Vehicles for Pharmaceutical
Transport –
Everything You Need to Know
Transporting pharmaceuticals is a highly demanding field of logistics. Companies like Arra Group, specialising in the transportation of pharmaceuticals across Poland and Europe, must meet stringent standards and use specialised solutions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of deliveries. In this article, we will explore what makes vehicles for pharmaceutical transport unique.
Why is Pharmaceutical Transport Unique?
Pharmaceutical transport requires precision and responsibility because these products are often sensitive to temperature and other environmental conditions. Even the slightest deviations from the norm can lead to the loss of therapeutic properties of the transported medicines. Additionally, many pharmaceuticals have a short shelf life, placing additional demands on transport companies, which must deliver these products on time and in perfect condition.
Types of Vehicles Used by Arra Group
Arra Group uses two main types of vehicles for pharmaceutical transport:
- VAN – Small, manueuvrable vehicles ideal for city deliveries and smaller loads up to 7 Euro-pallets. VAN-type vehicles are equipped not only with appropriate refrigerated bodies but also with cooling units and advanced temperature control systems. Each vehicle also has a bulkhead that allows for maintaining two temperature ranges
- FTL (Full Truck Load) – Large trucks used for transporting larger quantities of pharmaceuticals over long distances. Like vans, they are equipped with refrigerated bodies, cooling units and the latest technologies that allow for precise monitoring of transport conditions, ensuring constant temperature and humidity throughout the trasnport. They are double deck vehicles, which allows for the transport of up to 66 euro pallets.
Specialised Vehicle Equipment
Vehicles for pharmaceutical transport must be properly equipped to ensure stable transport conditions. Key elements include:
- Temperature Control Systems – Devices that monitor and maintain a constant temperature inside the vehicle. These systems are crucial for ensuring that medicines are transported under conditions that comply with manufacturers' requirements.
- Refrigerated Bodies – Prevent sudden temperature changes. This protects medicines from external factors such as weather changes.
- Alarms and Sensors – Alert the driver to any issues with maintaining appropriate conditions. In the event of a cooling system failure, the driver can quickly react and take appropriate steps to prevent damage to the cargo.
Safety Procedures and Standards
Pharmaceutical transport is conducted in accordance with stringent legal regulations and industry standards, such as Good Distribution Practices (GDP). Arra Group ensures regular staff training so that every employee knows and follows the applicable procedures. In addition, the company’s use of TAPA safety procedures ensures that medicines are transported in accordance with the highest safety and quality standards, which is essential for maintaining their efficacy.
Monitoring and Tracking Shipments
One of the key aspects of pharmaceutical transport is the ability to track shipments in real-time. Arra Group uses advanced GPS systems that allow monitoring the location and status of the shipment at every stage of transport. This ensures that clients can be confident that their products are safe, and the company can quickly respond to any unforeseen circumstances.
