Temperature-controlled road freight · Austria

Cold chain that
never breaks.

M. Hannak Ges.m.b.H. moves chilled, frozen and ambient goods out of Upper Austria into the whole of Austria and its neighbours. Every trailer is dual-zone, every unit is logged, and every deviation is on your desk before the truck reaches the ramp.

Temperature ranges we run

Dual-compartment trailers let one vehicle serve two of these at once.

Our reefers do not run home empty. Dry pallets, beverages, packaging and non-food consumer goods travel on the return leg at a rate that reflects the fact that the truck is going that way anyway.

  • From 3 to 33 pallets, part loads welcome
  • Loading metre pricing with no minimum contract
  • Same tracking and proof of delivery as any other shipment

Quality

Evidence, not assurances

A cold chain is only as good as its documentation. Everything below can be produced for an audit at short notice.

IFS Logistics certified

The whole food operation is audited annually against the IFS Logistics standard, covering hygiene, traceability, product protection and staff training.

Continuous data logging

Every compartment records at one-minute intervals. Records are stored for five years and released to the customer within an hour of any request.

Alarm escalation

A deviation triggers an alert to the driver and to dispatch simultaneously. If it is not resolved in fifteen minutes, your contact is telephoned.

HACCP-trained drivers

Hygiene, loading discipline and product handling are trained on intake and refreshed annually. Training records are on file per employee.

Annual mapping

Each temperature-controlled body is mapped with a multi-point study, including a door-opening and a hot-day scenario, and re-qualified after any repair.

Insurance above CMR

Carrier liability to the CMR limit as standard, with all-risk product cover arranged per shipment for high-value or temperature-critical loads.

Fleet

What is parked in Schlatt

All units are Euro 6, fitted with two-stage refrigeration machines and tracked live. Average age is under four years.
