Temperature-controlled Used Freezer Vans for Your Transportation and Logistics Needs

Temperature-controlled vehicles play a vital part in the supply chain system. It is almost impossible to visualise the delivery service industry without highlighting the important role played by freezer vans.

Maintaining the temperature of your goods in logistics is essential to the success of all parties involved in the supply chain process. If your business involves the production, sales, and delivery of fresh and perishable edibles like dairy, fish, and meat, or if you are in the medical supply industry or the floral industry, then you will need one of our used freezer vans that come in different sizes – large, medium, and small.

Moving perishable products at an accurate temperature can be a challenge, especially if the right vehicle is not used during the distribution and storage cycle. Our team at Glacier Vehicles recognises the importance of a reliable temperature-controlled vehicle, and we provide you with a variety of used freezer vans to choose from.

Numerous pharmaceutical companies take advantage of our used freezer vans. Their supply chain process requires the movement of fragile and temperature-sensitive medical supplies, from production, to delivery to the end user. Medical supplies can disintegrate if they are exposed to fluctuating temperatures. This can sometimes lead to death, depending on the product. At Glacier Vehicles, we can give you the means to prevent your products from deteriorating, by helping your company master the process of temperature-controlled transportation.

Our vans are perfect for business owners in the fish industry. If your company deals with the sale and delivery of flowers, you can also use our vans to keep your products from wilting prematurely. The fragrance industry can also profit from our cost-effective and superior used freezer vans. Our refrigerated trucks can keep your merchandise at a cool temperature, and prevent the chemicals in the fragrances and cologne water from heating up and altering their scent.

Galleries, museums, and art firms that deliver priceless pieces, especially older artworks with delicate canvases, paints, or oils that are sensitive to an unstable temperature, can also benefit greatly from our wide range of used freezer vans.

How Used Freezer Van Units Work

Converting a van into a used freezer van should be undertaken as a DIY project. There are many things at stake, especially if you are dealing with items for human consumption. A poorly converted van could end up being harmful to your clients, and the reputation of your organisation can be adversely affected.

At Glacier Vehicles, we convert vans using an insulation lining kit with 75mm thick material. Our used freezer vans have two chief elements: the mechanical cooling part, and the insulation part. The function of the mechanical cooling system is to extract heat that has accumulated inside the chamber of the van, while insulation prevents external heat from coming in. Mechanisms such as the compressor, evaporator, and condenser cannot function without insulation.

Thermal insulation is a key element of a used freezer van because it helps in the reduction of heat transfer. There are so many cheap insulation materials in the market today that aren’t suitable, and can be detrimental to your business if they’re installed in your fridge van.

At Glacier Vehicles we pride ourselves on offering the best-quality freezer vans for sale. The insulation material used in our temperature-controlled vehicles is much denser than that used in household freezers. The entire surface area of our used freezer vans is framed with thick layers of impenetrable polymer foam that prevents external heat from getting into the cooling compartment.

Once the insulation foam has been fitted, the inside is then further padded with a coating that prevents the polymer foam from getting destroyed while storing and unloading your merchandise from the van.

There are two distinct types of protective coating:

  • Wet lay: This coat is like resin flooring – it uses a liquid polymer that solidifies immediately upon contact with air. Once this coat is dry, it turns into a tight and smooth white layer that is 100% hygienic and washable.
  • Dry lay: This coat is somewhat different from the wet lay. It involves installing solid tiles in the insulated compartment. Dry lay is less efficient because it doesn’t fill in gaps in the same way as wet lay does. After installation, there are tiny spaces between the tiles which can easily foster mould and bacteria.

Our vans use a direct drive mechanism to run the refrigeration compartments, using the power generated by the vehicle’s engine. The freezer unit in our used freezer van is simple enough that anyone can understand how to use it. On the interior cover of the freezer van, you will find an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser arranged in a case.

The condenser, which is similar in shape to a radiator, functions as a backward radiator. Instead of emitting heat, it sucks up and traps heat into a thin metal pipe which is filled with a coolant liquid that circulates through it. The liquid is then transformed into a gas as it heats up, and is transferred to the compressor. The compressor compresses the gas until it reaches high pressure, and then passes it to the evaporator.

The evaporator’s job is to maintain a low temperature in the van by forcing external air through the pressured gas, which then chills, turning it back into a liquid, which is cycled back through the system. The accumulated heat in the thin metal pipe of the condenser is then discharged into the environment.

The freezing units in each of our used freezer vans at Glacier Vehicles have high standards of reliability and safety, allowing our chilling compartment to maintain precise conditions of around 30⁰C to -18⁰C. We install temperature data logging units that actively record the temperature level of the van, and they can be found in the loading space of our freezer van.

We use lightweight, durable and hard-wearing GRP sheeting stuffed with a roving coating to cover the surface of the insulation. This allows us to minimise the van’s weight, which is better than using large timber components. During this process, the durability and strength of our vans are not jeopardised. We can also fit extra finishing options of your choice, and a load-bearing floor panel. The inner surface of the insulated panels will be the only visible part, as we install treated wood boarding that prevents rot and keeps your cargo safe.

What are the components used in your used freezer vans/conversions built with?

Over the years, there has been an increase in demand for personalised freezer vans. To help meet this demand, we have employed expert personnel – designers, engineers, and technicians – who are ready to install high-quality components into your van.

At Glacier Vehicles we equip our vans with modernised controllers that aid your delivery process. Our used freezer vans come with temperature regulators that sustain the freezing temperatures of the vans over a long period of time. We have also discovered that businesses dealing with unpacked raw foods often encounter problems with the removal of moisture condensing on the floor of their van. Our vans come installed with a drainage hole and basin for easy sanitation to help with this common issue.

All our vans are built with the most suitable materials, such as high-density polymer foam to minimise heat. Our used freezer vans also come with new controllers to help improve the efficiency of the system and monitoring in the fridge van. Some features of these new installations are:

  • Internal sensors that detect an open circuit and overcurrent.
  • In-cab display that detects, analyses, diagnoses, and sends codes if any fault develops. Each fault is logged, with a start and end time so you can monitor the van closely.
  • Discharge pressure and air temperature logged every 2 to 300 seconds.
  • A door switch that is wired to the condenser, to monitor when the doors are opened or closed.
  • Preventive maintenance that increases the road time of your vehicle.
  • A smart fan kit that analyses faults and prolongs the lifespan of the van.

Additional components like a six-speed gearbox, overnight standby mode (when required), cruise control, remote central locking, side load door for security, and a higher roof to are also included in our used freezer vans.

Insulated cool box/cargo compartment

The insulated cargo compartment of our used freezer vans is customised to suit your needs. It is built with dual compartments to enable multiple uses and a delivery system at the same time.

Each of the compartments comes with different internal temperatures: the refrigeration compartment comes with a 0°C to +5°C temperature and the freezer compartment with 0°C to −25°C. We can also customise different compartment combinations depending on the customer’s specifications.

Refrigerated Vans Cargo Options

At Glaciers Vehicles we have extensive personalised options that can be added to our range of vans to ease your daily use. These options include, but are not limited to:

  • Hanging meat rails.
  • Wet load or slip resistant floors which prevent excess moisture on the floor of the van.
  • A shelving system that allows you to browse through your inventory in the van.
  • An overnight standby system that allows you to plug your van into mains electricity.
  • A bespoke panel van conversion to suit your needs.
