New FridgeXpress dual-evap rental fleet nets interest from the UK’s fishmongers and leading grocers

The new standard specification of dual evaporated refrigerated vans on FridgeXpress’s rental fleet have proved themselves to be ideal for a broad range of UK’s cold-chain delivery sectors which have expressed an interest in minimising delivery mileages across fleets.

Originally specified to meet the stringent requirements the UK’s pharmaceutical industry, FridgeXpress’s latest standard specification of rental vans feature a removable mattress bulkhead, and with dual refrigeration systems, the vans can transport various loads with diverse refrigeration requirements at the same time.

Thanks to the high degree of temperature control offered by their insulation, with the rear doors modified for freeze operations with additional temperature-control sheeting fitted and key-out temperature control, fluctuations are minimised in a door-open scenario, which makes the vans ideal for transporting loads with temperature sensitive requirements.

These latest vans have proved to be equally ideal for the transportation of fresh and frozen produce, as the ability to carry loads with distinct refrigeration requirements in a single van allows operators to minimise delivery mileage, with no need for separate vehicles to transport chilled and frozen produce.

Available for immediate hire on either short or long-term rental agreements, FridgeXpress’s fresh produce specification Mercedes Sprinters provide an immediate mobility solution without the traditional burdens of vehicle ownership. FridgeXpress’s flexible hire solutions packages include comprehensive servicing, maintenance, and repair as part of a single monthly rental.

Adam Naylor, Managing Director of FridgeXpress commented “As increasing numbers of FMCG logistics operators are looking to minimise emissions increase operational efficiencies, our latest standard specification of dual-evaporated rental vans has proved to be of huge interest to a diverse selection of fleets.

“Our mission at FridgeXpress is to keep our customers moving smarter, and this latest investment in our fleet will benefit fresh produce companies seeking to maximize efficiency and minimize delivery miles by enabling the transport of multiple types of produce in one vehicle. Fresh and frozen goods no longer need separate transportation, which allows for quicker deliveries and a reduction in delivery miles, it’s a smart solution for the industry,” added Naylor.
