Part of Transport & Logistics
Al Tawfiq Group moves chilled and frozen cargo in refrigerated (reefer) trailers across Saudi Arabia, NEOM, the Red Sea and Tabuk. The box is pre-cooled before loading, the setpoint is agreed to your cargo, and cold-chain discipline — airflow, stacking and door control — is held from loading to delivery. Cross-border reefer transport to Egypt is available under one contract

Pick a cargo mode — the doors open, the load goes in and the setpoint changes on the box. Illustrative — the exact trailer, setpoint and checks are agreed per load.

CARGO·03
Frozen food and ice cream held at deep-frozen setpoints door to door.
CARGO·04
Chilled or frozen protein for camps, caterers and retailers.
CARGO·05
Mixed chilled loads for project camps and hospitality across the corridor.
CARGO·06
Non-food cargo that must stay in a controlled range — agreed per load.

HOW A REEFER MOVE WORKS
01
Cargo type, temperature requirement, quantity, pickup and destination.
02
The box is pre-cooled to setpoint and the unit checked before loading.
03
Loaded fast with door discipline, stacked for airflow, sealed.
04
Setpoint held in transit; checks agreed per contract.
05
Offloaded at setpoint, with one contact throughout.
FIG.04
COLD CHAIN DISCIPLINE
A reefer unit can only hold what the loading lets it. That’s why every move starts before the cargo arrives: the box is pre-cooled to the agreed setpoint, the refrigeration unit and door seals are checked, and the trailer is clean and odour-free for foodstuffs.
At loading, door discipline keeps the cold in — doors open late, close early and stay shut between positions. Cargo is stacked for airflow, off the walls and clear of the ceiling and floor channels, because cold air has to circulate around the load, not fight through it. Chilled and frozen are never mixed in one compartment at one setpoint.
On the road the unit holds the setpoint through desert heat, and the checks and records you need — at loading, in transit and at delivery — are agreed per contract, so your receiving team gets the load in the condition it left. If the cargo also needs lifting or short-term storage either side of the move, the same group provides it.

DECISION GUIDE
Most general cargo goes on a flatbed. Here’s when a sibling trailer is the better call.
| Consideration | Reefer (TL·03) | Curtain-sided (TL·04) | Flatbed (TL·02) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | Chilled or frozen at setpoint | Ambient, weather-protected | Ambient, sheeted |
| Best cargo | Perishables, frozen, sensitive goods | Palletized dry goods | Steel, containers, project cargo |
| Body | Insulated box + refrigeration unit | Curtained body, side access | Open deck, 3-way loading |
| Loading | Rear doors, dock or forklift | Full-length side access | Top, side or crane |
Dry palletized freight that just needs weather cover? See curtain-sided (TL·04) → · Steel, containers or project cargo? See flatbed (TL·02) →

WHY IT MATTERS
In corridor heat, a reefer isn't a trailer choice — it's whether the cargo arrives as cargo or as a claim.
NEOM-approved · corridor-based · pre-cooled, held at setpoint, delivered cold.

QUERIES
Reefer transport is road haulage in a refrigerated trailer — an insulated box with its own refrigeration unit that holds a set temperature (the setpoint) in transit. It's how perishable and temperature-sensitive cargo travels without breaking the cold chain.
Both chilled and frozen modes are available, and the exact setpoint is agreed to your cargo per load — fresh produce, dairy and beverages typically ride chilled, while frozen food runs at deep-frozen setpoints. Tell us the cargo and the temperature it needs, and we confirm the box and setting.
By winning the temperature before departure: the box is pre-cooled to setpoint, the unit and seals are checked, loading follows door discipline, and cargo is stacked so cold air can circulate. The refrigeration unit then holds the setpoint on the road.
Checks and record-keeping at loading, in transit and at delivery are agreed per contract to match what your receiving team or client requires. Tell us what documentation you need and we'll confirm it in the quotation.
Yes. Recurring chilled and frozen supply runs — for camps, caterers and retailers across NEOM, the Red Sea and Tabuk — can be set up as a contract with agreed days and windows, alongside one-off moves.
Across Saudi Arabia with a base in the Tabuk–NEOM–Red Sea corridor, and yes — cross-border reefer transport to Egypt is available, coordinated under one contract with the temperature held through the crossing.
Whenever the cargo has a temperature it must not leave — perishables, frozen goods, and sensitive products. Dry palletized freight that only needs weather protection can ride curtain-sided (TL·04) instead; if you're unsure, send the cargo and we'll advise which body it needs.
The cargo, the temperature mode it needs (chilled or frozen), the quantity or pallet count, the pickup and destination, the date, and whether it's one-off or recurring. The transport team replies with the box, setpoint and a price.
