Reefer & Heated Transportation Services

A refrigerated van (reefer) is a temperature-controlled trailer designed to carry perishable goods at a precise set point. Whether your freight needs to be cooled, heated, or frozen, a reefer keeps it there from dock to dock — critical in Canadian winters and summers alike.

Cooled, heated, or frozen

Reefers protect produce, dairy, meat, frozen foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and any freight that can't tolerate temperature swings. In winter, heated service prevents liquids, paints, adhesives and canned goods from freezing on cross-country lanes.

We also offer temporary refrigerated storage solutions when you need cold capacity on the ground, not just on the road.

Frequently asked questions

What temperature range can a reefer maintain?

Modern reefer units typically maintain set points from about -20°F (-29°C) for deep-frozen goods up to +70°F (21°C) for heated protection, held consistently across multi-day transits.

Do you offer LTL reefer service?

Yes. We consolidate temperature-controlled LTL on major lanes, so you can ship a few pallets of perishables without paying for a dedicated reefer truckload.

I wanted to thank Roy Militar from Shipmate Logistics for everything he did for me the last 2 weeks. I needed to get 10 skids crossed to the USA and he helped me through the process. I also called 3 other companies and he was priced the best and the only one who communicated on time.

Shipmate has been an amazing logistics partner to work with. Fabian and his team are very responsive. Their trucks are always on time and we can rest easy knowing they are watching our loads and communicating with us throughout the delivery process. I cannot recommend them enough.

I needed to ship a couple of skids from Vancouver to Toronto and was having trouble finding an organized, efficient transportation service. I was recommended Shipmate Logistics and they did not disappoint — they fulfilled my needs quickly and at a competitive price. Roy was great with communication, constantly giving live updates.
