What is “ATP certification” and why do I need it?
ATP certification is granted to businesses offering the highest quality conversions, and not just the fit and finish, but doing what they’re meant for… temperature-control. An ATP certified conversion is guaranteed to hold temperatures easier, and for longer. ATP is required for transporting perishable food goods across European borders, but even if you’re business stays closer to home, you can rest easy knowing that your vehicle is fit for purpose, and built to last.
Do you offer a warranty on the conversions?
Of course! We’re so confident in our conversions that we offer a 5-year warranty on all of our conversions as standard!
What about pre-converted vehicles, do you sell those too?
Yes! Our younger sibling, FridgeVans4U sources vehicles directly from the manufacturers, and we convert them in-house to suit your needs. With a wide range of new and used stock available, be sure to check them out HERE.
I’m not sure how best to organise my storage space, can you help?
Absolutely! Over the years we have worked with businesses from all industries to create some truly unique conversions, perfectly tailored to their needs. Check out our portfolio for some inspiration, and contact us when you’re ready. We’ll give you our best advice, and design something special for you.
How long do I have to wait for my conversion?
This will vary slightly throughout the year. The summer months are the most crucial for temperature-controlled vehicles and therefore our busiest time of the year, with the colder months being our quietest. You can expect a lead time of around 3 weeks at our quietest, and up to 8 weeks at our busiest. For a more accurate estimate, give us a call!
Is my vehicle insured while it is with you?
Yes, your vehicle will be fully insured while in our care, both waiting in our compound, and moving through the build process. If you’d like more information on this, feel free to give us a call!
Polar is a small family business, what does that mean for me?
Good question! Being a small family business, we can offer some unique advantages. Here are just a few:
- We don’t cater for “mega fleets”. No larger order will take your place, at Polar, EVERY build is a priority.
- We’re flexible with our build schedule, meaning we can better cater for your timescales.
- We’re not mass-producing kits, so every build is bespoke and crafted to suit your vehicle exactly.
- Van conversion is our bread and butter, and with over 60 years-experience among us, you could say we’re the experts.
