GreenTrans provides refrigerated transport for businesses that need chilled and frozen goods moved at the right temperature. We collect and deliver in refrigerated Mercedes Sprinter vans with roof-mounted fridge units, record the temperature inside the van throughout every journey and give you a temperature report for your load. We are based in Wellingborough and cover Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes, for one-off loads, urgent deliveries and regular runs.

What is refrigerated transport?

Refrigerated transport – also called temperature-controlled or reefer transport – moves goods in an insulated vehicle with its own fridge unit, so products stay chilled or frozen from the moment they are loaded until they are delivered. It is how food producers, wholesalers and distributors keep the cold chain unbroken between their sites and their customers.

Chilled and frozen goods we carry

  • Chilled food – ready meals, meat, poultry, fish and prepared products
  • Fresh produce – fruit, vegetables, salads and herbs
  • Dairy products – milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter and desserts
  • Frozen goods – frozen food and other products that must stay frozen in transit
  • Bakery and catering supplies that need to be kept cool
  • Other perishable items – tell us about your goods and storage requirements and we will confirm suitability

Loads can be palletised or in crates, and are strapped and secured in the van for the journey.

  • Wrapped pallet being loaded into a GreenTrans refrigerated van with a forklift
  • Refrigerated van loaded with stacked food delivery crates
  • Pallet of chilled goods loaded through the side door of a refrigerated van

Temperature monitoring on every load

With chilled and frozen goods, being able to prove the temperature matters as much as the delivery itself. On every refrigerated load we carry:

  1. The temperature is agreed before collection. You tell us the temperature or range your goods need, and we confirm it before the van is booked.
  2. The temperature is recorded all the way. Readings are recorded continuously, from collection right through to delivery.
  3. You receive a temperature report. A printout or report for your load, ready for your customer, auditor or quality team.

Refrigerated transport FAQs

What goods can you carry in your refrigerated vans?

We carry temperature-sensitive goods such as chilled food, meat and fish, fresh produce, dairy products, frozen food and other perishables. Tell us what you are moving and how it must be stored, and we will confirm suitability before booking.

Can you transport both chilled and frozen goods?

We welcome enquiries for both chilled and frozen loads. Tell us the temperature your goods must be kept at and we will confirm, before the van is booked, that it can hold that temperature for your journey.

Do I get a temperature record for my load?

Yes. The temperature inside the van is recorded throughout the journey, from collection to delivery, and you receive a temperature printout or report for your load.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Wellingborough and cover the whole of Northamptonshire – including Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Rushden and Daventry – as well as Milton Keynes. For other routes, send us the collection and delivery postcodes and we will confirm whether we can help.

Yes. We welcome urgent and one-off enquiries as well as regular scheduled runs and contract work. Availability depends on the route, the load and the collection time, so get in touch as early as you can.
