK. So transhipment or short storage does not knock the goods out of regime. We agree the required temperature and how it is confirmed before departure, instead of assuming everyone means the same thing.
The UK lane and temperature
On the route to the UK, customs and the crossing are added to the temperature regime. We plan them so the goods do not wait needlessly at the border, because every spare hour is a risk for sensitive cargo. We confirm the exact parameters for your goods individually.
