Pre-cooled refrigerated vans for fresh food, flowers and pharma — from 1-ton city runners to 5-ton distribution vans, hired by the day, month or on long-term contract.
We’re a UAE cold-chain company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, renting temperature-controlled vans and trucks to businesses that can’t afford for the cold to slip. Refrigerated transport isn’t a side line for us — it’s the whole business, which is why every van is pre-cooled, serviced on schedule, and ready for a 45 °C afternoon rather than a mild one.
From our Abu Dhabi base we reach the entire country — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates — with inter-emirate runs on request. Whether you need one van for a weekend or a dedicated fleet on contract, you deal with a team that knows the routes and exactly how a fresh load behaves when the doors open in the sun.
A chiller van keeps your load at a steady 0–8 °C — cold enough to protect fresh goods without freezing them. It’s the workhorse of the cold chain and, for most businesses moving perishables in the UAE, the van you actually need.
The 0–8 °C band is the sweet spot for “fresh but not frozen.” Hold it steadily and your stock arrives in the same condition it left in. Let it drift up in the heat and shelf life, food safety and quality all begin to slide — often before the load even reaches the customer. A chiller van’s single job is to keep that band rock-steady from your door to the delivery point, no matter what the thermometer outside is doing.
That’s the difference between a chiller van and a freezer van: a chiller is tuned for 0–8 °C fresh goods, while a freezer van goes down to −18 °C for anything that must stay frozen solid. Chilling frozen stock lets it thaw; freezing fresh produce ruins it — so the first decision is always which band your goods belong in. If you carry both on one route, a multi-temperature van runs each in its own zone.
We rent chiller vans (you may know them as fridge vans, cool vans or refrigerated vans) right across the UAE, pre-cooled before every load, with or without a driver, from a single day to a long-term contract. Tell us what you’re moving and how far, and we’ll match the vehicle — you shouldn’t have to become a refrigeration expert to hire one.
A chiller van from us is more than a cold box on wheels. Each hire is set up so your deliveries run cold and on time, with the operational headaches handled.
Every van is pulled down to 0–8 °C before it reaches you, so you load straight into a cold hold — never a warm one that's still catching up.
Rent for a single day, take a discounted monthly rate, or set up a dedicated fleet on a fixed-price contract. Scale up or down as demand moves.
Self-drive, or add one of our drivers who know cold-chain handling — loading order, door discipline and holding temperature across a multi-drop route.
Add live temperature monitoring where a client, auditor or pharma protocol needs proof the cold held for the whole journey.
The fridge unit is serviced on schedule, and if one ever needs work we send a replacement van — your deliveries don't stop because ours does.
We deliver the pre-cooled van anywhere in the UAE, or you collect from us — whichever fits your operation and your timings.
We size the van to the goods, not the other way round. From a nimble 1-ton chiller van for last-mile drops to a 5-ton refrigerated van for bulk distribution — all holding a steady 0–8 °C.
Payloads are indicative — tell us your volume, route and number of drops and we’ll confirm the exact chiller van size. Need a dual-zone multi-temp van for mixed chilled and frozen loads, or a pallet-capacity refrigerated truck? We have those too.
A rough starting point for matching a refrigerated van size to your sector and typical load. We’ll fine-tune it to your exact route.
| Van size | Approx payload | Best load type | Industries it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Ton | ~1,000 kg | Small last-mile drops | Florists, pharmacies, cafés, small caterers |
| 2 Ton | ~2,000 kg | Daily multi-drop restocking | Restaurants, cloud kitchens, mini-marts |
| 3 Ton | ~3,000 kg | Route distribution | Supermarkets, FMCG, dairy & produce |
| 5 Ton | ~5,000 kg | Bulk fresh loads | Distributors, wholesalers, retail chains |
| Multi-temp | Varies | Chilled + frozen together | Mixed-load operators, hotels, catering groups |
Plenty of places will rent you a cold van. The difference shows in the details that decide whether your load actually arrives at temperature.
01
A van handed over warm never catches up in a 45 °C summer. Ours are cold before you load — the cheapest insurance a fresh load can have.
02
From Abu Dhabi we cover all seven emirates and know the routes, receiving bays and timings that keep deliveries moving.
03
Scheduled servicing and a replacement van if a unit needs work mean a maintenance issue never becomes your problem.
04
Early-market produce runs and overnight restocking are normal here — so booking and dispatch run 24/7, holidays included.
05
Daily, monthly or contract — and we'll tell you when a smaller van or a shorter term saves you money, not just when it doesn't.
06
Temperature monitoring and reporting for clients, auditors and pharma protocols that require evidence the cold chain held.
People load a chiller van straight from an air-conditioned store, then leave the doors open through a long stop in the sun. The unit cools air, not a warm cargo hold — so pre-cool the van, load fast, and keep door-open time short on every drop. It costs nothing but discipline, and it saves loads.
If your product loses value the moment it warms up, a chiller van is part of your supply chain. These are the sectors we move for most.
Ingredients from supplier to kitchen
Chilled restocking runs
2–8 °C medicines & samples
Fresh blooms, event-ready
Multi-drop cold delivery
Growers, packers, wholesalers
Real feedback from operations that run on the cold chain every day. (Replace with your own verified reviews before launch.)
The van turned up pre-cooled and on time every single morning through Ramadan. Our produce arrived at the restaurants exactly as it left the store.

We switched to a 3-ton chiller van on monthly hire and the servicing is handled for us. When a unit needed work they sent a replacement the same day.

Temperature monitoring gave us the audit proof our pharma clients demand. Reliable, professional and genuinely helpful on routing.

Tell us your load, route and dates. We’ll confirm the right pre-cooled 0–8 °C van — from 1 ton to 5 ton, daily to long-term, with or without a driver.
A chiller van holds a steady 0–8 °C — cold enough for fresh food, flowers and most pharmaceuticals, without freezing them. If your goods must stay frozen, you need a freezer van at around −18 °C instead.
We rent 1-ton, 2-ton, 3-ton and 5-ton chiller vans, plus dual-zone multi-temp vans and larger refrigerated trucks. Payloads run from around 1,000 kg up to 5,000 kg — we’ll match the size to your load and route.
In everyday use, yes — “fridge van,” “cool van” and “refrigerated van” usually all mean a chiller van. The distinction that matters is chiller (fresh, 0–8 °C) versus freezer (frozen, −18 °C).
Yes. One day is the minimum, and you can extend day by day if a job runs long. For ongoing routes, monthly and long-term rates work out considerably cheaper per day.
Always. We pull every van down to temperature before handover, so you can load straight away rather than waiting for a warm van to cool down — which, in UAE heat, it may never fully do once it’s loaded.
The whole UAE from our Abu Dhabi base — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates — with inter-emirate runs available on request.
