Why choose our Full Service refrigerated vehicles?
Transporting, storing and delivering sensitive products: temperature-controlled logistics leaves no room for improvisation.
Cold chain management is a critical link in operational performance, whether for a one-off event or as part of everyday business activities. Faced with these demands, you need a comprehensive, reliable and responsive solution that can guarantee the continuity of the cold chain in all circumstances. That's where renting a refrigerated vehicle from Petit Forestier comes in.
This is precisely what Petit Forestier offers with its full-service refrigerated vehicle rental service: a turnkey solution designed to secure your operations, from the first kilometre to the return of the vehicle.
High-pressure logistics environments
In sectors where operations take place on site, with tight deadlines and access restrictions, every link in the logistics chain must function flawlessly. Cold chain management is often invisible but absolutely essential. Whether it's fresh produce that needs to be kept cool, samples that need to be presented, or food that needs to be stored or transported, the cold chain cannot afford any failures.
Added to this are often:
- Varied and sometimes technical locations
- Short set-up times
- Strict regulatory requirements
- And constant pressure on reliability and continuity of service.
Petit Forestier's Full Service stands out as a comprehensive solution, capable of adapting in real time, delivering quickly and taking care of all operational aspects related to cold storage.
Full Service: much more than just refrigerated vehicle hire
With Petit Forestier, hiring a refrigerated vehicle is not just about providing a truck. Our Full Service offer is a comprehensive package designed to free you from operational constraints throughout your project.
This all-inclusive offer covers all the key stages:
- Vehicle delivery to site can be offered as an option, in line with the often tight deadlines associated with events.
- Installation and commissioning are carried out by refrigeration professionals to ensure optimal operation from the very first minute.
- Insurance is included in the rental contract, with additional options such as Smart Protect for extended, tailor-made cover.
- A dedicated contact person is available at all times to respond to your specific needs.
Once the equipment is in place, Full Service continues to play its role: preventive maintenance, regulatory checks, breakdown assistance with the provision of a replacement vehicle, everything is designed so that your teams can focus on their core business with complete confidence.
Petit Forestier also includes Smart Connect in its offering: a telematics solution that allows you to track your fleet in real time (geolocation, alerts in the event of temperature changes or zone exits). This is invaluable for managing your logistics operations in complete safety.
A solution designed for your day-to-day operations
Cold chain logistics requires consistency, responsiveness and reliability. Whether it's urban deliveries, inter-site rounds or multi-customer distribution, each use has its own specific constraints. Petit Forestier's Full Service is designed to meet this diversity of requirements.
We offer a comprehensive range of refrigerated vehicles, available for short or long-term hire, depending on your business:
The light refrigerated vehicle
Designed for urban deliveries or restricted access, this compact format allows you to navigate easily in town while maintaining a constant temperature. It is particularly suitable for city centre food shops, caterers or short delivery rounds.
The refrigerated van
With its larger load volume and manoeuvrability, it is ideal for distributors, restaurants or operators managing multiple delivery points. Its versatility makes it a strategic choice for recurring activities with moderate flows.
The refrigerated heavy goods vehicle
It offers a good balance between load capacity and flexibility of use. Used for regional routes, multi-customer deliveries or regular logistics needs, it ensures the cold chain is maintained without compromising on autonomy.
The refrigerated semi-trailer
Ideal for high-density routes or long distances, this high-capacity vehicle guarantees a stable controlled temperature, even on extended journeys. It meets the requirements of manufacturers, logistics companies and purchasing centres.
Operational support throughout the rental period
In sectors where the cold chain is critical, every detail counts. That's why Petit Forestier's Full Service goes far beyond simple rental: it includes comprehensive on-site technical support throughout the rental period.
Our refrigeration engineers respond quickly to carry out commissioning, maintenance, adjustments or vehicle replacement if necessary — with one goal in mind: to ensure business continuity without interruption, in particular by providing a replacement vehicle if needed.
We also offer eco-driving and eco-friendly training for your drivers to ensure safe use and reduce consumption. In addition, Petit Forestier can help you calculate your carbon footprint, which is an asset for your CSR commitments or tenders.
Finally, we offer a multi-product range (vehicles and cold rooms), managed by a single point of contact at one of our 12 UK depots, allowing you to benefit from reliable and responsive support to simplify your logistics.
