Temperature-controlled freight

Refrigerated logistics

Refrigerated and temperature-controlled transport across the UK and Europe, planned around the product range, equipment, route, documentation and delivery conditions.

How the service is planned

Built from the cargo data, route and delivery requirement.

Carnigo coordinates specialist refrigerated partners for chilled and frozen freight. Before booking, we establish the required set point and tolerance, packaging, loading temperature, monitoring expectation, vehicle type, border requirements and consignee procedure so the cold-chain brief is commercially and operationally clear.

Cold-chain planning guide

Temperature is one part of the operating brief.

A reliable refrigerated movement starts with precise product data. Required temperature, acceptable tolerance, packaging, air circulation, pre-cooling, loading time and door-opening exposure should be agreed before vehicle dispatch.

01Chilled

Positive controlled temperature

Product-specific set point

Used for goods that must remain cool without freezing, with the agreed tolerance stated in the booking brief.

02Frozen

Negative controlled temperature

Product-specific set point

Requires suitable pre-cooled equipment, loading discipline and a confirmed frozen-cargo handling plan.

03Multi-temperature

Separate temperature zones

Specialist equipment

Useful where compatible product groups need different set points within one controlled movement.

04Reefer container

20ft or 40ft HC equipment

Ocean cold chain

For international sea movements requiring powered temperature-controlled container equipment and port planning.

Planning note: Temperature regimes below are service categories, not product advice. The shipper must confirm the product-specific range, packaging and regulatory requirements.

Documents and data

The references behind the movement.

Transport paperwork, customs data and shipment instructions must describe the same goods. Carnigo follows those links through the operating chain.

TEMP BRIEF

Set point and tolerance

The booking records the required temperature range, monitoring expectation and any pre-cooling instruction.

INV / PL

Product and shipment data

Commodity description, package count, weights, origin and any controlled-goods information must align.

BORDER

Customs and regulatory documents

Depending on product and route, customs, health, excise or other documentary controls may apply.

TEMP RECORD

Temperature evidence

Where agreed and available, the carrier’s temperature record is requested alongside delivery confirmation.

Trusted partner network

Wider capacity. Comparable rates. One Carnigo contact.

Carnigo sources refrigerated capacity through specialist partners rather than treating cold-chain freight as ordinary haulage. We compare equipment, temperature capability, route, monitoring and partner rate before confirming a solution.

Operational scope

What Carnigo coordinates.

Each booking is built around the confirmed cargo, route, Incoterms, equipment and border process. Responsibilities and handovers are made clear before movement.
