If you're thinking about buying a refrigerated truck, keep these things in mind and you will find the right truck for your business.
1.Choose a reliable chassis
When buying a refrigerated truck, the chassis is the primary consideration. You need to consider the body structure and carrying capacity, fuel saving, and emission standards according to your driving environment and cargo tonnage.
Compared with the choice of ordinary truck chassis, refrigerated trucks also need to focus on the stability of the chassis. The goods transported by refrigerated trucks usually have perishable goods with special temperature requirements. Although there are refrigeration equipment, you still need to be delivered to the destination as soon as possible.
2. Choose a insulated box with high strength, light weight and good heat preservation
The refrigerated cargo compartment needs to integrate heat preservation, airtightness, and water resistance. In addition, the weight should be the lightest while the heat preservation effect is unchanged.
secondly, the thickness of the car body also determines the insulation effect. The thicker the cargo compartment insulation layer, the better the insulation effect. However, as the thickness of the cargo compartment increases, the load capacity of the cargo will decrease accordingly. Users can choose the thickness according to their needs.
In addition, different goods have different requirements for the refrigerated compartment. For example, a refrigerated truck that pulls fresh meat needs to install guide rails and hooks on the compartment, so reinforcements should be embedded in the truck body structure to ensure the firmness of the compartment. performance.
3.choose s suitable refrigeration units
Direct drive refrigeration unit: Directly attached to the vehicle’s engine, a direct drive refrigeration unit only runs when your van or truck does, so if you turn off the transmission, it stops cooling. Direct drive refrigeration unit are typically found on vehicles with less storage space, they can be a good option if you’re making deliveries to a relatively small area.

Electric refrigeration unit: these refrigeration units have batteries (or electrical standby technology) that power the refrigerated unit for a short period of time, so you don’t have to leave your truck idling while offloading goods, helping you save fuel.

Stand-alone diesel-powered refrigeration unit: Equipped with a separate power source for the chiller, these units run on diesel and keep things cool even when the vehicle isn’t running, so you don’t have to worry about anything melting if you need a break from driving. They usually have a larger carrying capacity and can be easily mounted on trailers, so they are often seen on big box trucks that make long haul journeys.
