Do You Have Trouble Shipping Temperature-Sensitive Products?

By September 8, 2020 No Comments

Owner-operators transport various goods from destination to destination across the country. Sometimes, the products do not need to be protected from the heat as they are not temperature-sensitive. However, on other occasions, high temps can wreak havoc on items. For example, if a driver has a load of chocolate-covered peanuts in their trailer with no protection from heat, clients will receive melted and gooey products. This is why thermal quilt insulation is needed.

Now, let’s say that transporters are shipping temperature-sensitive products such as medications. When pills, syrups, tablets, and other meds are subjected to extreme heat, they can become less potent. In other words, the prescriptions will not do very much for patients, and the drugs may not even manage or alleviate their symptoms. Any list of things that could go wrong when shipping temperature-sensitive products can go on and on, but owner-operators should get the gist with those few examples.

Truck drivers who have had ruined shipments in the past because of unbearable temperatures should not fret. Our company has what they need to ensure their deliveries remain safe and sound while in transport. There is no need to run right out and buy an expensive reefer unit that can break the bank. We have affordable solutions such as insulated freezer blankets and thermal quilt insulation that make shipping temperature-sensitive products a breeze.

The SureTemp Elite Container Blanket Or Thermal Quilt Insulation

This cover will fit intermodal containers or over-the-road (OTR) shipments up to 53 feet. It is designed to provide radiant, convection, and conduction heat transfer against hot and cold temperatures. In other words, this form of thermal quilt insulation can prove to be useful in the summer and winter. They are heavy-duty and manufactured to withstand harsh conditions and extended use.

SureTemp Elite Container Blankets are available in custom sizes to accommodate those with trailers longer than 53 feet. Consumers can also purchase installation kits for the coverings. The D-ring rope and pull system makes installing them a cinch. Owner-operators can use the blankets alone or pair them with other products from the SureTemp Line for even more protection.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t leave things to chance when shipping items that are temperature-sensitive. Instead, contact our office today to discuss your options. We have something for everyone, and yes, that includes you. If you are not in the market for thermal quilt insulation, be sure to check out our pallet covers, box liners, and container liners.
