Air Conditioning Retrofitting for Animal Welfare Vehicles
Ensuring Comfort and Safety for Our Four-Legged Friends
At Alpinair, we understand that the welfare of animals during transport is paramount. Extreme temperatures, whether too hot or too cold, can cause significant stress, health issues, and even pose a risk to animal lives. That’s why we specialise in designing and installing bespoke, high-performance air conditioning and climate control systems for all types of animal welfare vehicles.
With over 53 years of expertise in vehicle climate control, Alpinair is uniquely positioned to offer professional aircon retrofitting services that transform standard vans, cages, transporters, and emergency vehicles into safe, comfortable, and controlled environments for animals in transit.
Why is Dedicated Climate Control Crucial for Animal Welfare Vehicles?
- Temperature Regulation: Protects animals from heatstroke in summer and hypothermia in winter.
- Stress Reduction: A comfortable environment minimises anxiety during transport, essential for injured or rescued animals.
- Air Quality: Proper ventilation and filtration can reduce odours and airborne irritants.
- Compliance: Helps meet animal transport regulations and best practice guidelines.
- Crew Comfort: A well-regulated cabin also benefits the dedicated professionals transporting the animals.
