Refrigerated Trailers
Our refrigerated semi-trailer transport service ensures goods are transported at controlled temperatures. The use of a hard body with insulation and a refrigeration unit at the front of the semi-trailer allows for effective temperature control. The semi-trailer's heavier construction, typically made of metal or fibreglass, prevents odour absorption and facilitates easy cleaning of the interior. Our refrigeration units offer precise temperature control ranging from -20 to +20 degrees Celsius, ensuring optimal conditions for transporting goods.

Why choose a refrigerated semi-trailer? What can it carry?
Due to their properties, reefer semi-trailers are mainly used in the logistics of fresh and frozen goods, but also in the pharmaceutical industry. Refrigerated trucks are additionally ideal for maintaining a positive temperature during the winter months, protecting goods sensitive to low temperatures and freezing, such as paints and varnishes.
Our refrigerated semi-trailers have:
Goods and industries that most often choose refrigerated trailers:
sweets
frozen foods
dairy products
fruit, vegetables and preserves
beverages
meat products
Refrigerated trailers are a reliable way to transport temperature-sensitive goods
Are you looking for a reliable partner to transport your goods with refrigerated semi-trailers in controlled and safe conditions? If so, we are the company for you. Our vehicles are equipped with semi-trailers made of rigid bodies, which are additionally covered with a thermal insulation layer. Thanks to the front-mounted refrigeration units, the load compartments remain at a constant temperature regardless of the ambient conditions.
Refrigerated trailer transport - a practical solution and a range of benefits
A refrigerated semi-trailer is a system specifically designed for loading and transporting perishable goods, such as foodstuffs. We are pleased to offer our customers transport services using dedicated trailers that:
- are made of materials that do not absorb odours (e.g. metal or fibreglass),
- are easy to clean,
- They have a capacity of 87 cubic metres and can carry up to 23 tonnes of cargo.
Our company's services are primarily provided to businesses specialising in cosmetics, frozen food and food products such as dairy, meat and fruit.
Semi-trailer with refrigeration unit - why you should use its capabilities
Refrigerated trailers for pharmaceuticals and frozen cargo are carefully designed and constructed to combine strength (capable of compensating for uneven roadways), minimal heat loss (thanks to suitably designed walls), and high capacity. In addition, we carry out transport using semi-trailers in which the cooling process is controlled so that the temperature inside is between -20 and +20 degrees Celsius. These technical solutions are not only effective during summer months, but are also employed during winter, when products such as paints and varnishes, which are sensitive to low temperatures and freezing, require transportation.
Refrigerated trailers – type and capacity
The refrigerated semi-trailer has internal dimensions of 13.4 m x 2.45 m x 2.65 m (length x width x height), so it is large enough to accommodate 33 Euro pallets. Internally, a set of sensors is in place to monitor the temperature stability within the trailer. A bespoke control system is utilised to operate the refrigeration unit, thereby regulating the internal conditions. The semi-trailer is suitable for transporting items such as:
- meat, fish, dairy, fruit, vegetables, frozen food, ice cream,
- flowers and ornamental plants,
- industrial and chemical products,
- cosmetics, as well as temperature-sensitive medical materials.
Thanks to their rigid body and additional anti-theft security features, our refrigerated trailers with the genset switched off are ideal for transporting high-value products such as electronics, white goods, perfumes or spirits.
FAQ
GMP+ FSA (Feed Safety Assurance) is a certification aimed at ensuring the safety of feed fed to livestock. This standard covers all stages of feed production and therefore applies to both cultivation and transport. GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices and the '+' symbolises integration with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). The GMP+ certification has set the standard for the quality of our order handling since 2016.
ISO 22000 specifies the requirements for food safety management systems, applicable to all organisations in the food production chain, from cultivation and farming to retail. ISO 22000 sets a standard that is relevant not only for food producers, but also for manufacturers of equipment, packaging, cleaning products, food additives and ingredients. At our company, we are committed to ensuring the safety of the food and its ingredients we transport and store, and as proof of this commitment, we have been ISO certified for 15 years.
The spacious set is an excellent choice for transporting relatively light goods due to its ability to carry up to 38 pallets. However, due to the two loading spaces, the loading and unloading process may be lengthier. During loading, the trailer typically needs to be uncoupled first to allow the truck to be filled with goods, and then re-coupled by the driver to continue loading. The new jumbo trucks in the MEXEM fleet offer a more efficient solution by allowing loading without unbuckling the trailer, significantly reducing the time and effort required for the process. These trucks feature openable rear and front walls of the vehicle's load compartment and trailer, which are fitted with a drop-down aluminium platform, enabling the truck to manoeuvre between the load boxes.
The ATP Convention is an international document that details the standards associated with the transport of food and other perishable goods. Road transport is subject to the Convention, so any vehicle used for the transport of perishable goods must have a certificate of conformity for the means of transport, commonly referred to as an ATP certificate. The certificate is valid for six years, after which further tests must be carried out every three years. These certificates are issued by institutions designated by the Ministry of Transport. All our refrigerated semi-trailers are, as a matter of course, equipped with ATP certificates.
The mega semi-trailer is distinguished by its very large volume, reaching almost 100 cubic metres (which is approximately 10% more volume than a standard semi-trailer). Increasing the load compartment while maintaining the permissible overall height of the vehicle is made possible by lowering the frame and increasing the height of the trailer interior. The hydraulically raised roof makes it easier to load and fully utilise the height of the loading space, which reaches almost 3 metres. A prime example of the advantages of mega-trailers over standard semi-trailers is the ability to carry not two, but three floors of goods such as cookers or washing machines, all while maintaining safety standards.
The maximum weight of a pallet placed on the floor of our double deck semi-trailers is approximately 300 kg (the load capacity of each beam is 1 tonne). The height of the pallets should not exceed 120 cm. Our double decks are available with a rigid body or are additionally equipped with insulation and a refrigeration unit and can therefore function as a double-deck refrigerated trailer.
