Ute refrigeration systems are built to maintain steady temperatures, typically between +4 and -25°C. These transport a wide variety of goods, including florals, produce, medication, and more.

But these standard systems can sometimes leave a bit to be desired. They aren’t tailored to your business’s needs, and they don’t take into account the environments they are travelling through.

This is why Tranzfreeze’s custom ute refrigeration systems are so useful. We customise refrigeration utes not only to suit your needs, but to withstand Australian conditions.

With years of experience and advanced engineering, you can get more value with us. This article details everything you need to know about our service.

Are you searching for a refrigeration ute that meets all your needs? Reach out to our team at Tranzfreeze today. We’ll work closely with you to deliver a refrigeration vehicle you can rely on.

The impact of Australian conditions

Australia’s climate has always been intense. From fast-changing weather to deteriorating roads, vehicles must withstand everything thrown their way.

In fact, Australian roads are currently ranked at 4.77 out of 7 for the quality of road infrastructure. With this, it’s clear that our vehicles are expected to travel over the occasional, poorer-quality, bumpy road.

Without protection, these conditions can seriously affect your goods, despite your refrigeration. Flowers might wilt more quickly, stock could decline, and food could spoil, all of which could negatively impact your bottom line.

Why Tranzfreeze is the right choice

Tranzfreeze has worked in the refrigerated vehicle industry for over three decades. With years of hard-earned experience, we’re a leader in the transport refrigeration sector.
Understanding refrigeration and environmental impacts helps us build customised refrigerated vehicles that last. Durability, quality, and reliability are our top priorities.

To build your refrigerated vehicle, we assess:

  • The items you transport
  • The required temperature at which they must rest
  • The environment the vehicle is exposed to
  • How often the vehicle will be used
  • The length of trips

With each of these answered, we can tailor our vehicles to suit your business needs and goals.

Tranzfreeze engineering advantages

At Tranzfreeze, refrigerated vehicles aren’t limited by standard layouts. With the latest engineering techniques, quality materials, and tailored designs, you can expect the very best.

Here, we’ll detail each of the different engineering advantages available.

1. Hot gas defrost

Hot gas defrost systems work by collecting the hot gas created by the compressor system. The gas is then used to defrost the evaporator unit, keeping it ice and frost-free.

This is an incredibly energy-efficient method for maintaining your refrigerant system in optimal condition. It is also often faster than other defrosting systems.

2. Electric standby

An electric standby system can continue to run your refrigeration even when the vehicle is turned off. This is also called an ESB or plug-in power system. Simply connect your vehicle to a power source, and your refrigeration will kick in, maintaining your temperatures.

This is ideal for when you need to keep your stock fresh but can’t keep the vehicle running. It saves on fuel, protects the vehicle, and improves performance.

3. Durability

Every element of our vehicles is designed for durability. With fibreglass casings and aluminium or fibreglass flooring options, you can trust these materials to last. If you have regular, heavy loads, our trucks will handle the job with ease.

They are corrosion-resistant and able to withstand a wide range of conditions, from intense sun to pouring rain. They also have insulating properties, increasing the efficiency of your refrigeration system.

4. Dual cab systems

We build multipurpose and dual-cab systems. Dual-cab systems maintain different temperatures. The cab interior may be kept warmer than the refrigerated section at the back. This can help ensure driver comfort while protecting your products.

5. Multi-purpose applications

We use the latest in engineering to create multiple compartments in your vehicle. This means you can create different sections and have them all at different, stable temperatures.

This can make your shipments more efficient as you can transport different types of products at once. You can cut fleet operating costs, maintain product integrity, and simplify your deliveries.
