Refrigerated Vehicles

Temperature-controlled load space for chilled and frozen freight. Our 1.5 tonne refrigerated van holds down to −18°C, so it carries fridge and freezer goods on the same run — and it still drives on a standard car licence.

Typical work: meat and seafood runs, dairy and produce deliveries, frozen goods for cafes and restaurants, catering and event drops, and pharmaceutical or floristry freight that must not break temperature.

Enquire for long-term deals on refrigerated vans — weekly and monthly hire is priced well below the daily rate.

Chilled or frozen?

One van does both — the difference is how you set it and how you load it.

Chilled freight

Dairy, produce, meat, seafood and anything that has to stay above freezing but below ambient. Set the unit to the temperature on your product spec and load it pre-chilled — the van holds temperature, it isn't designed to pull warm stock down.

Frozen freight

Ice cream, frozen ready meals, frozen meat and anything that must not soften in transit. Run the unit at −18°C and keep door openings short — every stop on a multi-drop run costs you cold.

Running a cold chain?

If you deliver temperature-controlled freight week in, week out, you shouldn't be on a walk-up daily rate. We set up ongoing arrangements with food, catering and pharmaceutical operators across the western suburbs — ABN invoicing, and long-term hire savings on top.

Common questions

The unit is rated to −18°C, which covers frozen goods as well as chilled. Tell us what you're carrying when you book and we'll confirm the van is set and pre-cooled before you collect it.
No. It's built on the Toyota HiAce super long wheelbase, so a standard Australian car licence covers it — the same licence that covers our cargo vans.
The unit runs off the vehicle, so temperature is maintained while you're driving and during normal short stops. It isn't a substitute for a cold room overnight — if you need stock held off-vehicle, plan for that at your end.
Yes, and temperature-sensitive non-food work is common — pharmaceuticals, flowers and some chemicals. The van must be returned clean and free of odour, because the next hirer is very likely carrying food.
$200 per day including GST. If you are running a regular cold-chain route, ask us about long-term rates — weekly and monthly arrangements come in well under the daily rate. Ring 0402 157 360 or send us the details.
