AHT UK is a leading supplier of commercial refrigeration solutions, supporting retail environments across the UK with high-quality, specialist equipment, and expert drivers.

When AHT UK required delivery into a busy shopping centre in Peterborough, the project called for a logistics partner capable of operating within a highly controlled and restricted urban environment.

Having worked with JODA Freight on previous projects, AHT UK trusted our team to deliver a solution that balanced efficiency, safety, and minimal disruption to on-site operations.

Delivering heavy commercial refrigeration equipment into a pedestrianised shopping centre presented several logistical considerations:

From the outset, JODA Freight approached the project with careful planning and close coordination.

Our team conducted a detailed site assessment and worked alongside shopping centre management to define the most suitable delivery window and access arrangements. Route planning was carried out to ensure safe navigation of the urban environment, taking into account vehicle size and site contraints.

The operation was supported by specialist equipment including an articulated vehicle and a Moffett truck-mounted forklift, allowing for precise and controlled unloading within a confined space. 

Throughout the delivery our experienced drivers followed strict safety protocols and maintained clear communication with site personnel, ensuring the operation was carried out efficiently and without complication.

The delivery was completed on schedule, with all equipment safely positioned and no disruption to shopping centre operations.

The combination of detailed planning, appropriate equipment, and experienced personnel ensured a smooth and controlled process from arrival to completion.

This project highlights JODA Freights ability to manage complex urban deliveries where precision, timing and safety are critical.

By understanding the specific requirements of each environment and maintaining clear communication throughout, we continue to support our clients in delivering essential equipment into even the most challenging locations.
