As the temperatures increase throughout the country, various kinds of produce finally come into season. Being able to get fresher fruit from nearby locations is very important, and can help a company offer the best produce to their customers. But there’s one challenge that has to be overcome as well – the heat.
Shipping anything means that it has to be placed into a container and moved across the country, and that usually means that the shipment will be exposed to high temperatures. Tractor trailers act like a kind of oven, and the temps inside can reach very high levels due to the sun that hits the exterior on a regular basis.
While you can certainly invest in a climate controlled truck that will allow you to keep your fruits and vegetables cool during shipping, that’s an expensive option that comes with maintenance costs, the risk of breaking down, and more. Passive control measures like our cargo blankets are a better choice, for several reasons.
- They are much more affordable than other options, and can save you a considerable amount of money while still giving you the same results.
- There are no moving parts, which means that there’s zero chance of them breaking down or failing when you need them the most.
- They can be reused multiple times and will last for years, which makes them a solid investment that will reward you time and time again.
- They’re perfect for less than a load shipments when you don’t need to pay for an entire climate controlled truck. Your shipment can be protected even if other shipments on the LTL trip aren’t.
Passive control measures allow you to enjoy tremendous benefits without having to spend a fortune. They work in a similar manner to the household insulation used in your walls and ceiling, and are designed to block out the heat while keep temperatures underneath the blanket consistent. Additionally, they can help shield against extra moisture and thus keep fruits and vegetables even fresher by eliminating the chance of spoilage during transit.
Your company needs to stand out and be the best it can be, leaving a good impression on all of your customers. To do so, you’ll have to make certain that your shipments arrive on time and in excellent condition, with no need to return spoiled or damaged products. Passive temperature control can help with this immensely and keep your brand identity strong.
