Our Refrigerated LTL Transportation
Our Refrigerated LTL Trucking professionals can customize your freight quote specific to your shipping needs. With state-of-the-art technology and consistent training, our professionals can help you with all your refrigerated trucking needs.
With the use of E-Track systems, we can incorporate insulated barriers called bulkheads that separate sections of the trailer into individual climate-controlled compartments for Refrigerated LTL cargo. Each compartment can be set to a specific temperature from sub-zero to chilled to dry, or room-temperature.
Due to the insulation of the truck’s trailer and the insulation of the bulkheads, the cargo within remains at a steady temperature throughout the haul. Bulkheads can be stationed anywhere within the trailer, making the compartment sizes completely customizable.
Here you can see how the E-Track lines the walls of the trailer while there is an insulated door placed over the trailer’s side door. This helps to ensure no air is leaked or introduced into the trailer while en route and the temperature remains the same within the trailer.
The insulated bulkheads that attach to the E-Track are heavy-duty with their own refrigeration units and fans built into them. This allows for the temperature of different compartments within the same trailer to be drastically different allowing for a wide range of cargo in an LTL (Less than Load) capacity. In this manner, we can haul frozen foods, chilled goods and dry goods in the same trailer.
Best Advantages of Refrigerated LTL Trucking
Providing more than one solution and customizing your refrigerated LTL transportation needs, our refrigerated LTL services offer you the following benefits.
Preservation of Perishable Items
Refrigerated LTL freight such as fresh produce, dairy, meat, poultry, beverages, spirits, wine, pharmaceuticals, and frozen freight such as ice cream, desserts, seafood, manufactured foods, bread and meats, all require a temperature-controlled environment during transport. West Coast Carriers ensures your products are kept at the correct temperature from origin to destination on all refrigerated LTL trucking shipments.
Minimized Carbon Footprint
Consolidating refrigerated shipments from multiple carriers to have fewer refrigerated partials on the road can significantly reduce carbon emissions.
