Introduction: the importance of specialized and careful transportation
The transportation of live plants and perishable products represents one of the greatest challenges in modern logistics. This type of merchandise requires not only specific temperature and humidity conditions but also very tight delivery times and expert handling.
At Transexport, S.A., we have been perfecting our processes for over 50 years to offer efficient, safe, and tailored logistical solutions to meet each client’s needs. In this article, we explain how we guarantee quality in every shipment and what aspects you should consider when working with delicate products.
1. Why is the transportation of live plants and perishable products so complex?
The transportation of perishable products and live plants cannot be treated as a conventional shipment. Plants, fresh foods, pharmaceuticals, or agricultural products are sensitive to temperature changes, excessive vibration, exposure time, or even light.
A single mistake can lead to total loss of the merchandise, damage the supplier’s reputation, and generate unnecessary costs.
Critical factors affecting shipment quality:
- Temperature variations during transit
- Delivery delays that alter freshness
- Poor ventilation or excessive humidity
- Inadequate or non-refrigerated transportation
- Lack of experience in product handling
Therefore, the success of transporting perishable products directly depends on the experience of the logistics operator and the available technical means.
2. Technology and means: vehicles and warehouses adapted to perishable products
At Transexport, we have a fleet of refrigerated vehicles equipped with temperature control and tracking systems. This infrastructure allows us to adapt transportation according to the nature of the merchandise.
Refrigerated warehouses with double chamber:
- 5 °C for fresh foods, sensitive plants, and pharmaceuticals
- 15 °C for wines, agricultural products, and other goods requiring preservation without freezing
Additionally, our loading and unloading system ensures that the cold chain is never broken.
This type of facility is key to providing professional refrigerated logistics, especially in sectors such as:
- Floriculture and gardening
- Food industry
- Pharmaceutical sector
- Distribution of wines and delicate beverages
3. Experience and adaptation: over 50 years in the perishable transport sector
