Available Refrigerated Straight Truck Types

On the COOP platform, common variations of Refrigerated Straight Trucks listed for rent in Chicago, IL include:

Metallic Floor

Most refrigerated straight trucks are made with metallic floors, a durable option for such trucks. Refrigerated straight trucks with metallic floors are long-lasting and assure that your goods are safe during transport.

Wooden Floor

Wooden floors are the alternative to metallic floors. The major reason to prefer this variation is that it enables great airflow throughout the truck's cargo compartment. When renting a truck, some business owners or retailers look out for such detail as it means that their cargo can get good ventilation while the temperature is equally regulated.

Multiple Temperature Zone

A refrigerated straight truck having multiple temperature zones means that such a truck does not maintain a uniform temperature throughout the cargo area. Some parts of the cargo compartments are colder than others, allowing you to regulate how different items are preserved during transportation.

Refrigerated Straight Truck Uses

The commercial fleet vehicles rented on COOP can be used for any of your business needs. Here are some examples of the types of uses for Refrigerated Straight Trucks rented on COOP.

Delivery Services

Refrigerated straight trucks are used for the same purposes as ordinary straight trucks; to carry loads. However, they differ in the goods they carry. Refrigerated straight trucks deliver temperature-sensitive goods to prevent them from getting damaged during transportation.

Frozen Food

Many people who rent refrigerated straight trucks use frozen food such as chicken, dairy products, and fruits. By maintaining the temperature of the goods throughout transportation, they can be assured of retaining the quality of their goods.

Flower Transportation

Flowers are sensitive objects, and while they do not have to be kept at low temperatures, harsh temperatures can damage them irreparably. This is why many people rent refrigerated straight trucks to transport flowers when necessary.
