Refrigerated Transport Across UK & Europe

Broughton Transport provides specialist refrigerated transport and temperature controlled haulage throughout the UK and Europe.

With more than 40 years' experience, we transport chilled food, fresh produce, meat, dairy products, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive goods using a modern refrigerated fleet with vehicle tracking and temperature monitoring.

From regular UK distribution to specialist refrigerated meat transport, hanging meat transport and European transport, we provide reliable solutions for businesses that need their goods moved at the right temperature.

Refrigerated Transport at a Glance:

What Is Refrigerated Transport?

Refrigerated transport is used to move goods that need to remain within a specified temperature range during their journey.

Our temperature-controlled equipment can accommodate a broad range of requirements, from approximately -25°C to +25°C, allowing us to transport chilled, frozen and other temperature-sensitive products.

The correct transport temperature depends on the individual product and customer requirements, so we establish what's needed before the journey begins.

What Products Can We Transport?

Our refrigerated and temperature controlled transport services are suitable for a wide variety of products, including:

• Fresh fruit and vegetables
• Meat and poultry
• Fish and seafood
• Dairy products
• Chilled and frozen foods
• Food ingredients
• Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
• Other temperature-sensitive products

Different products require different conditions. Fresh produce may need a controlled chilled environment, while frozen foods may require temperatures of -18°C or below.

If you're unsure about the right transport solution, talk to our team about what you're moving and at what temperature it needs to be kept.

Refrigerated Meat & Hanging Meat Transport

We provide specialist refrigerated meat transport throughout the UK and Europe.

Maintaining the correct temperature is particularly important when transporting fresh meat, helping to protect product quality and maintain the cold chain between producers, processors, wholesalers and distribution centres.

Our specialist capabilities also include hanging meat transport, where carcasses and large cuts can be carried using the appropriate refrigerated transport equipment.

For meat that needs to remain frozen rather than chilled, we also provide frozen meat transport using our temperature-controlled fleet.

Refrigerated Transport Throughout the UK

From our base in Wiltshire, we provide refrigerated UK transport throughout England, Wales and Scotland.

We support businesses requiring both individual deliveries and regular temperature-controlled distribution, collecting and delivering between farms, manufacturers, food producers, suppliers, distribution centres, wholesalers, retailers and other commercial destinations.

European Refrigerated Transport

We also specialise in European transport, moving refrigerated and temperature-sensitive goods between the UK and destinations throughout Europe.

We offer:

• UK to Europe refrigerated transport
• Europe to UK refrigerated transport
• Transport between European destinations

Regular destinations include France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Italy, alongside many other European locations.

Our experience of international transport is particularly valuable for fresh, chilled and time-sensitive products, where careful planning and reliable temperature control are essential throughout longer journeys.

Temperature Monitoring & Vehicle Tracking

Maintaining the cold chain is essential when transporting temperature-sensitive goods.

Our refrigerated haulage lorries use modern temperature-control and monitoring systems to help maintain the required environment throughout the journey.

Vehicle tracking allows our transport team to monitor progress, while temperature statistics can provide traceability of the conditions in which products have travelled.

Our trailers also have external electrical hook-ups, allowing refrigeration systems to continue operating while stationary at our depot without relying on auxiliary diesel engines.

Multi-Temperature Transport

Some loads contain products that need to travel at different temperatures. Our specialist trailers use twin evaporation systems and divided compartments to create separate temperature zones within the same vehicle.

Where appropriate, this allows chilled and frozen products to travel on the same journey while remaining within their respective required temperature ranges.
