Exhibitors at Cold Chain Hub 2024, which is supported by the Road Haulage Association and which takes place at Birmingham’s NEC on 9 & 10 October, are preparing an exciting line-up of products and services to showcase to visitors.
First-time exhibitor, RIS GreenChill specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of bolt-on clean energy power packs for vans, trucks and trailers. Providing electric power to run refrigeration units and other ancillaries, the solutions are fridge-agnostic and cover a range of vehicle sizes, makes and models.
The solar-electric, solar-kinetic and fridge-battery systems can all be retrofitted, helping transport operators to accelerate their decarbonisation journey.
Pulleyn will be showcasing its temperature-controlled and specialist transportation services on its stand. Operating throughout the UK, Europe and beyond, the company not only serves the food sector but also handles pharmaceuticals and more unusual products, such as works of art and laboratory equipment.
Pulleyn, which also has extensive storage facilities at its site in Reading, is now part of CubeCold, a pan-European cold storage platform.
Construction company, Cold Clad will be showcasing its range of building envelope and fire wall systems on stand D34. The firm specialises in building temperature-controlled environments such as food manufacturing or preparation facilities, chilled or frozen stores and distribution centres, as well as LPCB-accredited, fire-rated structures.
Rack Collapse Prevention will be promoting its safety systems for warehouse pallet racking on stand P6. The patented solution prevents racking collapse by connecting the racking frames with suspension cables from the building’s steel superstructure. When this is not suitable, a secondary steel structure can be installed to support the cables instead. The system not only prevents racking collapse – thereby protecting workers from injury and inventory from damage – but also reduces insurance premiums.
CoolKit, the UK’s leading refrigerated van specialist, will return to Cold Chain Hub to showcase its extensive range of products and services. “We’re coming back because this event gives us a unique chance to connect directly with the key people in our industry,” says Cameron Javed, Head of Technical Sales. “It’s the perfect platform to showcase what we’ve been working on in the past 12 months.”
Visitors to stand G30 will discover CoolKit’s latest offerings, including in-house designed and manufactured van conversions, rigid insulated box bodies, conversion kits and a UK first: a groundbreaking refrigerated van conversion with innovative features.
Cold Chain Hub also welcomes new exhibitor, Asset Alliance Group – the UK’s leading provider of specialist asset finance – to stand D25 at the show. “We will be delighted to welcome commercial vehicle operators to our stand,” says Jordana O’Reilly, Head of Brand, “to find out more about our contract hire, operating lease, hire purchase and rental solutions for the temperature-controlled sector.” Asset Alliance Group is an award-winning, multi-location business with over 5,000 vehicles under management.
