Trailers

Three trailer sizes.
One cold-chain standard.

The 30-pallet, 15-metre trailer is used for larger loads and export fruit. PPECB-approved 15-metre trailers form part of the cold truck offering. Discuss the equipment and documentation required for your load with the cold trucks desk.

The 20-pallet covers mid-distance and lanes where 15-metre access is tight. The 14-pallet is sized for Western Cape distribution, urban depot pickups and packhouses with smaller bays.

Temperature records are available on request. Let the cold trucks desk know what your quality-control team needs, including set-points and documentation.
