Applications
We Provide Professional Solutions – Quick Assembly
The Carbody reefer truck body is made of one-piece composite panels. These composite panels can be quickly assembled using simple tools and accessories (such as screws, glue, sealing strips, screw guns). Compared with the traditional welding assembly method, this method is extremely efficient. Greatly reduces operational complexity and increases safety. Usually, 2 to 3 operators can assemble a box in half a day. High-efficiency output greatly reduces costs for vehicle manufacturers.
We design a variety of refrigerated truck body panel solutions for our customers.
Ordinary Foam Sandwich Panel
- It is a typical sandwich structure, especially suitable for small or mini-type refrigerated trucks, which is an economical and suitable choice.
Waterproof plywood Timber Frame Sandwich Panel
- Waterproof plywood is used as the frame structure of the sandwich panel, which not only maintains the lightness of the wood but also overcomes the problem of it being easily rotted when exposed to water, and provides sufficient strength support between the boards. In addition, the excellent nail-holding strength of wood also facilitates the installation of other accessories.
Continuous pultruded fiberglass frame sandwich panels
- Sandwich panels that use high-strength continuous pultruded fiberglass materials as the frame structure are much stronger than sandwich panels with wooden structures. Moreover, fiberglass components are lightweight, high-strength, high-temperature resistant, and non-deformable, with a normal service life of 20 to 30 years.
Recessed E-Track Sandwich Panel
- It is developed based on the continuous pultruded fiberglass frame structure sandwich panel, with E-track installed inside the sandwich panel. This advanced design method not only makes the surface of the side panels of the refrigerated truck smooth, reducing the risk of damage to the cargo and the E-track system itself, but also increases the space inside the box and enhances the quality of the vehicle.
Thermal Insulation Design
The interior of the box truck panel is filled with insulating foam core materials with low thermal conductivity, and without any cavities, which can effectively reduce heat radiation. We ensure that the thickness of the entire insulation layer is not less than 80mm, the foaming density can reach 50kg/㎡, and the total heat transfer coefficient K value is ≤0.08W/m2.K.
The entire box adopts a broken bridge design to block heat transfer: patented insulated FRP profiles are used at the joints to increase strength and reduce heat transfer, and all door positions are connected using a broken bridge structure. The cold air in the box flows evenly along the wall panels, floors, and ceilings, so that the front, back, top, and floor of the box are kept in the same temperature zone, ensuring that the goods are in a stable low-temperature environment. Improve the efficiency of refrigeration units, reduce power consumption and extend refrigeration time.

FAQ
What are the benefits of using FRP and CFRT panels for refrigerated truck bodies?
It is a very smart choice to enhance the performance of refrigerated trucks by using or replacing our FRP or CFRT panels.
Our body plastic panels can reduce the weight of the whole truck, and our panels are better than metal skins (e.g. galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). Our FRP & CFRT panels have better impact resistance, and better thermal insulation, and are UV resistant, non-perishable, and not easily deformed. Our panels do not absorb water because of the use of PU and XPS foam and do not delaminate at -40°~80° (separate the core material and skin material).
Our new plastic panels can improve the efficiency of refrigerated trucks, and we provide a complete service chain, we also provide a variety of foam materials to choose from, depending on your type of truck, region, and application.
What are the factors to consider when buying a refrigerated body?
Buying a refrigerated body is not an easy task for us. There are a lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration, such as the panel material of the refrigerated body, the insulating capacity, the goods to be transported, the region you are working in, the daily temperature and humidity, the model of the vehicle, the fuel efficiency, the budget, and the above are the things that need to be taken into consideration.
But you don’t need to worry, we have professional refrigerated body experts who can solve these problems for you, click to contact our experts.
What is the most suitable panel material for a refrigerated body?
In a word, the most suitable material to be used as refrigerated truck body panels is FRP panels, the outer layer is made of fiberglass, which can be waterproof, UV-proof, pollution-proof, impact-resistant, and high-strength advantages. The inner layer is made of XPS (extruded polystyrene) or PU (polyurethane) insulation foam core material with high strength, impact resistance, and excellent thermal insulation performance, which are closed cell rigid, low thermal conductivity insulating foams. The FRP and the foams are bonded by low-temperature-resistant glue.
How to choose between XPS foam and PU foam?
Refrigerated truck bodies using both XPS foam and PU foam can bring excellent refrigerated performance and won’t let you down, so how do we choose them as our real choice?
Difference between XPS foam and PU foam:
The thermal insulation of PU foam is 0.022W/M2.K , the thermal insulation of XPS is 0.029W/M2.K
The temperature resistance of PU foam is up to 120 degrees Celsius, and the temperature resistance of XPS foam reaches 95 degrees Celsius. In terms of pressure resistance: PU is 150Mpa, and XPS is 200Mpa.
The most important thing is that they are both flame-retardant materials, so they are both materials with the best performance in the selection process. If you need better thermal insulation performance, choosing PU foam is a good choice. If there is not much need for thermal insulation performance, you can choose XPS foam.
What is CKD in manufacturing?
In manufacturing, CKD means complete knock-down, which is a set of parts of a product that is completely unassembled, and this is a unit of measurement and a way of pricing that has the advantage of being easy to ship. Some products are very bulky when assembled and can consume huge amounts of freight and space, as well as cause greater waste of labor costs.
With our refrigerated bodies or trailers, the use of CKD greatly reduces space and freight costs, and facilitates assembly.
