Great experience
The team includes drivers and logistics specialists with extensive experience in refrigerated cargo transportation. They successfully cover any distance, understand the specifics of vegetable transport, and quickly adapt to unforeseen situations.
Cargo control
We monitor the condition of transported products throughout the entire journey, from loading to delivery. Temperature, humidity levels, and other parameters are kept within permissible fluctuations.
Preliminary preparation
The vehicle is meticulously prepared for loading: the interior is washed and treated with disinfectants. Immediately before loading, it is brought to the required temperature to minimize the risk of significant fluctuations.
We work without intermediaries.
Owning our own fleet, including vehicles with a capacity of up to 22 tons, and having a professional team allows us to handle all operations independently without intermediaries. This enables us to maintain impeccable quality control and reasonable costs.

Conditions and requirements for potato transportation
Refrigerated delivery always requires compliance with a number of conditions. First and foremost, strict adherence to sanitary requirements and the use of specialized transport. It is also necessary to prepare a package of documents in advance that confirms the legality of the transportation.
Sanitary and Hygiene Standards
One of the main requirements applies to potato packaging. It must be made of materials that do not affect the quality and preservation of the root vegetables upon contact and ensure proper ventilation. Packaging in crates, pallets, and fabric bags is permitted.
Other standards:
- Transporting different varieties/types of potatoes in the same container is not allowed, regardless of volume in cubic meters.
- Since potatoes require good ventilation, it is recommended to reduce the stacking height of bags and provide ventilation gaps.
- The root vegetables must be reliably protected from prolonged exposure to light. This includes not only sunlight but also artificial lighting, as both contribute to sprouting and greening of the tubers.
- Transporting potatoes with other vegetables and fruits, especially those that emit high levels of ethylene (e.g., apples), is prohibited.
- Transporting potatoes with other products is prohibited, as potatoes have a specific odor and quickly absorb foreign smells.
Finally, air humidity must be maintained at 85-90% with the appropriate temperature regime. Fluctuations in humidity lead to rotting and sprouting.
Documentation for Meat Transportation
Preparing documentation is a crucial stage, as the absence of even one document can lead to delays or complete cancellation of the shipment. The driver must carry the following papers at all times:
- ТТН (товарно-транспортная накладная). В ней предоставлены все данные о транспорте и водителе, зафиксирован будущий маршрут и перечислены все единицы товара.
- Путевой лист. Этот документ выдается водителю экспедитором непосредственно перед выходом на маршрут. В нем указана информация о ТС и водителе – в частности, данные о пройденном медосмотре.
- Договор с заказчиком. В договоре прописаны все нюансы перевозки: утвержденный маршрут, сроки доставки, регламентированные действия водителя в форс-мажорных ситуациях.
В пакет документов также включаются сертификаты качества.
Помимо документации, связанной непосредственно с транспортировкой и грузом, у водителя должны быть следующие личные документы:
- driver's license
- power of attorney to operate the vehicle;
- technical inspection ticket
- insurance
- Medical record book
Having all the necessary documents guarantees the successful completion of the route and proves the legality of the transportation.
Vehicle requirements
Внутреннее покрытие рефрижератора должно легко отмываться от любых загрязнений, а также быть устойчивым к регулярному воздействию дезинфицирующих средств – поскольку обработка фургона проводится перед каждой новой погрузкой.
В нашем распоряжении имеется необходимый подвижной состав разной грузоподъемности до 22 тонн для обеспечения безопасной транспортировки свежего картофеля любого сорта: тягачи VOLVO FH и SITRAK CH7-MAX, рефрижераторные полуприцепы. Перевозим грузы с максимальным весом до 22 тонн.
Temperature Regimes
Температурные диапазоны меняются в зависимости от типа перевозимого картофеля. Стандартный интервал составляет 5-15°С, при этом для семенного картофеля рекомендованы условия в 3-6°С, для столового от 4 до 8°С, и для раннего – от 10 до 15°С.
Температуры ниже или выше указанной приведет к порче продукции.
Thus, at temperatures above 5°C (but especially at 15°C and humidity over 90%), tuber sprouting begins, while below 4°C, the taste of the root vegetable changes.
