Do You Need to Keep Food Cold or Frozen?
Imagine you have fresh milk. You do not want it to get warm. Now, think about ice cream. It must stay frozen solid, or it becomes soup! Do you see the problem? Some things need to be kept cool, while some things need to be kept very, very cold. This is why 7. caminhões refrigerados e freezer trucks are different.
At CLW GROUP, we help you find the right truck for what you want to move. We build 11. caminhões especiais for every need. We deliver them fast. We answer your questions. We help you stay safe. This is what we do best.
What Is a Refrigerated Truck?
A refrigerated truck, also called a reefer, is a truck. It uses a 17. unidade de refrigeração. It keeps the inside cold, like a big fridge on wheels.
- Temperature range: 0°C to +7°C (32°F to 45°F).
- What it does: It keeps things cool but not frozen.
- Refrigeration unit: Uses less power. Needs standard insulation.
- Cargo it moves: Fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat (not frozen), flowers, some medicines, and drinks.
If you need chilled transport for things that must not freeze, this is your truck.
What Is a Freezer Truck?
A freezer truck is different. This truck keeps things frozen hard all the way to where they need to go.
- Temperature range: -18°C to -25°C (0°F to -13°F), or even colder!
- What it does: It keeps everything frozen.
- Refrigeration unit: Much stronger. Needs more power and thicker walls.
- Cargo it moves: Ice cream, frozen meat, frozen vegetables, frozen pizza, or special medicines.
If you need your goods to stay like ice, you need a freezer truck.

Why Pick One Over the Other?
Picture two friends. Anna sells berries. She needs to keep them cool, not hard as rocks. Sam sells ice cream. He needs it frozen, not melted.
- Anna needs a refrigerated truck.
- Sam needs a freezer truck.
If you pick the wrong one, Anna’s berries might freeze, and Sam’s ice cream might melt. That means lost money!
Key Needs for Your Business
1. Temperature Control Is a Must
You need your products safe and fresh. Temperature control is not just a wish. It is a rule. Food safety rules from the FDA, FSMA, e HACCP mean you must pick the right truck.
2. Keep Watch on the Temperature
Both types of trucks use data loggers e remote temperature monitoring. This makes sure your goods stay safe.
3. Strong Insulation Counts
A freezer truck has thicker insulation and tighter door seals. This keeps out the heat. It costs more at first, but it saves you from melting your load.
