Small and medium-sized businesses, especially in the food sector, often need temporary refrigerated transport due to work peaks. For this type of business (such as ice cream parlors and pastry shops that supply restaurants or deliver home) temperature-controlled transport becomes a real necessity in the summer time but buying an insulated commercial vehicle is not the most sustainable choice due to high initial costs and maintenance. So the most convenient option is to contact a rental company.
For a car rental, having Coldtainer refrigerated isothermal containers provided, leads to an advantage in economic terms. The use of portable refrigerated units, flexible and totally reversible solutions, allows to avoid the purchase of insulated vehicles (goods that remain immobilized), to keep the residual value of the vehicles unchanged and to offer customers temperature-controlled transport solutions by simply loading the refrigerators on board the vans when required.
Coldtainer models are ATP approved. ATP (ECE / TRANS / 271) is the international agreement concerning the transport of perishable foodstuffs and the means to be used for this transport. All models, from T0082, are ATP certificated as FRAX or FRCX class, depending on the version.
Standard Coldtainer refrigerators work with 12V power supply from vehicle battery, but the AuO line of refrigerated containers is undoubtedly the best option for rental companies: functioning independently from the vehicle thanks to a rechargeable battery, the AuO models do not require any wiring inside the van and, once loaded on board, after a charging cycle, they are immediately ready for use.
