How To Provide Thermal Protection To Beverage Shipments

By March 22, 2022 No Comments

Are you an owner-operator that just landed a big gig? For instance, will you now be transporting beverages cross-country? If that’s the case, that’s great, but whether these shipments happen every once in a while or regularly, you should make it a point to provide them with thermal protection. That will prevent liquids from getting too hot. But, of course, it will stop the substances from freezing as well.

In either situation, bottles, cans, or other containers could burst. Then, you’ll have a giant mess inside your trailer, which won’t be fun to clean. It is also possible for the taste, color, and flavor of beverages to change when they aren’t stored in particular temperatures. For example, it is not uncommon for extreme heat to have such effects on wine. 

Of course, you could run out and buy a refrigerated trailer. However, you just landed this gig. Hence, that means you might not have the capital for a significant investment like that at this moment. Don’t worry, though, because all isn’t lost. We have some thermal protection solutions that are effective and don’t break the bank.

Insulated Freezer Blankets

Our 150 GSM Elite Insulated Freezer Blankets are heavy-duty and reusable. Not only that, but they protect from the heat and cold. That means you’ll be able to use your covering to stop extreme temperatures from harming beverage shipments. The insulated freezer blankets are designed to fit standard shipping containers or OTR shipments of up to 53-feet. But it’s okay if the trailer or container you use doesn’t measure that. We also manufacture custom sizes for customers. Plus, you can pick up an installation kit if you wish. The integrated D-ring rope and pull system makes each install a breeze.

Insulated Pallet Covers

If you are only carrying beverages by the pallet load, our insulated pallet covers may provide all of the needed thermal protection. Basically, they are smaller versions of the blankets. These coverings have velcro corners that quickly adjust to fit pallets of various sizes. Different options, 150 GSM, 300 GSM, and 450 GSM, are available. They each offer diverse benefits, but they also share some things in common, including:


• Protection from heat and cold
• Reusable
• Custom sizes available
