Temperature-Controlled Trucks
Some waste products, like pharmaceutical byproducts, need to be refrigerated when they’re transported away from facilities. Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc offers a variety of transportation services for your hazardous and nonhazardous waste, including temperature-controlled trucks. Our fleets of climate-controlled trucks come in many different sizes and can provide temperature controlled environments or non-temperature controlled. Learn more about the ins and outs of our temperature-controlled environments.
What Are Temperature-Controlled Environments?
Temperature-controlled environments are exactly as they sound; these sorts of trucks can transport materials that need to be maintained at a certain temperature throughout the shipping process. This is a common need for pharmaceutical waste and other hazardous wastes.
How Do They Work?
Are cargo holds temperature controlled? Temperature controlled environments use a temperature monitoring system to track the ambient conditions in the cargo hold. Generator sets, or gensets, attach to the reefer trucks and run on diesel while in transport and short-power when stationary.
Even though temperature controlled environments have the capability to adjust the ambient conditions, usually the hazardous and nonhazardous waste will be packaged with insulated materials as well. Plus, to minimize differences in temperature, carriers try to wait until the last possible moment to remove the cargo. These waste management professionals will be well-aware of your temperature requirements and will handle your materials safely when you choose our temperature-controlled trucks to transport waste from your facility.
If your cargo is highly sensitive to changes in temperature, the temperature control process moves beyond the cargo hold. These environments can be attached to temperature controlled docks to ensure that your hazardous and nonhazardous waste is handled appropriately until its final destination.
Climate-Controlled Truck Limitations
Temperature-controlled environments for perishable products do have some limitations. Due to their insulation, they have less capacity than other transportation options both in terms of space and weight. Using them also requires more planning than using something like a box truck, but an experienced waste management company should have no trouble in managing all of the details.
