Food wholesalers and distributors are some of our longest-standing customers, from specialist importers and cash-and-carry businesses to companies running daily rounds to shops, restaurants and takeaways. When a van is out all day on a multi-drop route, it has to hold its temperature from the first drop to the last, and carry a full load legally.
Chiller, freezer or both
Most wholesalers run chiller vans, with freezer vans for frozen lines. Our refrigerated vans can work anywhere from +21°C down to -25°C, depending on the fridge unit specified. If you carry chilled and frozen goods on the same round, a dual-temperature van with a bulkhead between the two compartments lets one van do both.
Built for multi-drop rounds
- Curtains across the doorway, to keep the cold in on every drop.
- Moveable bulkhead (with or without a fan), so you can change the size of each compartment to suit the day’s orders.
- Pallet runners, to protect the floor and walls when pallets go in and out.
- Load lock rails along both side walls, to stop the load moving.
- Side loading door, to reach the front of the load without unloading the back.
- Electric standby, so the fridge can run with the engine off while the van is parked up and loaded.
- T-bar protection bumper, for loading by forklift.
- A calibration certificate for the temperature display, for your food safety paperwork.
Payload matters
Wholesale loads are heavy, so payload is often what decides the van. Large vans suit full loads; medium vans suit lighter rounds and city deliveries. 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.
