Temperature-controlled vans for fresh and frozen goods. Pick a chiller (0–8 °C) or a freezer (−18 °C), from 1-ton to 5-ton — hired by the day, month or on long-term contract.
We’re a UAE cold-chain company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, offering refrigerated van hire — both chiller and freezer — to businesses that can’t afford for the cold to slip. Temperature-controlled 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 refrigerated van for a weekend or a dedicated fleet on contract, you deal with a team that knows the routes and exactly how a fresh or frozen load behaves when the doors open in the sun.
“Refrigerated van” is the umbrella term for any van that keeps its load at a controlled temperature. Underneath it sit two vehicles — a chiller van and a freezer van — and choosing the right one is the whole game.
A chiller van holds a steady 0–8 °C for goods that must stay cold but not frozen: fresh produce, dairy, flowers and most pharmaceuticals. A freezer van goes down to −18 °C for anything that must stay frozen solid — ice cream, frozen meat and seafood. Pick the wrong one and you either spoil fresh stock or let frozen product thaw, so the first decision is always which band your goods belong in. See chiller vans → See freezer vans →
We handle all of it — refrigerated van rental across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, in 1-ton to 5-ton sizes, 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 exact vehicle and temperature to your load.
A refrigerated van from us is more than a cold box on wheels. Each hire is set up so your deliveries run at temperature and on time, with the operational headaches handled.
Every van is pulled down to its target temperature — 0–8 °C or −18 °C — before it reaches you, so you load straight into a cold hold, never a warm one.
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.
Every size is available as a chiller (0–8 °C) or freezer (−18 °C) build. From a nimble 1-ton refrigerated van for last-mile drops to a 5-ton van for bulk distribution.
Payloads are indicative — tell us your volume, temperature and route and we’ll confirm the exact refrigerated van. 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 the size and temperature 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
Whether you need 0–8 °C or −18 °C, one supplier covers both bands — and multi-temp when a route needs both at once.
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
From Abu Dhabi we cover all seven emirates and know the routes, receiving bays and timings that keep deliveries moving.
06
Temperature monitoring and reporting for clients, auditors and pharma protocols that require evidence the cold chain held.
Before anything else, settle whether your goods are fresh (chiller, 0–8 °C) or frozen (freezer, −18 °C). Get that right and everything downstream — van size, route, timing — falls into place. Not sure? Tell us the product and we'll point you to the correct van.
If your product loses value the moment it warms up, a refrigerated 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
−18 °C frozen delivery
Multi-drop cold delivery
Growers, packers, wholesalers

Tell us your load, route and dates. We’ll confirm the right van — chiller or freezer, 1 ton to 5 ton, daily to long-term, with or without a driver.
A refrigerated van is any temperature-controlled van. It comes in two main types: a chiller van for fresh goods at 0–8 °C, and a freezer van for frozen goods at −18 °C. “Fridge van,” “cool van” and “reefer van” all mean the same thing
Temperature. A chiller van holds 0–8 °C for fresh, not-frozen goods; a freezer van holds around −18 °C for frozen goods. If anything must stay frozen, you need a freezer van — a chiller can’t hold −18 °C.
We rent 1-ton, 2-ton, 3-ton and 5-ton refrigerated vans, each available as a chiller or freezer build, plus multi-temp vans and refrigerated trucks. Payloads run from about 1,000 kg to 5,000 kg.
Yes — a multi-temperature van has separate partitioned zones, so you can run chilled and frozen on one route instead of sending two vehicles.
Yes. We’re based in Abu Dhabi and cover Dubai and the whole UAE — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates — with inter-emirate runs on request.
Yes. One day is the minimum, and you can extend day by day. For ongoing routes, monthly and long-term rates work out considerably cheaper per day.
