Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We’ve answered some of the most common questions about ColdBox and our cold chain services. If you still have any queries, feel free to reach out — we’re here to help!
How is refrigerated truck transport pricing calculated in India?
ColdBox utilizes a transparent, distance-based per-kilometer pricing model calibrated to vehicle capacity (Mini, Medium, or Large 32ft Reefer) and route transit distance. Shippers pay strictly for the actual route transit without hidden broker surcharges or arbitrary seasonal markups. For enterprise contracts, custom slab rates are structured based on monthly volume commitments, guaranteed truck availability, and scheduled multi-drop requirements.
How quickly can an on-demand refrigerated vehicle be allocated and dispatched?
Through the ColdBox centralized digital dispatch platform, reefer vehicles are allocated and confirmed in under 2 minutes. For urgent intracity spot shipments across Delhi NCR, vehicles arrive at customer loading docks within 2 to 3 hours of booking confirmation. Interstate dispatches are scheduled with pre-cooled vehicles staged precisely to match factory production shifts.
What is the minimum payload volume required to book a refrigerated delivery vehicle?
Shippers can book dedicated Mini Reefers (Tata Ace or Mahindra Bolero Maxi Truck) for cargo volumes starting from 500 kg up to 1.5 metric tons (140 to 180 cubic feet). This service is optimized for micro-deliveries, restaurant supply runs, clinical trials, and quick-commerce dark store replenishment without paying for unused truck space.
Do you offer monthly dedicated fleet contracts for corporate supply chains?
Yes. ColdBox provides dedicated monthly and annual fleet contracts for FMCG, dairy, poultry, and pharmaceutical enterprises. Contracts include dedicated vehicles branded or unbranded, assigned commercial drivers trained in temperature logging, custom multi-drop route planning, backup vehicle guarantees, and customized enterprise dashboard integrations.
Are GST tax invoices provided with full Input Tax Credit (ITC) eligibility?
All commercial shipments dispatched by Thermoforge Dynamics Private Limited (ColdBox) receive fully compliant B2B GST tax invoices featuring valid HSN/SAC codes (SAC 9965 / 9967 for freight transport services). Corporate clients can claim 100% Input Tax Credit on all transport and cold storage transit expenses.
How are loading dock delays or vehicle detention charges billed?
ColdBox provides a standard 2-hour complimentary window for loading and a 2-hour window for unloading. If facility dock congestion causes extended detention, transparent hourly standby rates apply to cover fuel and auxiliary diesel cooling unit consumption necessary to keep cargo chilled while stationary.
What are the payload capacity, volume, and pallet dimensions of a Mini Reefer?
A ColdBox Mini Reefer features a payload capacity of 1.0 to 1.5 metric tons with an insulated internal cargo volume of 140 to 180 cubic feet. The chamber accommodates 1 to 2 standard industrial pallets (1200mm x 1000mm) or up to 60 standard milk/produce crates, engineered for agile urban navigation where heavy commercial vehicles face daytime entry restrictions.
What specifications define the Medium Reefer fleet?
Medium Reefers (built on Eicher 14ft, 17ft, and 19ft chassis) offer payload capacities between 3.5 and 7.0 metric tons with 450 to 750 cubic feet of volume. Designed for regional distributor runs and intercity logistics, these vehicles accommodate 4 to 8 pallets with dual-temperature zone options and reinforced corrugated flooring.
When should an enterprise deploy a 32-foot multi-axle refrigerated container?
The 32-foot multi-axle reefer container is engineered for primary intercity trunking, factory-to-C&F warehouse transport, and bulk export movements. Accommodating 14 to 18 standard industrial pallets and payloads between 14 and 20 metric tons, it features heavy-duty Carrier or Thermo King refrigeration units capable of holding -25°C over multi-day interstate transits.
What vehicle chassis models are utilized across the ColdBox fleet?
