Take a look at what KTL Europe do to ship temperature controlled freight.
3 factors that make temperature-controlled freight services crucial
While there are many items that are transported around the world every day, and for which there is not a need to be greatly vigilant about the outside temperature or environment, this is not the case for every item for which freight services may be required.
This brings us neatly onto the subject of temperature-controlled freight, and the imperative role that it plays. As the term suggests, these services are designed to ensure a given product being delivered is kept at a consistent temperature for the duration of its journey.
But what exactly makes temperature-controlled freight such a high priority for many of those shipping certain sensitive items? Below, we have set out three of the common reasons.
It helps preserve perishable items
There are certain categories of product that simply could not be maintained in the same condition throughout their journey, in the absence of temperature control.
Goods such as milk, eggs, fresh fruit, ice cream, and certain electronics and medical items – even organs for donation – need to be maintained at a certain consistent temperature when they are being moved across what may be vast distances.
If there was no temperature control, products like these would turn up at their destination in mouldy or unusable condition, or they might even be destroyed by the varying conditions during transit.
It helps businesses to open up new markets
You might have heard of the term “cold chain logistics”; this refers to the arrangements that are put in place to keep a product within a specified low-temperature range, from the moment it is produced or harvested, right through to consumption.
Temperature-controlled freight forms just one part of this process. Nonetheless, it is an imperative component for businesses that need to preserve the items they sell in optimal condition for the entirety of their journey to the final customer.
A business that aspires to sell meats, for example, or flowers, in another country or region, would not be able to provide the same quality of product to those other markets as they could to their local area, if temperature-controlled freight and other cold chain solutions did not exist.
It helps ensure customer safety and satisfaction
Businesses operating around the globe – and indeed, those that limit themselves to their domestic markets – are legally obliged to maintain temperature-sensitive products at certain temperatures. This is crucial for preserving such goods and protecting human health.
After all, if meat – for example – wasn’t kept in temperature-controlled conditions, this situation would lend itself to the growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, which could cause ill health.
Even if regulations to this effect didn’t exist, it would hardly serve a business’s reputation well – and therefore its chances of maintaining strong international partnerships or even surviving – if the people consuming its products frequently fell ill.
Even in the absence of any health risks, temperature-controlled freight helps to ensure that sensitive products arrive at their destination in immaculate condition – thereby aiding the business’s efforts to achieve high customer satisfaction.
So, from all the above, you can hopefully begin to see how vital it is to implement effective cold-chain arrangements for particular products, such as food products that must be kept at certain temperatures.
Here at KTL, we would be pleased to discuss how we can tailor our services to your most demanding requirements, including in relation to temperature-controlled freight. Please feel free to enquire to us today to find out more.
