What is generally transported in Class F refrigerated trucks?
2 Answers
Class F refrigerated trucks generally transport frozen meat products, ice cream, dumplings, and other types of frozen food. Class F refrigerated trucks represent that the average temperature inside the compartment is below or equal to -20 degrees Celsius. To ensure the transportation of frozen, refrigerated, insulated, and constant-temperature items, the transportation department divides refrigerated trucks into eight categories, including perishable food refrigerated trucks (Classes A to F) and biological product refrigerated trucks (Classes G and H). The eight categories of refrigerated trucks are as follows: 1. Class A refrigerated trucks: average temperature between 12 to 0 degrees Celsius; 2. Class B refrigerated trucks: average temperature between 12 to -10 degrees Celsius; 3. Class C refrigerated trucks: average temperature between 12 to -20 degrees Celsius; 4. Class D refrigerated trucks: average temperature below or equal to 0 degrees Celsius; 5. Class E refrigerated trucks: average temperature below or equal to -10 degrees Celsius; 6. Class F refrigerated trucks: average temperature below or equal to -20 degrees Celsius; 7. Class G refrigerated trucks: average temperature between 8 to 2 degrees Celsius; 8. Class H refrigerated trucks: average temperature below or equal to -20 degrees Celsius.
I have been driving a Class F refrigerated truck, mainly transporting frozen food, with the temperature maintained below -18°C to keep the goods fresh. Frozen meats like beef chunks and pork slices are the most common, especially during festive seasons when the shipment volume is high. There are also seafood items such as frozen shrimp and fish, delivered to major supermarkets or restaurants. Ice cream transportation is particularly frequent during the peak summer season, with the rear compartment packed full of boxes. Fresh agricultural products do not fall under Class F; they are specifically delivered by refrigerated trucks. Class F trucks are suitable for items requiring ultra-low temperatures for long-term storage. During work, it's essential to ensure the compartment is well-sealed and avoid leaving the engine off for too long during stops, as temperature rises can lead to thawing and spoilage. I remember once transporting a truckload of frozen pizzas to another city, monitoring the temperature throughout the journey, and delivering them safely so customers could enjoy them with peace of mind.
