🚚 Introduction: Struggling With High Logistics Costs?

If you're running a business in Malaysia — whether it’s food, pharmaceuticals, flowers, or frozen goods — you already know that cold chain logistics isn’t cheap. Buying and maintaining a cold truck fleet involves huge upfront investments, servicing, permits, and unexpected repair costs.

That’s why many smart businesses are switching to a cold truck rental service — a proven way to cut costs while keeping operations flexible, efficient, and scalable.


Here’s everything you need to know to start saving today.


❄️ What Is Cold Truck Rental?

Cold truck rental allows businesses to lease refrigerated trucks (also called freezer trucks or chiller trucks) to transport goods that require temperature control. These trucks can maintain temperatures from -25°C to +25°C, depending on cargo needs.


Industries using cold trucks:

  • 🥦 Food & Beverage (fresh produce, dairy, frozen foods)

  • 💊 Pharmaceuticals (vaccines, medicines)

  • 💐 Florists (fresh flowers, plants)

  • 🥩 Meat and seafood suppliers


✅ How Cold Truck Rental Helps Cut Logistics Costs

1. No Heavy Upfront Investment 💸

Buying a cold truck can cost anywhere between RM150,000 to RM300,000. Renting lets you use the asset without draining your cash flow.


2. Lower Maintenance & Repair Expenses 🔧

When you rent, the truck owner typically covers:

  • Regular servicing

  • Refrigeration unit maintenance

  • Road tax and insurance

Saving you thousands annually on upkeep.


3. Flexibility to Scale Up or Down 🔄

Business booming during Ramadan or Christmas? Rent extra cold trucks short-term.Sales slow? Reduce your fleet

✅ No asset depreciation.

✅ No stress.


4. Compliance with Malaysian Standards 📜

Professional cold truck rental services ensure their fleet:

  • Follows Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) regulations

  • Meets GMP/GDP cold chain requirements for food and pharma sectors


5. Avoid Downtime Costs ⏱️

If a truck breaks down, rental companies immediately provide a replacement unit — keeping your supply chain running without interruption.
