Insulated Truck Body FRP Panels

Best Insulated Truck Solutions

CARBODY has been manufacturing insulated truck bodies for over 20 years, producing bodies from 3.2m to 12m in length.Insulated trucks are also known as thermal truck bodies.Using modular panels, our insulated trucks are constructed using FRP panels with insulating foam. It can be used for light weight trucks to heavy duty trucks. Our insulated vans are widely used for thermal transport. It can be used for transporting food, medicine, flowers, industrial and other products.

  • High quality FRP XPS/PU foam panels + waterproof design
  • Full size customisation, kit option. CKD/SKD case delivery.
  • Light weight design. Structural stability, high speed stability

Insulated Trucks FRP Panels Insulation Properties

Why FRP panels are used in insulated trucks? FRP panels are used in insulated trucks, in fact, they are a kind of composite material, which consists of two sides of FRP sheet, and the sandwich layer is XPS or PU foam, which is also called ‘polyurethane’. Its low thermal conductivity makes the thermal insulation performance very excellent, his thermal conductivity is 0.018 ~ 0.028 W / (m-K), the density of 30-60km/m³.
At the same time has the advantage of lightweight, compared to traditional aluminium panels, as well as other foams. He can not only save fuel efficiency, while the internal temperature is more stable.

Advantage

Our FRP insulated truck can be used for food insulation transport, chocolate, fruit, vegetables and other heat sensitive products. Using XPS foam can insulate the heat well. Use steel skeleton as frame. Can be customised with rear doors and side panels, opposite or double doors, etc. Can be combined with IoT technology to achieve monitoring temperature and humidity. With good product quality and long service life, we have won good feedback in the market and have reached long-term relationships with customers in more than 30 countries. Here are the advantages of choosing us:

Body structure performance:

Insulated trucks use reinforced steel for the internal structure to support the entire body and improve impact resistance. Using FRP XPS foam panels for lightweight design and weight optimisation, and it can improve fuel efficiency. It will not shake in high speed, more stable and safe, using multi-layer waterproof protection, as well as using super glue to ensure the thermal insulation performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose between XPS and PU foam?

In the general application of refrigerated freezer truck, although the thermal insulation performance of PU is more excellent, but PU has the factor of water absorption, he will gradually become weaker in thermal insulation, XPS is a kind of foam that will not absorb water. So according to the actual use, more recommended XPS foam.

What is the best material for reefer body?

Insulated trucks using FRP panels are the best choice.
FRP panels are a high-strength skin material with a PU foam core in the sandwich layer, which has a much better thermal insulation effect, and at the same time, it hardly absorbs water and has a very long service life.
The use of FRP PU panels makes the body lighter and improves fuel efficiency and reduces costs.

What is an insulated truck?

Insulated trucks can be used for transporting heat sensitive products, they can be used without separate refrigeration equipment, but can keep the internal temperature cool and control the internal temperature in a very effective way, insulated trucks are also one of the types of cold chain transport.
Insulated trucks are generally constructed using FRP panels, with polyurethane foam to prevent heat transfer.
Insulated trucks can transport fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, meat and other products. It reduces the absorption of heat by these products. It protects the product from reaching its destination

Are semi-trailers considered light trucks?
