Bulk frozen transport built for industrial volumes — sub-zero down to -25°C for wholesale meat and seafood, port catches and cold-storage transfers across Dubai and the UAE.
Some frozen loads are simply too big and too cold for a van. Wholesale meat and seafood, pallets of frozen product moving between cold stores, catches coming off the boats at Dubai’s Waterfront and Deira markets — these need a freezer truck that holds a hard -18 to -25°C across a full box, for hours, in 45°C heat.
Our freezer trucks are heavy-insulated, temperature-monitored and driven by cold-chain professionals. They handle the industrial end of frozen logistics: wholesale distribution, port and seafood runs, and cold-storage transfers. For smaller multi-drop frozen work choose a freezer van; for mixed chilled-and-frozen loads see the 3-ton chiller truck; and browse the full refrigerated truck range.
Booked 24/7 on daily, monthly or long-term terms, with clear pricing and no hidden extras.

Frozen transport has a single enemy: warmth. Chilled transport has two. Run a chiller van too warm and dairy and produce spoil, exactly as you would expect. But run it too cold — or load a crate hard against the cold-air vent — and leafy greens, herbs, flowers and some dairy suffer freezing injury just as surely. The load is ruined; it simply fails from the other direction.
So a chiller van is not about how low it can go. It is about holding a steady, even band and eliminating cold spots. We set the temperature to the product — a touch warmer for delicate produce and blooms, tighter for dairy and chilled pharma — and load away from the vents so no part of the cargo freezes while the rest chills. Precision, not power, is what a good chiller van sells.
The choice comes down to one question: does your product need to stay fresh, or stay frozen?
| Chiller Van | Freezer Van | |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature | +5°C to 0°C | 0°C to −18°C (to −25°C) |
| Cargo state | Fresh / chilled | Frozen |
| Typical cargo | Dairy, produce, prepared meals, flowers | Ice cream, frozen seafood, frozen food |
| Key strength | Even, precise hold that never freezes fresh goods | Fast recovery on frozen multi-drop routes |
| Not suitable for | Anything that must stay frozen | Flowers and fresh produce (freezing damages them) |

A specific size, a bigger chilled load, or the frozen equivalent — here are the closest alternatives.
+5°C to 0°C
Compact and factory-insulated — built for tight, multi-stop city routes.
+5°C to 0°C
Heavier payloads and longer routes, with a dual-temperature zone on request.
0°C to −18°C
Recovers temperature fast between drops — ideal for frozen multi-drop work.
+25°C to −25°C
Full-range bulk and intercity distribution in a single vehicle.
We dispatch across Dubai and run regular cross-emirate corridors, so a single provider covers your whole route.
Our chiller vans hold +5°C down to 0°C, the standard band for chilled and fresh cargo. For chilled pharmaceuticals we can run the tighter +2°C to +8°C range. We set the van to your product rather than to one fixed number, and log the temperature end to end.
A chiller van keeps fresh cargo cold but unfrozen, at +5°C to 0°C — dairy, produce, prepared meals, flowers. A freezer van takes cargo below freezing, to −18°C or colder, for ice cream and frozen food. If your product must stay fresh and not freeze, you need a chiller van; if it must stay frozen, you need a freezer van.
Dairy and eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared and ready meals, cut flowers, chilled beverages, fresh bakery, and chilled pharmaceuticals. Chiller vans are built for high-frequency, multi-stop city delivery of fresh goods.
It can if it is run carelessly, and that is the real skill of chilled transport. Set too low, or loaded right against the cold-air vents, leafy produce, herbs and flowers suffer freezing injury. We hold a steady, even band and load away from cold spots, so fresh cargo arrives chilled but never frozen.
Both. Hire the van with one of our cold-chain drivers, who know Dubai multi-drop routes and fresh-goods handling, or self-drive with your own team.
The minimum is one day, with weekly, monthly and long-term contracts for regular routes. Every van is HACCP-certified and logs temperature throughout, so you have proof of cold for Dubai Municipality and food-safety records on request.
Tell us the cargo, the drops and the term. We will confirm the van and have a quote back fast — with same-day dispatch where you need it.
