Refrigerated shipping with the required temperature conditions maintained
Trucks for shipping meat, fish and fruit in a reefer, with temperature control
Reefer freight transport means shipping cargo in bodies specially equipped with refrigeration units that maintain the optimal temperature for the goods. Under such conditions, delivery can be carried out over any distance and within any timeframe without damaging the product. Reefer shipping is simply indispensable when transporting perishable goods and medicines.
To guarantee high-quality shipping of cargo in a reefer across Russia and beyond, the vehicle must be chosen correctly, taking the required parameters into account. The specialists of our exchange will help select the best option for any customer order. The list of all types of services is available on our information and logistics website com-stil.com
Features of reefer cargo shipping
One of the key mechanisms for transporting goods in reefers is the temperature sensor inside the body. It allows the required temperature in the reefer to be set during shipping, from +12 to -20 degrees, regardless of the ambient temperature conditions. The range of functions includes freezing, cooling and heating. This makes it possible to protect products from spoiling during an unforeseen stop at the border, for example. That is why international reefer shipping of perishable cargo is in high demand among customers. All vehicles undergo careful selection before being dispatched on a route and are equipped with GPS navigators. Our company guarantees:
- payload within the stated limits;
- technical soundness of the vehicle;
- extensive experience and high qualifications of the drivers;
- an optimal route;
- a cargo security system.
On this basis, our customers can be confident that their goods will remain intact during transportation. Every cargo is placed in the reefer in accordance with the instructions and in compliance with temperature control standards.
Which cargoes require reefer shipping
So that goods are not spoiled upon arrival at their destination, certain details of their correct transportation should be taken into account. There is a specific list of products that must be transported by reefer. Most often these are:
- fish and seafood;
- meat and meat products;
- dairy products;
- confectionery;
- medicinal products;
- ornamental plants;
- tobacco products, etc.
Each type of product has a specific storage temperature, and the transport company's task is to provide proper shipping conditions using optimally selected reefer equipment.
How to choose a suitable reefer
To choose the optimal reefer, we take the following cargo parameters into account:
- weight and volume;
- physical and chemical properties (product composition, temperature range, shelf life and so on);
- delivery deadlines;
- route.
The cost of shipping the cargo by reefer is also calculated on the basis of this data. Consider the option of transporting products with different temperature ranges in a single reefer, which will significantly reduce the costs associated with shipping the cargo. Thus, at Com-Stil you can order groupage shipping by reefer both within Russia and to other countries at reasonable prices.
Shipping is carried out in accordance with international standards and in compliance with the TIR and CMR sanitary regulations.

Reefer cargo shipping is a service that requires technically equipped vehicles and specially trained personnel. Given that reefers are used to transport perishable foodstuffs and medicines — goods that are vital for consumers — we recommend turning only to professionals in the international freight market.
In this type of cargo shipping, the smallest details and nuances matter: correct loading and placement of products in the reefer, the temperature set and the permissible fluctuations for each category of product individually, good ventilation of the van, and the reliability of the refrigeration units.
Only a professional freight forwarding company can arrange quality delivery of any cargo, flowers or foodstuffs by reefer: meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, canned goods and more.
Remember that by no means every participant in the shipping market is able to provide this service correctly and reliably; you should not risk your goods in the search for low prices for cargo shipping in reefers.
