Chilled Goods (2°C to 8°C): Used for fresh produce, dairy products, some pharmaceuticals, and certain chemicals that require cool temperatures. 

Controlled/Ambient (Above 0°C): Ideal for products like confectionery, wines, and cosmetics that need a stable, non-refrigerated environment. 

Industries Relying on Temperature-Controlled Transport

Food and Beverage: From fresh fruits and vegetables to frozen items, maintaining the right temperature is critical for quality and safety. 

Chemicals: Certain chemicals demand specific temperatures to maintain their properties and ensure safe transportation. 

Horticulture: Plants and flowers often require controlled environments to stay fresh during transit.
