So you just got an order to transport drinking water in the US, and there is a cold front moving into the area—now what? Temperatures in northern states can dip well below freezing in the wintertime. They can even do the same in the country’s central and southern parts from time to time. Doing nothing and treating the water like any other shipment can be a mistake. Should the H2O in the bottles or cans happen to freeze, they might burst. That may not sound like too big of a problem. However, when you arrive with a damaged shipment, the recipient will not be very happy. Nor will the seller once they find out about the situation. Sure, shippers have insurance to cover catastrophes, but who wants to file a claim? That could make your premiums skyrocket. Thus, you might have to pay for the losses out of pocket. Then again, at the very least, the merchant may not ever do business with you.
Regardless of which consequence arises, your budget could take a hit. The best way to ensure such issues do not pop up is by preventing them in the first place. We have the solutions you need for beverage shipping during the winter. So please stick around and read on to learn more.
The SureTemp Elite Container Blanket
Beverage shipping during winter has never been easier thanks to the SureTemp Elite Container Blanket. It has an outer shell featuring heavy-gauge woven polyethylene, which is heat-sealed to poly-coated aluminum foil. Meanwhile, the core of the blanket consists of synthetic hollow fibers. Together, the materials create a tough thermal barrier that protects against heat and cold.
The covering is heavy-duty and reusable. It is designed to fit 53′ intermodal containers and over-the-road (OTR) shipments, but custom sizes are available too.
SureTemp Elite Pallet Covers
SureTemp Elite Pallet Covers protect against heat and cold as well. Three variants—the 150 GSM, 300 GSM, and 400 GSM—are available. They are lightweight, easy to install, and can be used again and again.
These coverings are basically mini versions of the previous product. They fit standard pallet sizes but have wide Velcro on each corner that allows for adjustments. Consumers can also have custom sizes created to accommodate their specific needs. These covers are perfect for beverage shipping during winter, particularly if you only have one or two pallets of drinks that need to be protected.
