Increasing profit margins in the cold chain
June 7, 2022 – Matthew Neumeier

In the 1990s...
LoadLok noticed increasing pressure on profits and margins for transport companies in refrigerated transport. Fleet operators needed a solution that enabled them to reduce fuel consumption while increasing flexibility in terms of the types of cargo they transport in one trailer. To address this need, LoadLok developed the IsoLok Frigo and the IsoLok Cool and has occupied the top market position in the Multitemp segment ever since.

Less Fuel Consumption, More Flexibility
IsoLok Multitemp solutions have market-leading insulation performance and compartment closure, our solutions are able to save users as much as 40% on energy consumption. The reduced size of the conditioned compartment enables them to transport dry or cooled products in the remaining space, increasing flexibility and load efficiency.
“Regardless of the differences in temperatures, the number of stops, or the flexibility requirements of our customers - we can offer a solution that fits best. We have the widest range in ‘Fixed’ and ‘Removeable’ solutions that excel in insulation values, durability, ergonomy, with the minimum loading height restriction in the market."

Customizable to Customer Requirements
LoadLok’s product offering goes far beyond standard solutions. Loadlok is able to accomodate custom requests and develop unique solutions tailored to the individual needs of the customer.
“For a German supermarket chain our R&D and manufacturing teams worked closely with the customer to develop a customized IsoLok Cool Serie. The customer has two conditioned compartments in their vehicles separated by a fixed longitudinal wall. To close both compartments with maximum insulating performance, combined with easy and light user operation, we developed the IsoLok Cool53 SmartLift solution, split in line with the location of the vehicle’s longitudinal divider. Such was the success of the solution that it has now become the industry standard in supermarket distribution"
"Another growing market is the transport of temperature sensitive pharmaceutics. Such products demand the highest levels of temperature control. Combining excellent temperature performance with the short open/close times needed to minimize temperature variation, together with easy, light, ergonomic operation, we developed the IsoLok Frigo Serie Pharma for one such pharmaceutical customer. The addition of a manual flap (instead of open air-vents) ensures a sealed vacuum is maintained within the conditioned compartment until its release when the wall needs to be opened”.
