Bread and most bakes travel fine at room temperature, but cream cakes, cheesecakes, fresh-cream desserts and chilled sandwiches don’t. We sell chiller vans to bakeries and cake makers delivering to cafés, shops, events and customers’ doors, so everything arrives looking as good as when it left the kitchen.
Chilled, frozen or both
A chiller van keeps cream and chilled lines at a safe temperature all round. If you deliver frozen dough or frozen desserts, a freezer van may suit you better. If you carry ambient bread and chilled cakes together, a bulkhead can split the load space into an ambient and a chilled section.
Options that suit a bakery
- Load lock rails along both side walls, to hold trays and boxes steady.
- Curtains across the doorway, to keep the cold in on every drop.
- Fixed partition or moveable bulkhead, to keep chilled and ambient lines apart.
- Side loading door, to reach orders at the front without disturbing the rest.
- Electric standby, so the fridge can run with the engine off while the van is parked up and loaded the night before.
- LED lights in the load space, for early-morning loading.
Small or medium
A small van is ideal for local cake deliveries; bakeries supplying several shops or cafés usually go for a medium van. Small vans include the Citan, Kangoo and Transit Connect; medium vans the Transit Custom, Trafic and Vito; and large vans the Sprinter, Crafter, Master and Transit 350. We help you choose by looking at the inside size after conversion and the payload, not just the size of the van.
New and used, with finance
We keep new and used fridge and freezer vans in stock and ready to go, and we can build one to order. We offer competitive finance for business and personal customers, take part exchanges, and can arrange delivery anywhere in the UK.
