Portable insulated containers
February 1st 2007 Everyone who uses the roads during daylight hours knows only too well the delays and frustrations caused by the overload of traffic in many areas. If this results in a missed delivery, costs are serious for everyone involved – retailer, supplier, logistics company, etc. New initiatives to amend the curfews for night time deliveries imposed by many local councils will enable deliveries to be made during the night. This will be a help with the delivery of dry goods, but may present its own problems for chilled and frozen products. Most delivery points (other than large supermarkets) do not have sufficient temperaturecontrolled storage to cope with goods being left for several hours prior to being placed in the display cabinets, and often staff are not available to deal with the need for quick unloading and storing of temperature-sensitive products. The obvious answer is portable insulated containers with ease of handling and a high standard of insulation and refrigeration. Olivo Cold Logistics specialises in such containers. The company offers expertise in true multi-temperature distribution methods, whether for chilled or frozen products. Products from Olivo use eutectic cooling or the Siber System of liquid CO2 injection – both are totally silent with no gas emissions. Malcolm Gilbert, UK Sales and Marketing Manager for Olivo, said: "We have customers already who are doing exactly what these new amendments to the regulations propose – delivering at night to avoid congestion and delays."
