Need a 2-pallet refrigerated truck for a CBD multi-drop, a tailgate-equipped reefer for kerbside grocery, a 22-pallet refrigerated semi-trailer for interstate linehaul, or a dual-zone multi-temperature trailer to run frozen and chilled on the same route? Talk to dispatch — every Brisbane and Queensland run is matched to the right vehicle, not the next available one.
Fleet standards
Standards on every refrigerated run.
Cold-chain integrity is engineered, not assumed. Every Brisbane reefer leaves the yard against the same operating checklist.
Trailer pre-cooling
Every refrigerated trailer is brought down to its target temperature before cargo is loaded — so the chain starts at temperature, not catching up.
Calibrated probes
Hand-held core-temperature probes are calibrated on schedule and used at every pickup and delivery for HACCP-aligned record-keeping.
Hygiene discipline
Trailers are cleaned between sensitive-cargo loads — allergen, raw-meat and pharma runs are managed on documented changeover routines.
Scheduled maintenance
Refrigeration units, chassis and ancillary equipment serviced on plan, with paperwork retained for the life of the vehicle.
Pre-trip & delivery
The four-step cold-chain process.
From pre-cool to proof-of-delivery — how a refrigerated run is operated across Brisbane and Queensland.
- 01
Trailer pre-cooled to set point
Every refrigerated trailer is pulled down to its target temperature before a single pallet is loaded — the cold chain starts at temperature, not chasing it.
- 02
Probe checked, cargo loaded, temperature logged
Hand-held core-temperature probes verify cargo on the dock. Pickup readings are written to the run sheet and tied to the consignment record.
- 03
Direct route, door discipline enforced
Drivers run sequenced multi-drop routes with minimised door-open events. Set-point integrity is the driver's responsibility on every leg.
- 04
Probe checked again on POD, kept on file
Delivery probe readings are logged on the proof-of-delivery pack and retained — a verifiable chain-of-custody record, not a vague promise.
