Trailers

Three trailer sizes.
One cold-chain standard.

The 30-pallet 15-metre trailer is the workhorse for export fruit. It is PPECB-approved, meaning citrus, grapes and stone fruit can load straight from a packhouse to our trailer to the port without breaking the chain or the audit trail.

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.

Every unit logs supply-air and return-air temperature continuously across the trip. Records available on request for your QC team, your insurer, and the export market that audits both.
