Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs)
Below are answers to common questions about Solomon Commercials’ Temperature Controlled Trucks 18-26 tonne.
Common options include diesel-driven, engine-driven, electric standby, and hybrid refrigeration systems. Hybrid and electric units are increasingly preferred for their reduced emissions and lower operating costs in large-scale logistics operations.
High-grade insulation is essential for reducing temperature fluctuations, lowering fuel usage, and preserving product quality. Solomon Commercials advanced insulation panels with minimal thermal bridging, and durable construction are more than suitable for long-distance haulage.
The gross vehicle weight (GVW) sets the legal maximum, but the actual payload — the weight you can carry after fuel and equipment — determines whether the truck meets operational needs. Procurement should confirm real-world payload figures.
Solomon Commercials provide transparent data covering purchase price, fuel consumption, refrigeration efficiency, maintenance schedules, warranty costs, and residual values. Procurement decisions should be based on lifecycle cost, not unit price alone.
Procurement teams often source vehicles under framework or multi-year contracts. Solomon Commercials offers the capacity to scale production, manage batch deliveries, and maintain consistent quality across large fleet orders .
Our vehicles maintain the required temperature range for most commodities (e.g. chilled +2 °C–+8 °C, frozen down to –20 °C or lower)?
With precise and stable temperature control (and humidity, if relevant)? with sensors, alarms and logging systems for compliance?
As a custom refrigerated body builder we support multi-compartment / multi-temperature zones for mixed loads (e.g. chilled produce, frozen goods, ambient items in one run)?
Our interior are food-grade, with hygienic materials (e.g. hygienic wall/floor lining, easy-clean surfaces, corrosion-resistant), sealed well (no gaps or thermal bridges), and easy to sanitise.
Solomon BodyGuard is our refrigerated vehicle maintenance service designed to extend fleet lifetime value.
Our extensive UK wide network of refrigerated vehicle inspection, maintenance and repairs centres are complemented by a fleet of mobile refrigerated vehicle body repair engineers means we can help your business keep moving and maintain cold chain fleet durability.
Refrigerated lorries must comply with regulations such as ATP standards for perishable food transport, HACCP guidelines, FSMA (where applicable), GDP for pharmaceuticals, and national road transport regulations. Compliance ensures product safety and legal operation.
Slipstream aerodynamic performance.
Improved aerodynamics reduce fuel and electric charging costs across your fleet.
