Emergency Refrigerated Transport
A walk-in fridge fails, a delivery vehicle breaks down mid-route, or stock needs somewhere cold in the next hour — emergency dispatch is built for exactly that, with priority routing over standard bookings.

- Overview
What counts as a cold-chain emergency
Emergency dispatch is for cargo that’s already cold and now has nowhere to stay that way — not for planning ahead, but for reacting fast when something breaks.
A standard daily booking, even a same-day one, assumes you called with some notice and can wait for the next available slot. Emergency dispatch skips that queue: the nearest suitable vehicle is redirected to you first, with pre-cooling started the moment the call comes in.
If your need is recurring off-hours coverage rather than a one-off crisis — a regular 3am pickup, for instance — 24/7 transport is the better fit and doesn’t carry the emergency premium.

- Common Scenarios
When clients call emergency dispatch
Walk-in fridge or freezer failure
Stock needs a cold home fast while the unit is repaired — often within the hour.
Delivery vehicle breakdown mid-route
Your own refrigerated vehicle fails with cargo still aboard — we transfer the load and continue the route.
Urgent pharma or medical shipment
A cold-chain sample or medication that can't wait for the next scheduled slot.
Sudden order or demand spike
A last-minute large order that exceeds your usual planned capacity.
- Pricing
Matching the vehicle to the shipment
Emergency dispatch runs from around AED 350 per day, a modest premium over the standard daily rate. That premium reflects priority routing — redirecting a vehicle that may already be pre-cooled for another job, and compressing our usual dispatch timeline to respond within the hour.
The price is confirmed on the call before the vehicle is dispatched, not added afterward. For the full rate card across every vehicle type, see our price list.

What healthcare clients say
"Temperature logs on every trip made our internal audit painless. That level of documentation is rare from a rental fleet, and it's the reason we moved our whole distribution schedule to SmartLink."

"Our florist chain moves stock before 6am daily. The chiller van is always pre-cooled and on time — no wilted deliveries since we switched."

- FAQ
Emergency dispatch questions
How fast can you get a vehicle to me?
In most cases within the hour, depending on your location and the nearest available vehicle. Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi typically see the fastest response.
Can you help if my own delivery van breaks down with cargo inside?
Yes — this is one of our most common emergency calls. We dispatch a vehicle to your breakdown location, transfer the cargo, and continue the route.
Is emergency dispatch available outside Dubai?
Yes, all seven emirates are covered, though response time can be longer in more remote areas like the Western Region or Fujairah.
Do I need to be a corporate account to use emergency dispatch?
No — emergency dispatch is available to first-time callers as well as existing accounts, though corporate accounts skip the deposit step.
What if I need ongoing off-hours coverage instead of a one-off emergency?
That’s 24/7 transport — a recurring, scheduled service at the standard rate, without the emergency premium.
