Today, more and more companies need specialized transport with strict temperature control – especially when it comes to food, beverages, pharmaceutical products or goods with specific requirements.

But customers often ask: what is the difference between single-temperature, bi-temperature and multi-temperature transport, and which one is right for my cargo?

Single-temperature transport

Single-temperature transport means that the entire trailer maintains one and the same temperature.

Technical specifications:

  • Temperature range: –25°C to +25°C
  • Capacity: up to 33 Euro pallets
  • Height: 2.65 m
  • Payload: up to 22,500 kg

Suitable for:

  • • Frozen foods
  • • Meat and meat products
  • • Dairy products
  • • Pharmaceutical products

It is suitable for cargo with identical requirements – for example frozen foods, meat, dairy products or pharmaceuticals.

Bi-temperature transport

Bi-temperature transport allows the trailer to be divided into two separate zones with different temperatures.

Features:

  • • Two independent temperature zones
  • • Different volumes for each zone
  • • Temperature control
  • • Height: varies between 2.45 – 2.50 m

Example use:

Front: –18°C
Frozen products
Rear: +4°C
Fresh goods

This solution is extremely useful for customers who need to transport different types of goods simultaneously, but under different conditions.

Multi-temperature transport

Multi-temperature transport also allows the cargo to be divided, but the parameters are the same for the entire trailer. This is a more flexible option when the goods have similar requirements and uniform cooling or freezing must be ensured.

Advantages:

  • • Identical parameters for the entire trailer
  • • Uniform cooling in every section
  • • Suitable for large quantities of the same goods
  • • Flexibility in cargo organization

Multi-temperature transport is preferred for large quantities of the same goods, where uniform temperature maintenance in every part of the trailer is important.

Which type should you choose?

Single-temperature

If you are transporting only one type of goods

Bi-temperature

If you are combining different products (frozen and fresh)

Multi-temperature

If you have a large volume of goods with similar requirements
