Temperature‑controlled road freight moves chilled, frozen and other sensitive cargo in refrigerated trailers set to a defined temperature range. Before loading, the trailer is brought to the required temperature, and the same team that quotes the load books the equipment and monitors it through to delivery, keeping the cold chain intact from door to door. This continuity reduces the risk of losing temperature records or breaking the chain when a shipment is handed over between operators. Where required, ADR‑compliant reefer equipment allows temperature‑sensitive dangerous goods to move under one booking instead of being split between a hazardous‑goods carrier and a refrigerated one.
Eurogate has experience supporting customers across a wide range of sectors, from food and packaging through to packed chemicals, construction equipment and specialist consignments outside standard pallet formats. The Group also has a strong track record supporting sectors such as oil and gas, engineering, steel fabrication and energy.
Eurogate’s services are delivered through experienced teams who manage lanes across their regions, coordinate between markets where required, and support customers from collection to delivery. That includes customs management, local market guidance, and direct communication throughout the movement.
The trailer is pre-cooled to the range your goods need before loading and held there through transit, so the cargo travels at a steady temperature.
Our specialised team carries certain dangerous goods under temperature control in ADR‑compliant reefers, and knows which ADR classes are safe to load together.
Refrigerated part loads share trailer space on established lanes, booked onto a scheduled run with temperature bands arranged to suit the cargo.
The specialised team verifies the shipment requirements, tailors the solution, oversees the load from loading to unloading and signs off the delivery, so one team stays responsible for the whole journey.
The structure depends on the route, the consignment and the level of support required. Features may include the following.
Chilled and frozen food and drink move in temperature‑controlled reefer trailers, set to the right range for each commodity. We handle both full truckloads (FTL) and shared part loads (LTL), delivering into grocery chains, wholesalers, and end‑customer channels, with collection and delivery coordinated at both ends to keep the cold chain intact from origin to final destination.
Speed matters in logistics. We’ve built our operation around getting your cargo where it needs to go without delay, backed by terminals positioned across eight nations and staffed by people who know the work.
Our specialised team carries selected ADR‑classified dangerous goods under temperature control in ADR‑compliant reefer trailers.
A dedicated pharma team looks after your shipments to keep them GDP‑compliant end‑to‑end.
A specialised team makes sure trailers are pre‑cooled and held at deep‑freeze temperatures before loading, so products requiring frozen transport stay within range.
Eurogate Logistics runs both chilled and frozen refrigerated transport, with the trailer pre-cooled to the consignment's target window before loading and held to it for the whole journey. The required range is set per consignment from the product specification, whether that is ambient-plus for adhesives, a tight chilled band for food and drink, or a validated pharmaceutical window. The cold-chain desk confirms the exact set-point with you at the quoting stage so the equipment is matched to the cargo, not the other way round.
Yes. Eurogate Logistics holds GDP certification for pharmaceutical transport, and pharma and pharma-related cargo make up the larger share of the cold-chain desk's work, including blood, biological substances and other temperature-sensitive medicines. Alongside the transport itself the team can arrange the pharma accessorials a validated shipment needs, such as data loggers, refrigerant and qualified packaging. Compliance records follow the consignment so the temperature history is auditable.
The core of the service is refrigerated road, available as a dedicated refrigerated full load (FTL) or as scheduled refrigerated part-load (LTL) space across the European network, with reefer ocean containers available for the long-haul leg where the routing suits. The Hungarian team also holds refrigerated ADR, meaning refrigerated trailers approved to carry dangerous goods, a combination most operators do not keep in-house. That lets temperature-sensitive hazardous cargo travel cold and compliant in a single trailer rather than being split across two specialists.
Temperature is recorded for the journey using data loggers placed with the cargo, which produce a temperature trace that can be issued at delivery for your compliance records. For pharmaceutical and other validated shipments the team can supply the loggers, refrigerant and qualified boxes as accessorials rather than leaving you to source them. Because one operator owns the consignment end to end, the record stays continuous rather than restarting at each handover.
The cold-chain desk works mainly with pharma, FMCG, and chemical and adhesive manufacturers, plus chilled and frozen food and drink. Pharma and pharma-related cargo are run as a specialism, which is where the GDP certification and the validated-packaging accessorials matter most. Adhesives and other temperature-sensitive chemical formulations are a long-standing part of the book, several of those relationships running well beyond a decade.
One team holds the temperature trace across every leg, so when refrigerated road connects to an onward sea leg the cargo does not pass between separate operators who each own only their own segment. The trailer or container is pre-cooled to the target window before loading and monitored through to delivery, with a continuous temperature record rather than one that breaks at each transfer. If a problem arises in transit, such as a delay at a border, the same desk arranges interim cold storage and moves the load forward once it clears.
