What is Temperature Controlled Cargo?

Temperature controlled cargo refers to goods that require a specific temperature range to be maintained during transportation to ensure their quality and safety. This type of cargo includes perishable items such as fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meat, and pharmaceuticals. Temperature controlled cargo is typically transported in specialized containers or vehicles equipped with refrigeration or heating systems that can maintain the required temperature range. The temperature is monitored throughout the transportation process to ensure that it remains within the specified range. This helps to prevent spoilage, degradation, or other damage to the cargo, and ensures that it arrives at its destination in good condition.
