Fresh and Cool rents chiller trucks to businesses across the UAE that move chilled stock by the pallet. Dairy, fresh produce, chilled meat, beverages and pharmaceutical stock, carried between cold stores, distribution centres and retail outlets.
Four sizes are available for hire, from a 3-ton for single-store restocks up to a 10-ton for contract runs. Which one you need comes down to your pallet count, and below we set out what each size holds and what it costs, so you can match the truck to the load rather than pay for capacity you will not use.
Fridge truck rental runs on daily, weekly and monthly terms from AED 350 per day, with a professional driver included in the rate. Dispatch is same-day from our Sharjah yard.
Send us your pallet count and route, and we’ll confirm the right tonnage and a fixed rate before you commit.
Tonnage is decided by pallet count rather than weight in most chilled work. Here is what each size holds, and what it costs to run.
Cost per pallet falls steeply as tonnage rises. At AED 350 for five pallets, a 3-ton works out near AED 70 per pallet per day. A 10-ton at AED 550 for seventeen pallets comes to roughly AED 32 — less than half.
So the larger truck is only more expensive if you cannot fill it. If your load genuinely occupies the space, moving up a tier lowers your delivered cost per unit rather than raising it.
All four sizes run the same +2°C to +5°C chilled truck hire specification, the same insulation and the same food-grade interior. They differ in capacity, cargo volume, loading access and rate.

Daily chiller truck rates from 3 to 10 tons are set out below, per vehicle, with a professional driver included in every figure. Weekly and monthly terms bring the effective daily cost down substantially.
Tonnage | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |
3 ton | AED 350 | AED 1,700 | AED 5,500 |
5 ton | AED 400 | AED 1,950 | AED 6,200 |

10 ton | AED 550 | AED 2,500 | AED 8,500 |
Chiller truck monthly rental is priced per vehicle. Multi-truck fleets and fixed-route contracts are quoted individually.
Included in every rate: the vehicle · a professional driver · pre-cooling to your setpoint before dispatch · digital temperature logging · HACCP documentation on request
Charged separately: 5% VAT · fuel · Salik tolls · mileage beyond 250 km per day, at AED 0.50 per kilometre
Terms: minimum hire one day, based on a 10-hour shift · AED 1,500 security deposit, waived for corporate accounts
Published UAE rates for a 10-ton chiller truck for rent with a driver run to around AED 900 per day. Ours is AED 550.
On monthly contracts the gap is wider still. A 3-ton chiller truck for rent on a monthly rate elsewhere in this market reaches AED 8,500. Ours is AED 5,500 — a difference of AED 3,000 a month, per truck.
Palletised chilled cargo behaves differently from loose boxed loads. Pallet spacing, stacking and restraint matter as much as the setpoint:
Matching cargo to capacity affects cost as much as safety. High-density beverage pallets load efficiently into the 7-ton and 10-ton trucks, where weight fills the vehicle before volume does. Lighter bakery and fresh produce runs suit the 3-ton and 5-ton, where volume is the limiting factor.
A chiller truck with tail lift rental is not an upgrade, it is a site requirement — and it depends entirely on what you are loading from.
Dock-level loading. Standard warehouse docks align with our 7-ton and 10-ton trucks, so hand jacks and forklifts roll straight into the cargo bay. Pallet transfer is fast and nothing has to be lifted. If both your collection and delivery points have docks, these are the trucks to take.
Ground-level sites. Street-level stores, strip malls and event venues have no raised bay. A full chilled pallet cannot be moved down from bed height by hand, so the truck itself has to do the lifting.
Tail lifts. Our 3-ton and 5-ton trucks carry built-in 1,000 kg hydraulic tail lifts at no extra charge, letting a driver lower a full pallet to ground level and move it with a hand pallet jack. The 7-ton and 10-ton trucks do not carry them — that weight is given over to payload instead, so they need a dock or an on-site forklift.
HACCP certified. Every truck in the fleet, not a certified subset. Vehicles undergo hazard analysis audits, which means your own food safety compliance stays intact through the transport leg rather than breaking at the point the cargo leaves your building.
Sharjah Municipality Food Transport Permit. Issued through the Public Health Department and carried on every vehicle, authorising legal food distribution across the emirate. Delivery points that check permits at the gate will accept our trucks without a call back to your office.
SEDD commercial licensing. Licensed by the Sharjah Economic Development Department specifically for temperature-controlled freight, not general transport with a cooling unit added.
Digital temperature records. Probes log cargo bay temperature every 5 to 10 minutes across the journey, producing a verified PDF audit trail available at handover — the record a pharmaceutical or retail audit asks for.
Certified drivers. Drivers hold Sharjah Food Safety Program certification and work to set protocols for door discipline and temperature verification at load and handover.
Operating since 2010, owner-operated across sixteen years and supported by 22 in-house refrigeration technicians — fridge truck rental UAE-wide from a fleet maintained in our own workshop.
Driver included as standard. Every rate covers an experienced driver, so when you rent a chiller truck with a driver you carry no employment liability and no route risk. Drivers run these corridors daily and know the dock procedures at the major industrial zones.
Self-drive and licence class. Self-drive is available on 3-ton and 5-ton trucks for holders of a valid UAE Category 5 medium truck licence. The 7-ton and 10-ton require a Category 4 heavy truck licence and are supplied with our drivers only — not a commercial preference, a legal requirement.
Pre-cooling before dispatch. Every truck is chilled to your specified setpoint before it leaves the yard, so the bay is thermally stable the moment loading starts rather than pulling down around your cargo.
Replacement if a unit fails. A mechanical or refrigeration fault triggers a replacement from our standby fleet, dispatched without waiting for a repair assessment.
Same-day dispatch. Same-day bookings leave within two hours of confirmation. With 24 chiller trucks across four tonnages, availability rarely depends on a vehicle finishing its run.
A 3-ton holds 4 to 6 Euro-pallets at 120 × 80 cm, a 5-ton fits 8 to 10, a 7-ton takes 12 to 14, and a 10-ton carries up to 18. Pallet count, rather than weight, usually decides which tier suits your load.
A 3-ton or 5-ton requires a valid UAE Category 5 medium truck licence for self-drive. The 7-ton and 10-ton require a Category 4 heavy truck licence and are supplied with our own drivers, so self-drive is not available on those two sizes.
Yes. The 3-ton and 5-ton carry integrated 1,000 kg hydraulic tail lifts, so a driver can lower a full pallet to ground level and move it with a hand pallet jack. Book one of those two sizes for street-level stores and venues.
Yes. Digital thermograph logging records cargo bay temperature at 5 to 10 minute intervals throughout transit. Drivers can supply a printout or a PDF log at handover, which is what a retail or pharmaceutical audit will ask to see.
Usually one larger truck. Two 5-ton trucks cost AED 800 a day against AED 550 for a single 10-ton carrying a similar pallet count — a saving of AED 250, plus one driver, one fuel bill and one Salik account instead of two.
Three to five business days. That allows for vehicle staging, pre-cooling checks, driver assignment and permit verification against your specific routes before the contract starts running.
If your shipment is under 3 tons or consists of loose boxes rather than pallets, a chiller van is the more cost-effective option.
Book a chiller truck for a single delivery run, a week of restocks, or a fixed monthly route. Tell us the dates and what you are moving, and we will confirm the truck and a fixed rate before you commit. Chiller truck rental from AED 350 per day with a driver included, dispatched same-day across Sharjah, Ajman and the Emirates.
