Temperature-controlled last-mile logistics operations specific to South Africa’s Gauteng province, facing unique challenges from high altitude (1,750m elevation reducing refrigeration capacity 21%), urban heat island effects in Johannesburg and Pretoria, extreme temperature variations between winter and summer, and complex addressing in security estates and informal settlements. Gauteng represents South Africa’s largest frozen food market by population and economic activity, but altitude and urban conditions create refrigeration challenges systematically ignored by equipment suppliers providing sea-level specifications. Professional Gauteng frozen delivery requires engineering-based equipment sizing with altitude correction, oversized refrigeration capacity for urban thermal loads, and operational protocols accounting for multi-stop thermal stress. The Frozen Food Courier specializes in Gauteng operations, applying thermodynamic analysis and operational experience from 770,000+ km to overcome challenges other courier services either ignore or fail to understand.
