Temperature requirements
Supply written conditions when temperature control is required; equipment must be reviewed for suitability.
Industries
Food & beverage freight, with clear shipment conditions.
Plan packaged food and beverage transportation around handling instructions, temperature requirements where applicable and facility receiving windows. Review the cargo and equipment before booking.
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage shipments are not one handling category.
Shelf-stable packaged goods and products requiring temperature control need different planning inputs. Share the product type, written handling instructions and receiving conditions. Prisma Freight reviews transportation and warehouse coordination for the requested scope without assuming specialized certification or storage conditions.

Pallet stability
Confirm package protection and loaded pallet weight, including heavier beverage cases.
Receiving windows
Align appointments with loading readiness and destination acceptance requirements.
Storage handoffs

If a shipment will be unloaded, transferred or held between transportation legs, confirm that the proposed facility can meet the requested conditions before committing the movement. A warehousing service link is not a claim of food certification or refrigerated storage capability.
