Reefer: The Foundation of Cold Chain Arrangements
When discussing trucks, containers, or railcars that are used to transport items that are sensitive to temperature, the word "reefer" is used in the logistics industry. In order to keep perishable goods like food, medications, and chemicals at the proper temperature along the supply chain, reefers are essential to the cold chain's upkeep. Reefers are essential to international trade because they reduce temperature swings, preserving product quality and safety.
