How to do it
Use insulated boxes that can vent. Gas pressure will burst a sealed box.
Put dry ice above the load, wrapped in paper, and fill the empty space.
Keep a window open or the vents running in any vehicle cabin that shares air with the load.
Tell the receiver there is dry ice inside so they open it in the open air with gloves on.
How much to order
Plan about 5 kg per 50-litre box per 24 hours and 8 kg per 100-litre box, plus a quarter extra for hill routes and summer. For regular lanes, ask us for a bulk rate.
Before you use itDo not carry large quantities in a closed car or a sealed truck cabin. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and settles where people sit and sleep.
