Chiller Truck Rental Dubai
Three and a half tonnes of temperature-controlled box body, with a driver who knows the loading bays. Quoted per route.
When a van stops being enough, this is the next step — and for most growing food businesses in Dubai, it's the vehicle they end up living in.
Our chiller trucks are Isuzu-class units with insulated box bodies and independent refrigeration, carrying up to 3.5 tonnes at anything from +10°C down to -18°C. The box body is the point: it takes pallets, it takes roll cages, and it lets a driver work a multi-drop route without unpacking half the load at every stop.
Available daily, weekly or on a monthly contract with a dedicated vehicle and driver assigned to your route.
Best suited for
- Supermarket and grocery replenishment routes
- Wholesale market collections and distribution
- Multi-drop pallet deliveries across Dubai
- Catering and hotel bulk supply runs
- Frozen and chilled mixed loads up to 3.5 tonnes
How it works
Every rate includes the vehicle, refrigeration, maintenance, insurance and driver. Fuel and Salik are billed at cost with receipts.
| Rental term | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | 9 working hours, driver included | One-off jobs and short projects |
| Weekly | 6 days, Friday off, driver included | Seasonal peaks and cover |
| Monthly | Dedicated vehicle & driver, fixed invoice | Regular routes — our best rate |
Rates depend on your route, hours, temperature and contract length — how our pricing works.
Built for real distribution work
A 3.5-tonne reefer earns its keep on routes where a van would need two trips. If you're running the same circuit every morning — Al Aweer to a set of restaurants, or a DC to a chain of outlets — the truck usually costs less per drop than the van it replaces, once you count the driver's hours.
Pallets, cages and a body that works
The box body takes standard pallets and roll cages, which means loading is a forklift job rather than a hand-ball. For clients moving cartons, that difference alone often shortens the loading window by half an hour a day.
Temperature that survives a multi-drop route
The refrigeration unit runs independently of the engine — critical on a route with fifteen stops, because the load stays cold while the truck is switched off at every door. We pre-cool to your target before collection and monitor through the run, with delivery reporting available on request.
Terms and transparency
The daily rate covers nine working hours, six days a week with Friday off, and includes an experienced driver, the refrigeration, maintenance and insurance. Fuel and Salik are billed at cost and we keep every receipt — the same policy we've run since 2008.
Is 3.5 tonnes the right size?
| Vehicle | Payload | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Chiller Van | 1 tonne | City drops, tight streets |
| Chiller Truck | 3.5 tonnes | Pallet work, multi-drop routes |
| Heavy-Duty Truck | 7.5 tonnes | Bulk freight, intercity |
If your load sits near a boundary, call us. Sending a truck where a van would do is an easy way for a transport company to make money — we'd rather keep you for ten years than overcharge you for one.
Frequently asked
How much does a chiller truck cost to rent in Dubai?
It depends on your route, daily hours, temperature and how long you need it. We quote the job and fix the rate before the vehicle moves. Fuel and Salik are billed at cost with receipts.
What size loads fit in a 3.5 tonne chiller truck?
Up to 3,500 kg. The box body takes standard pallets and roll cages — typically enough for a full supermarket replenishment route or a day of wholesale distribution.
Can the truck hold frozen and chilled goods together?
A single-zone truck holds one temperature at a time, so a mixed load runs at the colder setting. If you regularly need two temperatures on one route, tell us — we'll advise whether two vehicles or a split schedule works out cheaper.
Do you offer chiller truck rental on a monthly contract?
Yes, and it's our most popular arrangement. You get a dedicated truck, the same driver each day and a fixed monthly invoice. It works out considerably cheaper per day than booking individually — most distribution clients move to monthly within their first quarter.
Is a driver included with the chiller truck?
Yes. Our rates include an experienced, cold-chain trained driver. Self-drive is available on selected vehicles if your company has appropriately licensed staff.
