Deep-freeze vans for ice cream, frozen meat and seafood — pre-cooled to a hard −18 °C, from 1-ton to 5-ton, hired by the day, month or on long-term contract.
We’re a UAE cold-chain company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, offering freezer van hire alongside chiller vans and trucks to businesses that can’t afford for the cold to slip. Frozen transport is unforgiving in this climate, which is why every freezer van is pre-cooled to −18 °C, serviced on schedule, and built to hold deep-freeze against a 45 °C afternoon.
From our Abu Dhabi base we reach the entire country — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates — with inter-emirate runs on request. Whether you need one freezer van for a weekend or a dedicated frozen fleet on contract, you deal with a team that knows exactly how fast a frozen load turns in the sun.
A freezer van holds your load down to −18 °C — the temperature frozen food must stay at from the moment it leaves a cold store until it’s delivered. It’s a different vehicle from a chiller van, built to reach and hold a far colder band.
Here’s the distinction that matters: a chiller van is tuned for 0–8 °C fresh goods and simply can’t pull a load down to −18 °C or keep it there. A freezer van — sometimes called a frozen van, deep-freeze van or −18 van — has the insulation and refrigeration capacity to hold deep-freeze even with the doors opening on a multi-drop route in peak heat. If your goods must stay frozen solid, this is the van; a chiller won’t do the job. Need fresh, not frozen? See chiller vans →held.
We rent freezer vans right across the UAE in 1-ton to 5-ton sizes, with or without a driver, from a single day to a long-term contract. Tell us what you’re moving — ice cream, frozen meat, seafood or frozen bakery — and how far, and we’ll match the exact frozen van to your load.
A freezer van from us is more than a cold box on wheels. Each hire is set up so your frozen deliveries stay frozen and arrive on time, with the operational headaches handled.
Every freezer van is pulled down to deep-freeze before it reaches you, so you load straight into a frozen hold — never a warm one that lets stock soften.
Rent for a single day, take a discounted monthly rate, or set up a dedicated frozen fleet on a fixed-price contract. Scale up or down as demand moves.
Self-drive, or add one of our drivers who know frozen-load handling — quick loading, tight door discipline and holding −18 °C across a multi-drop route.
Add live temperature monitoring where a client, auditor or protocol needs proof the frozen chain held for the whole journey.
The freezer unit is serviced on schedule, and if one ever needs work we send a replacement van — your frozen deliveries don't stop because ours does.
We deliver the pre-cooled freezer van anywhere in the UAE, or you collect from us — whichever fits your operation and your timings.
From a nimble 1-ton freezer van for ice-cream rounds to a 5-ton frozen van for bulk distribution — every size holds a hard −18 °C.
Payloads are indicative — tell us your volume, route and number of drops and we’ll confirm the exact freezer van size. Need a dual-zone multi-temp van for mixed frozen and chilled loads, or a pallet-capacity freezer truck? We have those too.
A rough starting point for matching a freezer van size to your sector and typical frozen load. We’ll fine-tune it to your exact route.
| Van size | Approx payload | Best load type | Industries it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Ton | ~1,000 kg | Small frozen last-mile | Ice-cream vendors, small caterers, frozen home delivery |
| 2 Ton | ~2,000 kg | Daily frozen multi-drop | Restaurants, cloud kitchens, mini-marts |
| 3 Ton | ~3,000 kg | Frozen route distribution | Supermarkets, frozen-food distributors |
| 5 Ton | ~5,000 kg | Bulk frozen loads | Wholesalers, cold stores, retail chains |
| Multi-temp | Varies | Frozen + chilled together | Mixed-load operators, hotels, catering groups |
Plenty of places will rent you a cold van. The difference shows in the details that decide whether your frozen load actually arrives at −18 °C.
01
A freezer van given to you warm lets stock soften before you even load. Ours are pre-cooled to deep-freeze — the cheapest insurance a frozen load can have.
02
Proper insulation and refrigeration capacity keep −18 °C steady through repeated door openings on a hot multi-drop route.
03
Scheduled servicing and a replacement van if a unit needs work mean a maintenance issue never becomes your problem — or your thawed stock.
04
Overnight frozen restocking and early runs are normal here — so booking and dispatch run 24/7, holidays included.
05
From Abu Dhabi we cover all seven emirates and know the routes, receiving bays and timings that keep frozen deliveries moving.
06
Temperature monitoring and reporting for clients and auditors who require evidence the frozen chain held end to end.
Once frozen stock starts to thaw, you usually can't save it — re-freezing thawed food is unsafe and often not legally resalable. In UAE heat a warm van or a long door-open stop is all it takes, so we pre-cool to −18 °C and keep door-open time short on every drop.
If your product has to stay frozen from cold store to customer, a freezer van is part of your supply chain. These are the frozen sectors we move for most.
The least forgiving frozen load
Cold store to kitchen or retail
Catch and cold store to market
Dough, pastries, prepared meals
Frozen-aisle restocking
Multi-drop frozen delivery
Real feedback from operations that run on the frozen cold chain every day. (Replace with your own verified reviews before launch.)
Our ice cream arrives rock-solid every time. The freezer van turns up pre-cooled to −18 °C, so nothing softens between the store and the shops.

We run frozen meat and seafood on a 3-ton freezer van, monthly. Servicing is handled and a replacement showed up the same day when a unit needed work.

Temperature monitoring gives us the frozen-chain proof our retail buyers ask for. Reliable and genuinely helpful on scheduling.

Tell us your frozen load, route and dates. We’ll confirm the right pre-cooled −18 °C freezer van — from 1 ton to 5 ton, daily to long-term, with or without a driver.
A freezer van holds down to about −18 °C — the standard for frozen food and other frozen goods. For fresh, non-frozen loads, a chiller van at 0–8 °C is the right choice instead.
No — a chiller van tops out around 0–8 °C and can’t hold −18 °C, so frozen stock would begin to thaw. Frozen loads need a proper freezer van (a “deep-freeze” or “−18 van”).
We rent 1-ton, 2-ton, 3-ton and 5-ton freezer vans, plus dual-zone multi-temp vans and larger freezer trucks. Payloads run from around 1,000 kg up to 5,000 kg.
Always. We pull every freezer van down to −18 °C before handover, so you never load frozen stock into a warm hold — which in UAE heat would start it thawing immediately.
Yes — ice cream is one of the most demanding frozen loads, and keeping it at −18 °C from factory to store is exactly what these frozen vans are for.
Yes — one day is the minimum, with day-by-day extension, and monthly and long-term rates are cheaper for ongoing routes. We cover the whole UAE from our Abu Dhabi base, including Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
