Is the lid always the weakest point?

Do not assume lid effects; inspect and record the gasket, closure, openings and body together.

Does twice the insulation mean twice the time?

Do not assume a linear link between insulation thickness and hold time; measure the assembled model.

Why does a container sweat outside?

Assess condensation with dew-point and surface measurements; sweating alone does not prove an insulation defect.

What performance commitment makes sense for a passive container?

Define model, load and test conditions instead of a single temperature promise; specify handover measurement and responsibility.

Does catalogue temperature data apply to your route?

Check the model, load and conditions in the test report, then trial the same setup with sensors on your route.

Measurement and traceability
What evidence should you request from a container supplier?

What evidence should you request from a container supplier?

Request model tests, use limits, cleaning and spare-parts evidence alongside price; test claims against your route.

Is one container size or a mix of sizes a better fit?

Measure order size, unused return volume, stacking fit and washing work. Do not mix sizes before testing modular compatibility.

What happens if you get the size wrong?

A wrong size costs you on every trip, not once. Below: the legal vehicle width limit in Turkey, the GEBHARDT Isotec TBX dimension table, and how a 10 mm reading error changes what fits.

Securing ice packs inside the vehicle

Under hard braking both the plate and the loaded container move forward. The plate is held in the container's own slot, the container on the vehicle's lashing points.
