Common Refrigerated Truck Body Sizes and Types
We supply various types of CKD/SKD cold chain truck bodies, which cover many mainstream truck brands in the world today. We can produce boxes with lengths of 3 to 12 meters, usually in sizes of 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 meters, with load capacities ranging from 3 to 15 tons. Customization is available for special sizes and load capacities.
Small refrigerated truck
Medium-sized refrigerated truck
Pickup refrigerated truck
Semi-trailer
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.
Lightweight & High-strength
Carbody is committed to researching the lightweight and strength of refrigerated truck body. In order to reduce the burden and increase efficiency of refrigerated trucks, we have developed many new composite materials for application on the body. The application of new materials not only reduces the weight of the truck body, increases the impact strength, but also extends the service life of the truck box.
- First of all, our body skin material uses antibacterial, anti-UV, and scratch-resistant FRP sheets instead of metal skins (such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). We have also developed a new type of FRP – CFRT (Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic) as the skin material, which provides higher compressive and impact resistance.
- Secondly, we use non-water-absorbent rigid foam (PU/XPS). These foam core materials have stable performance, do not rot or deform, and will not produce any performance changes during the service life of the refrigerated truck.
- Thirdly, we use lightweight and high-viscosity environmentally friendly adhesives, and the panels will not delaminate (separate the core material and skin material) in the temperature range of -40~80°. And it has no peculiar smell and does not produce any harmful gases.
- Fourth, we design a series of lightweight and high-strength components. Our designers will design various profiles, sheet metal and other components according to customer needs.
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 panel is entirely 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/m3, 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.
Meet the Refrigeration Needs of Various Industries
Carbody refrigerated truck boxes are widely employed for transporting a diverse range of goods over long-distance, medium-distance, and short-distance routes. These goods comprise fresh meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, chocolate, bread, baked goods, as well as pharmaceutical products. Their versatility and reliability make them indispensable for maintaining optimal conditions during transit. It shortens the transportation time between cities and reduces logistics losses.
Basic Configuration of Reefer Truck Body
