Nash Bodies, well-known as builders of quality insulated bodies and successful exporter of insulated panels to Asia and Australia, confirm the positive move towards multi-temperature (MT) systems.
 

Cute and funky, this refrigerated truck projects quality transport and quality products being hauled. It also proves that you don't have to be big to make an impact. Good one guys.

Paul Nash says when the fridge unit is correctly specified and the structural integrity ensured by using the correct insulation materials, MT systems offer cost-effective refrigerated transport. Nash draws attention to bodies his company builds for the 3663 Group that maintain -25 0C in the front compartment and ambient temperature in the rear compartment without temperature bleed through.

Based on his considerable experience, Nash says operators should not be lulled into acquiring loadbodies built with sub-standard insulation materials and under-spec'd fridge units. The result will be disappointing - if not disastrous - especially now in the fiercely competitive business of food safety and quality.

Nash obviously walks his talk as evidenced by this little beauty pictured alongside which was built by the company and spotted by the editor of FleetWatch operating in Johannesburg. The owners have taken full advantage of the flat body surface to promote their company and services with clever slogans and catch phrases. I particularly like the one that warns off potential thieves with the message: 'Driver carried no cash....he's married".

Well done to both Nash Bodies and to the management of Pizzarology for putting refrigerated vehicles on the road that act not only as a credit to the quality-mindedness of both companies but also serve to positively promote the image of the refrigerated transport industry as a whole. It's the way to go!
