Shipping beverages at this time of year can be a bit challenging. Temperatures across the United States are still pretty cold. Heck, they are even below freezing in some places. If bottled or canned beverages are subjected to such temps for long periods, they can freeze and burst. That will obviously cause quite a mess and leave trailers sticky. Drivers won’t be too happy when they have to clean the spills, so pallet covers are important.
However, clients probably won’t be too thrilled about their shipments not reaching their destinations unscathed either. If they have to refill orders out of pocket, who do you think they will hold responsible? The companies that were in charge of getting products from here to there unharmed, that’s who. Organizational leaders might try to get compensation from them, and nobody wants that. Things are tight these days, and not every firm can afford such issues.
Some sellers may not go this route. Instead, they could choose to take their business elsewhere. So, do yourself a favor and protect your beverage shipments. Don’t run clients right into the arms of your competitors. We have two solutions to help you accomplish the endeavor and are going to discuss them right now.
1. Insulated Freezer Blankets
SureTemp Elite Container Blankets keep shipment temperatures in cold containers and trailers above freezing for extended periods. They are easy to install and can be used to create temperature zones for mixed shipments. These insulated freezer blankets also protect against heat. That means shippers get their money’s worth because they can utilize them at different times of the year.
The covers are heavy-duty to handle the rigors of shipping and then some. They are designed to fit standard 53-foot intermodal containers and OTR shipments. However, custom sizes are available too. Companies wishing to protect beverages from freezing temperatures on runs can’t go wrong in outfitting their fleets with these insulated freezer blankets.
2. SureTemp Pallet Covers
Most drivers don’t want to pull out blankets when only one or two pallets need to be protected from extreme temperatures, and who can blame them? The process can slow them down when all they want to do is hit the open road. Our pallet covers are the ideal solution. They are secondary forms of protection for heat and cold. The coverings are basically smaller versions of container blankets. They are easy to install and only require drivers to take a few minutes out of their time.
