Transporting temperature-sensitive cargo—such as pharmaceuticals, fresh produce, and chemicals—requires precision, vigilance, and robust systems. Even minor deviations in temperature can lead to spoilage, contamination, or regulatory non-compliance.
TT Club highlights the critical importance of correct equipment selection, pre-trip inspections, and real-time monitoring to ensure integrity throughout the journey. This page explores common risks, including equipment failure and human error, and outlines best practices for maintaining cold chain reliability. With proactive planning and adherence to standards, operators can protect high-value cargo and minimise exposure to claims and reputational damage.
