Flowers can brighten up anyone’s day, whether they’re a touching personal gift or part of a larger event. As a florist, you know how much your customers are looking forward to seeing their new flower arrangement, and it’s vital that they look as good when they arrive as they did when you first prepared them. Here at CoolVan, our fridge vans are a florist’s best friend, perfect for keeping flowers fresh and stunning in transit. 

Refrigeration keeps flowers looking their best

We understand how much pride you take in your work. You want your flowers to look perfect, to be a showstopping, memorable part of a celebration like a wedding, or serve as a fitting emotional tribute at a funeral. Using a fridge van is essential to keep your flowers fresh, impressing customers and encouraging them to use your services again. Transported at the perfect temperature, flowers stay vibrant, firm and full of life, so they can be appreciated in all their beauty for even longer. 

Use dual temperature vans to keep different kinds of flowers fresh

Different flowers require different temperatures. For example, cut flowers typically need a cooler climate than potted plants, while tropical flowers benefit from a warmer environment. In cases like this, our dual temperature vans are the perfect solution. You can set each compartment to a different temperature, ensuring that even a wide variety of plants are kept fresh in transit. 

Stay comfortable and busy while keeping your flowers fresh

Having a fridge van at your disposal can truly be a game-changer as a florist. It gives you extra flexibility so that you can avoid the tricky choice of turning down jobs because of the location. This enables you to expand your delivery area, knowing that an extensive road journey won’t affect the quality of your flowers. It can also be a massive help in warmer seasons when weddings are most popular, enabling you to transport large quantities of arrangements without worrying about the impact of the hot weather. 

But just because your flowers need to be chilled doesn’t mean you do! Here at CoolVan, we carefully design and expertly build all of our fridge vans, using both traditional methods and cutting-edge CAD and CNC technology. Our team bonds an insulating XPS board to plywood, fits it into the van, and seals it with fibreglass and resin. Finally, we apply a gel coat to create a durable, easy-to-clean finish. The result is a van where cargo temperatures won’t affect the cabin, keeping your driver comfortable while your flowers stay perfectly fresh.

We’ve been helping businesses to prioritise the safety and quality of their products in transit for 25 years now, from flowers to food and pharmaceutical goods. Our refrigerated vans are available in a range of sizes and fuel types from a number of leading manufacturers. They’re also competitively priced and built to last, so you can keep meeting customer expectations for a long time to come. If you’re looking to buy or lease a van for your business, don’t hesitate to give us a call on 0161 751 7140, or email us at [email protected] – our team will be happy to help!
