Pallet-capacity refrigerated trucks — also called reefer trucks — in chiller (0–8 °C) or freezer (−18 °C) builds, for bulk and inter-emirate cold transport across the UAE.
We’re a UAE cold-chain company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, running refrigerated trucks — chiller and freezer — alongside our van fleet for businesses moving cold loads at scale. Cold transport is the whole business, which is why every reefer truck is pre-cooled, serviced on schedule, and ready for a 45 °C afternoon.
From our Abu Dhabi base we cover the entire country — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates — with inter-emirate and long-haul runs a daily part of the job. Whether you need one truck for a week or a dedicated fleet on contract, you deal with a team that knows the routes, the ports and the receiving bays.
“Refrigerated truck” and “reefer truck” mean the same thing — a truck that keeps a bulk load at a controlled temperature. Like vans, reefers split into chiller and freezer builds; the size is what sets a truck apart from a van.
A reefer truck (short for “refrigerated truck”, and also called a refrigerated lorry) is what you move up to when a van runs out of room. Instead of loose cartons it carries pallets, usually with a tail lift for quick loading, and it’s built for inter-emirate and long-haul distances rather than city last-mile.
You still choose by temperature. A chiller truck holds 0–8 °C for bulk fresh produce, dairy and beverages; a freezer truck holds −18 °C for frozen food, meat and ice cream at scale. See chiller trucks → See freezer trucks →
We rent refrigerated trucks across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, pre-cooled before every load, with or without a driver, from a single day to a long-term contract. Moving smaller quantities? A refrigerated van may be the better fit — tell us the load and we’ll size it right.
A reefer truck from us is set up so your bulk cold loads arrive at temperature and on schedule, with the operational headaches handled.
Every refrigerated truck is pulled to its target temperature — 0–8 °C or −18 °C — before you load, so the whole trailer starts cold.
Most reefers come with a tail lift and pallet-width bodies for fast, safe loading of bulk and palletised cold freight.
Self-drive, or add an experienced reefer driver who knows long-haul cold-chain handling and inter-emirate routes.
Add live temperature monitoring and reporting where a client or auditor needs proof the cold held across a long run.
The refrigeration unit is serviced on schedule, with a replacement truck if one is ever off the road — your distribution keeps moving.
Built and routed for bulk runs between emirates and to the ports, not just city drops.
Every size runs as a chiller (0–8 °C) or freezer (−18 °C) build. From a 3-ton reefer for regional multi-drop to a 40ft reefer trailer for long-haul bulk.
Capacities are indicative — tell us pallet count, temperature and route and we’ll confirm the exact reefer truck. Smaller load? A pallet-friendly refrigerated van may suit better.
A rough starting point for matching a reefer truck size to your load and route. We’ll fine-tune size and temperature to your operation.
| Truck size | Approx capacity | Best load type | Industries it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 Ton | ~4-5 pallets | Regional multi-drop | Supermarkets, F&B distributors |
| 7 Ton | ~8-10 pallets | Inter-emirate routes | FMCG, wholesale, retail chains |
| 10 Ton | ~12-14 pallets | Bulk distribution | Large distributors, cold stores |
| Trailer 12t+ | ~20-24 pallets | Long-haul / port | 3PL, importers, national distribution |
The difference shows in the details that keep a bulk load at temperature over a long, hot run.
01
A trailer handed over warm never recovers on a long haul in 45 °C heat. Ours are cold before you load.
02
Both 0–8 °C and −18 °C from one supplier, plus multi-temp where a route needs both.
03
Scheduled servicing and a replacement truck mean a breakdown never strands your distribution.
04
We run Dubai–Abu Dhabi–Sharjah and the northern emirates daily and know the routes and receiving windows.
05
Trucks set up for palletised cold freight, not improvised loading.
06
Temperature monitoring and reporting for auditors and big-box receivers.
The most expensive mistake is the wrong size: a truck half-empty burns money, a van overloaded breaks the cold chain. Tell us pallet count and route and we'll put you in the right vehicle — reefer truck or refrigerated van — first time.
If you move cold stock by the pallet, a reefer truck is part of your supply chain. These are the sectors we haul for most.
Reefer container drayage
Bulk chilled & frozen restocking
Bulk fresh and frozen
Growers, packers, wholesalers
Palletised cold distribution
Central-kitchen supply runs

Tell us your pallet count, temperature and route. We’ll confirm the right pre-cooled reefer truck — chiller or freezer, 3 ton to trailer, daily to long-term.
A reefer truck is simply a refrigerated truck (or refrigerated lorry) — a truck that holds a bulk load at a controlled temperature, either 0–8 °C (chiller) or −18 °C (freezer).
Size and capacity. A refrigerated truck carries pallets and bulk over inter-emirate and long-haul distances, usually with a tail lift; a van suits smaller city and last-mile loads.
Most do — a tail lift makes palletised cold freight fast and safe to load. Tell us your loading setup and we’ll confirm.
Both. We rent chiller trucks (0–8 °C) and freezer trucks (−18 °C), plus multi-temp where a route needs both bands.
Yes — inter-emirate and long-haul cold transport across the UAE is a core part of what we do, from our Abu Dhabi base.
Yes — daily, monthly and long-term contracts, with better rates and dedicated trucks for ongoing distribution.
