Many companies overlook key factors such as temperature accuracy, insulation quality, and the age of the cooling unit, which directly affects product safety in the UAE heat. Other common issues include choosing vans without GPS tracking, ignoring maintenance history, or renting from providers with poor hygiene standards.
