EUROPE-WIDE DELIVERY OF REFRIGERATION CABINETS

We deliver your freezer cabinets to your customers’ shops within the agreed time frame. We meet all the technical and logistical requirements of your ready-to-plug-in cooling units, from collection from the factory to final functional testing.

HOW FREEZER CABINETS GET INTO STORES

Do you want to equip a large number of food retail outlets across Europe with your cooling appliances every week? Our special vehicles ensure that your sensitive freezer cabinets, overhead units and refrigerators arrive undamaged and on time. We assemble, assign numbers to the units and test the display cabinets on site – right up to acceptance. No matter what type of store or layout. Even after commissioning, you can rely on us to service and maintain your equipment.

Minimise the risk of project delays

The forwarding company is late, the sensitive cooling elements are damaged or the fitter is nowhere in sight. The timetable for the installation of refrigeration cabinets is soon in disarray. When it comes to the fitting out of new branches in particular, delays in the construction stages very quickly result in high costs.

‘WITH US YOU AVOID UNNECESSARY INTERFACES. OUR TECHNICIANS AT RHENUS NOT ONLY DELIVER FOOD RETAIL EQUIPMENT TO THE POINT OF USE, BUT ALSO HANDLE ALL THE OTHER STEPS UP TO COMMISSIONING.’

Mark Nummer Business Development Manager at Rhenus High Tech

Delivery and assembly done by professionals

Our delivery and assembly teams are experts when it comes to equipping supermarkets and discounters with over a dozen display cabinets within just a few hours. This involves more than just transporting and setting up the units: floor measuring, levelling, aligning, anchoring to walls and floors, checking inclination and functions, photo documentation and acceptance protocols are all part of our service as well.

Speaking of acceptance protocols: in addition to physical protocols, we are able to create digital protocols. Within minutes of signing, everyone involved is thus informed of the project’s completion.

We get down to work: Commitment to cooling unit logistics

OUR SERVICES IN THE FIELD OF FOOD RETAIL EQUIPMENT LOGISTICS FOR YOU

Factory collection

It doesn’t matter where in Europe your factory is located: thanks to our comprehensive network, we can reach your production site within a short amount of time, collect the freezer cabinets from you or your suppliers after production has been completed and transport them to the delivery site.

Warehouse logistics

We offer you the option of both centralised and decentralised storage for the interim storage of your refrigeration cabinets until they are delivered to your customers. Decentralised storage enables us to achieve particularly fast times for responding to the delivery areas and, in the event of a service call, we have ready access to replacement goods so that we can replace defective units the very next day.

Project delivery

We deliver your refrigeration cabinets directly to your food retail outlets. Depending on the quantity, we can also transport them as a complete load with our special vehicles, which are padded and air-suspended to protect your cooling units. In addition, the vehicles are equipped with safety elements and hydraulic lifting platforms. To ensure that the appliances are handled gently, our delivery teams also have special equipment at their disposal, including heavy-duty jacks and transport tools.

Assembly and installation

Due to the installed glass and sensitive surfaces, the handling of refrigeration cabinets requires experience, suitable equipment and a precise manner of working. Using the appropriate special tools, we set the correct size of the overhead freezer units, bolt them to the freezer cabinets and ensure that all the units are connected so that they are even with the ground and parallel to each other. Our specialists measure the floor and level out any uneven sections, anchor the cooling units to the wall or floor and check that the distances are consistent.

Commissioning

Once the installed refrigeration cabinets have been plugged in, we carry out a functional test. Within the scope of this test, we check whether the cooling appliances are functioning properly using a defined checklist. With the aid of photo documentation, which we transmit to you digitally as part of the acceptance report, you and your customers can be assured of successful installation.

Unit replacement and maintenance

Defective or worn freezer equipment can be returned and properly disposed of by us. In addition, our technicians can perform maintenance on your refrigeration cabinets, including the supply of spare parts, upon request. We also carry out repairs in our logistics centres.

Scalability

Our European network provides us with extensive capacities to adapt your projects quickly and flexibly to market needs. Even at peak times, we have sufficient staff and vehicles at our disposal.
We help you to place tenders in European countries where you have not yet established your own structures.

Project delivery on schedule

We are experts in carrying out wide-ranging projects on schedule. Even complex roll-outs of cooling lines, e.g. the fitting out of a high number of outlets per week for a customer in the food retail trade, are part of our day-to-day business.
We take the term ‘complete’ literally: We collect your refrigeration cabinets from the factory and take care of the entire process up to the acceptance of the installed cooling appliances by the branch manager.

Full service

Rhenus combines forwarding expertise with technical competence. We not only take care of the professional transport of sensitive refrigeration displays for you, but also ensure that they are installed professionally. We complete the installation within a period of approximately just six hours.
During a joint implementation phase, our employees receive customer-specific training and are optimally qualified for their work.
With us, you avoid interfaces, reduce costs and minimise the risk of failure.
