It's no surprise that a Dutch based transport company specialises in temperature controlled trucking. What may surprise you is how efficiently we feed air-cargo gateways directly from and to producers and traders. This minimises the time when cargo is exposed to external temperatures and also reduces the risk of degradation.

One reason why we react quicker than most is that 95% of the Rutges fleet is temperature controlled. We can have a truck standing by when a flight touches down, ready to drive directly to the trader, distributor or end user. Refrigeration units and vehicle insulation combine to control temperature within a range of minus 20 to plus 30 degrees Celsius. The most commonly carried products are fruit and vegetables, normally at a few degrees above zero Celsius. Typically, we pick-up from the producer and deliver to an export air-cargo gateway; or we collect from an import air-cargo gateway and deliver to a perishable centre, trader or distributor. Our trucks are also licensed to carry fresh and frozen meat and fish.

Our temperature controlled fleet is not just used for carrying perishable foodstuffs. We carry medicines and vaccines, temperature sensitive hi-tech products plus machinery that must be protected from climate extremes.

Naturally, our drivers receive special training and this helps us ensure that your valuable and delicate products are delivered in tip-top condition.
