Truck and Trailer Refrigeration Solutions
From mile one to one thousand, Copeland safeguards critical temperature-sensitive food and pharmaceutical freight with end-to-end compression technologies and controls solutions that ensure freshness and quality, reduce waste, help reduce energy use and reinforce compliance.
When every degree matters, disruptions aren’t an option
Temperature fluctuations can lead to spoilage, wasted goods and regulatory non-compliance. In addition, limited visibility of sensitive in-transit cargo puts customers at risk for accepting defective shipments and even theft.
Copeland protects shipments by combining high-efficiency compression, controls and monitoring solutions to deliver precise temperature control, real-time alerts and predictive insights that help identify and avoid risks.
We cool or monitor more than 5 million ocean containers and temperature-sensitive overland journeys annually, helping ensure quality and reducing waste.1

Transport refrigeration solutions in action
Copeland’s integrated compression technologies and controls solutions have been pivotal for cold chain leaders across the globe, reducing waste and optimizing operations. From saving loads of produce to ensuring life-saving medicine reaches patients, our systems make a direct impact on safety and efficiency.
Ensuring temperature control in H&M Bay's cold chain operations
Challenge: H&M Bay, a leading less-than-truckload (LTL) freight company, faced challenges in ensuring proper storage temperatures for perishable goods during transit. With varying ambient conditions, driver errors and no real-time shipment tracking, they risked financial losses, spoiled shipments and customer dissatisfaction due to temperature deviations.
Solution: H&M Bay adopted Copeland's GO real-time lux trackers, integrating them with their transportation management system for seamless monitoring. These trackers provide real-time temperature, location and security data, enabling quick responses to anomalies. This solution reduced spoiled shipments, minimized claims and lowered insurance costs, ensuring reliable cold chain management.
Securing high-value shipments with Copeland GO Trackers
Challenge: Huertos del Valle, a client of Chilean distributor Saieg & Maggi, faced severe challenges when thieves targeted high-value nut shipments, using GPS jammers to disable standard tracking. With $240,000 per load at risk, they urgently needed a dependable solution to maintain security, recover stolen goods and safeguard their operations.
Solution: The Copeland GO real-time lux tracker provided Huertos del Valle with unmatched security by continuing to report truck location despite GPS jamming. This ensured swift recovery of the truck and its $240,000 load, improved driver safety and validated the tracker as a reliable theft-prevention tool.
Preserving shrimp quality for maximum profitability
Challenge: An Indian shrimp exporter faced serious obstacles maintaining temperature integrity during shipping. Drivers turned off refrigeration to save fuel, causing clustering that reduced product quality and shelf life. Without real-time monitoring, they risked spoilage, lower prices and profit loss.
Solution: Copeland GO real-time trackers improved the shrimp exporter's cold chain by ensuring 24/7 temperature monitoring, sending alerts for breaches and providing complete shipment visibility. This solution minimized spoilage, preserved product quality and maximized profitability with consistent contracted prices.