The fleet comprises purpose-built commercial chassis from leading OEMs: Tata Ace and Mahindra Bolero for light urban transport; Eicher Pro 2000/3000 series (14ft, 17ft, 19ft) for medium freight; and BharatBenz, Tata Signa, and Ashok Leyland multi-axle platforms for heavy long-haul 24ft and 32ft refrigerated container movement.
What insulation materials and chamber specifications ensure thermal retention?
ColdBox reefer chambers are constructed using high-density (40-42 kg/m³) Polyurethane Foam (PUF) insulation sandwiched between food-grade GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) sheets. Wall and ceiling insulation measures 100mm to 120mm in thickness, complemented by heavy-duty PVC thermal air curtains and multi-lip EPDM perimeter door gaskets to prevent heat ingress during door openings.
What total temperature range does ColdBox support across its fleet?
ColdBox operates across an active temperature spectrum from -25°C to +25°C. This encompasses Deep Freeze (-25°C to -18°C) for ice creams and frozen meats, Chilled (-2°C to +4°C) for fresh dairy, poultry, and vaccines, Cool (+4°C to +10°C) for fresh produce and floriculture, and Controlled Ambient (+15°C to +25°C) for chocolates, cosmetics, and dry pharmaceuticals.
What is the mandatory reefer pre-cooling protocol before cargo loading?
Pre-cooling is the non-negotiable operational standard where the vehicle’s refrigeration unit runs for 30 to 45 minutes prior to dock arrival to pull the internal chamber down to the designated setpoint. Loading perishable cargo into an un-chilled truck transfers residual wall heat into the cargo, causing thermal shock and rapid surface spoilage.
What temperature standard is required for commercial ice cream transportation?
Commercial ice cream requires continuous deep-freeze transit between -22°C and -25°C. Any temperature rise above -18°C causes ice crystal growth, structural collapse, and fat destabilization that permanently ruins texture. ColdBox reefers undergo rigorous pre-cooling to -25°C before loading and maintain this setpoint continuously until receiving dock handover.
What are the regulatory temperature standards for liquid milk and dairy products?
Pasteurized liquid milk, paneer, butter, and fermented dairy products must be maintained between +2°C and +4°C throughout transit. Strict temperature stability inhibits lactic acid bacterial multiplication, preventing souring and curdling. Vehicles feature food-grade hygienic stainless steel or aluminum corrugated flooring compliant with FSSAI regulations.
How does ColdBox transport fresh raw poultry and meat safely?
Fresh dressed poultry and raw meat cuts are transported in sanitized, leak-proof chambers held strictly between -2°C and +2°C to suppress microbial activity without freezing muscle tissue. For frozen poultry, temperatures are locked at -18°C. Chambers undergo chemical sanitization and washdowns between every transit to eliminate cross-contamination risks.
What compliance guidelines govern pharmaceutical and vaccine logistics in India?
Pharmaceutical shipments conform to WHO Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and Indian Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) norms. ColdBox utilizes NABL-calibrated temperature data loggers placed at multi-point high/low airflow zones, maintaining vaccines and biological serums at an uncompromised +2°C to +8°C with zero-tolerance excursion protocols.
How do you protect chocolate and confectionery from blooming during summer?
Chocolates require controlled ambient shipping between +15°C and +18°C with relative humidity maintained below 60%. Unregulated summer heat causes cocoa butter separation (fat bloom) and sugar recrystallization (sugar bloom). Active cooling prevents thermal softening while preserving visual gloss and packaging integrity.
What are the cold chain protocols for fresh exotic fruits and berries?
Fresh berries, cherries, and exotic produce require rapid pre-cooling and transit at +2°C to +4°C with 90-95% relative humidity to prevent desiccation and moisture loss. Fleet operators manage ventilation to prevent carbon dioxide buildup and ensure sensitive fruits are segregated from high ethylene-producing items like ripening bananas.
Can ColdBox transport temperature-sensitive industrial chemicals and resins?
Yes. Specialty chemicals, water-purification membranes, epoxy resins, polyurethane catalysts, and high-performance adhesives requiring temperature stability between +5°C and +20°C are transported in isolated, clean chambers preventing thermal degradation and polymerization.
