Refrigerated trailers - cool on tour

They are bringing food and fun – fresh groceries and flowers – and for this purpose are refrigerated trailers on tour. These trailers have closed bodies out of plastic or sheet steel. Depending on the purpose the trailers have to comply with special obligations for example in the transport of frozen food.

Some refrigerated trailers are fitted with a homogeneous temperature zone but there also some which are able to cool down on several temperature zones for serving different requirements.
Trailers are distinguished by their kind of body and its future purpose.

Secondhand trucks could be the first choice. If one is interested in a vehicle from the secondhand market should not confine the search only on German soil. All trucks underlie the same European standards (Euro Norms 1-5). Most trucks are fitted with a diesel engine. Trucks which are driven by Liquefied Petroleum Gas can be rarely found on the secondhand market. Further there are different wheel formulas like 4×2, 4×4 and so on.
The company Easy Rent truck & trailer offers the possibility to rent instead of buy a truck or a trailer. Often are these vehicles not older than 2 years.
