Pharmaceuticals are among the most sensitive products to transport due to their strict temperature requirements, high value, and potential impact on public health. With decades of experience, Scanlon Freight offers reliable, compliant solutions for pharmaceutical logistics, ensuring these critical goods are delivered safely and efficiently. Here’s why temperature control is so important in pharmaceutical shipping and how Scanlon Freight’s expertise ensures every shipment meets the highest standards.
Why Temperature Control is Essential with Pharmaceutical Logistics
Many pharmaceutical products, from vaccines to biologics, are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Even slight deviations can lead to reduced efficacy or spoilage, resulting in financial losses and potential public health risks. Temperature-controlled logistics, therefore, play a crucial role in preserving product quality and compliance with regulatory standards.
Scanlon Freight’s Temperature-Controlled Solutions
Our team at Scanlon Freight provides specialised services designed for the complexities of pharmaceutical transport . Here are the key features we offer:
- Refrigerated and Frozen Options: We handle a range of temperature requirements, including 2-8°C for standard refrigerated products and -20°C for frozen items, ensuring pharmaceuticals remain within their optimal temperature range.
- Real-Time Monitoring and Tracking: Our ScanCloud portal offers clients visibility over their shipments with real-time temperature and location monitoring. This transparency means clients are alerted to any potential issues before they affect product integrity.

Pharmaceutical logistics are regulated by strict guidelines, including the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards, which govern the transport and storage of medicinal products. Scanlon Freight ensures compliance with GDP and other relevant regulations, managing all necessary documentation and customs requirements to streamline shipping and avoid delays.
