When it comes to transporting temperature sensitive goods there is no room for error. Even the slightest miscalculation may lead to spoilage of goods, so it is important to take the right precautions before and during transit, otherwise products could see a significant drop in value or become complete unusable.
As both food and pharmaceutical industries rely on the proper transportation of temperature sensitive goods, small errors can end up costing thousands, if not millions in lost revenue, so precautions must always be taken to ensure they arrive safe and unspoiled.
Check out the tips below for how to ensure temperature sensitive goods are properly transported:
Find the right company
An experienced company is the best way to guarantee proper transportation of temperature sensitive goods, so be sure to research carrier companies with adequate experience in shipping the goods you have.
Request information about previous shipping to see whether they are experienced shipping your goods before, while asking for information about the type of equipment they use to ensure safe shipping.
If possible, ask to see performance metrics to determine how effective they are at delivering on time. The most experienced companies have dealt with shipping all manner of goods, so should be able to meet your requirements with speed and accuracy.
Know what products are available
There are various products available that can ensure the safe transportation of temperature sensitive goods, any of which could be the solution you require.
For instance, temperature-controlled pallet shippers are available for loose temperature sensitive products, while pallet covers can be used for a range of shipping and transporting applications as they are available in many sizes and materials.
These are just a few examples of the many temperature controlling shipping products available, which are essential for properly transporting temperature sensitive products. Be sure to understand what products offer the best solutions for your shipping needs to ensure you get the right product to keep your goods safe.
Avoid last minute transportation
You should always provide adequate notice when transporting temperature sensitive goods, as the availability of shipping containers is never guaranteed, making last-minute transportation a very risky move.
You need to make sure that the most appropriate shipping methods are available to ensure safe transport of goods, and this is rarely the case with last minute shipping requests. Always book shipping well in advance to make ensure you get the appropriate equipment.
