The vehicle conversion specialist’s guide to refrigerated van mats
Fitting the right floor mats across a fleet of reefer trucks helps keep your clients’ team and goods safe, and can save time and money too.
A reefer truck’s original metal flooring can be slippery when wet, and its flat structure doesn’t support the air circulation needed for effective and hygienic refrigerated transport.
Whether these trucks provide transportation of pharmaceutical products or chilled food transportation, quality safety mats can be swiftly installed, will help prevent slips and falls, and support air circulation.
Three things to look for in reefer truck floor mats to save your clients time and money:
1. Materials and features that provide long-term safety
Deep frozen products like ice cream and ice must be transported below -20C, so it’s crucial to find durable reefer truck floor mats that won’t crack or curl in cold or freezing temperatures.
Look for an anti-slip surface to help prevent slips caused by tracked in water, and open grid drainage to quickly disperse condensation underfoot.
Reefer truck staff need comfortable surfaces to stand on while packing and unpacking shelves from vehicles. Floor mats with anti-fatigue properties boost productivity and help reduce the risk of injury, poor circulation, and joint problems.
Seek out mats with an edging option that can be added to the truck’s point of entry for safe and smooth loading of push carts and dollies.
2. A structure that keeps perishable products fresh and promotes hygiene
Reefer truck mats with an open grid construction support air circulation, which extends the shelf life of foods and beverages, and keeps pharmaceuticals stable for longer.
A non-porous construction reduces bacteria and mildew growth to keep perishable goods safe.
A single-piece construction that can be easily removed for fast cleaning.
3. One-piece construction that saves time and money on installation and maintenance
When fitting flooring across a large reefer truck fleet, look for floor mats that can be templated and supplied pre-cut in bespoke sizes, or mats that are easy to cut to fit on-site.
Reefer truck floor mats that can be loose-laid without the need for interlocking can save time and money on your production lines. Connect larger areas with a snap track to help prevent the risk of breaking at the mat joints.
By choosing reefer truck floor mats made from thermally efficient materials, vehicle conversion specialists can help their clients save money on cooling, too.
