Spot Hire - Ready when you need it.

Flexible. Reliable. Ready When You Need Us: Spot Hiring Temperature Controlled Trailers with Cadwallader

In logistics, timing is everything, and sometimes your business needs that extra bit of flexibility to meet demand, cover a breakdown or take on new work at short notice. That’s exactly where Cadwallader’s spot hire service for temperature controlled trailers comes in.

What is Spot Hire (and Why It Makes Life Easier)?

Put simply, spot hire means you can hire one of our temperature controlled trailers for as long (or as little) as you need, without any long-term commitment. Whether it’s a busy season, a one-off job, or you need a quick solution while your own trailer is off the road, we’re here to help keep things moving.

It’s flexible, straightforward, and designed to fit around the ups and downs of running a busy operation.

Why Temperature Controlled Spot Hire?

When you’re moving chilled, frozen or ambient goods, there’s no room for error. Temperatures need to stay exactly where they should be, and the equipment needs to be reliable every mile of the journey.

By spot hiring from Cadwallader, you can:

• Respond Quickly to Extra Demand

Seasonal peaks? New contracts? Sudden surges in orders? No problem — we’ve got trailers ready to go.

• Avoid Disruption

If one of your own units goes down, spot hire keeps your deliveries running smoothly.

• Stay Flexible

No long-term contracts. No unnecessary costs. Just hire what you need, when you need it.

Pharmaceutical Logistics: The Backbone of a Reliable Supply Chain

The pharmaceutical industry relies on precision, compliance, and efficiency to ensure life-saving medicines and healthcare products reach those who need them. In such a highly regulated sector, logistics plays a critical role—from temperature-controlled storage to secure, timely deliveries. At Cadwallader, we specialise in providing trusted logistics solutions for pharmaceutical companies, ensuring their products are transported safely and efficiently.

The Challenges of Pharmaceutical Logistics

Pharmaceutical logistics is unlike any other sector. The products being transported often have strict handling requirements, including temperature sensitivity, short shelf lives, and security concerns. Here are some key challenges:

1. Temperature-Controlled Transport

Many pharmaceuticals, including vaccines, biologics, and certain medications, require strict temperature control to maintain their efficacy. A slight variation can render a product ineffective or even unsafe. Cadwallader offers specialised temperature-controlled logistics solutions, ensuring pharmaceuticals are transported under optimal conditions.

2. Regulatory Compliance

Pharmaceutical transport is subject to Good Distribution Practice (GDP) regulations and strict industry standards. Compliance with these regulations is essential to prevent contamination, ensure proper handling, and maintain the integrity of medicines. At Cadwallader, we ensure that all transport and storage methods meet UK and EU regulatory requirements, giving pharmaceutical companies complete peace of mind.

3. Security & Risk Management

Pharmaceutical products are often high-value and targeted for theft or fraud. Securing the supply chain is a top priority. Cadwallader implements robust security measures, including:

✅ Real-time tracking for full shipment visibility

✅ Tamper-proof packaging and secure storage

✅ Strict handling procedures to prevent loss or contamination

4. Supply Chain Efficiency

The pharmaceutical industry operates in a time-sensitive environment. Late deliveries can impact patient care and disrupt supply chains. Cadwallader’s efficient transport network ensures that medicines and healthcare supplies are delivered on time, every time.
