Cargo examples include flowers, frozen and perishable foods, medicines, plasma, and art. Sometimes called “reefer trucks,” “refrigerated box trucks,” or “refrigerated sprinters,” these vehicles are available in gas and diesel models.

Cold Cargo

Refrigerated trucks are structurally similar to pantech trucks but are fitted with refrigeration units that equip them to transport perishable food and other goods that need to be kept at controlled temperatures. Truck refrigeration units often come with temperature management systems help to maintain exact temps or ranges of temps for specific perishable items. Some systems include sensors throughout the cargo box that monitor temperatures and can alert operators when temperatures are nearing preset thresholds so they can make adjustments as needed issue before their cargo is damaged. Modern refrigerated trucks also track and record ambient temperature data to comply with regulations and ensure products are delivered at the appropriate temperatures.

Transporting Chilled & Frozen Goods

New and used refrigerated trucks for sale on this site often feature multiple temperature control zones, so a single reefer truck can transport different types of refrigerated cargo. With either fixed-in-place partitions or a modular configuration, one refrigerated truck could transport ambient-temperature, refrigerated, and frozen items. Side- and back-doors on the refrigerated unit may also be available to provide quick access to the various temperature zones, reducing the potential disruption that can occur when doors are opened and closed.

Payload Capacity

Refrigerated trucks range from light-duty vans with 1.8- to 2.4-metre (6- to 8-foot) insulated cargo bays to medium- and heavy-duty trucks with refrigerated bodies up to 7.3 m (24 ft) long. The longest refrigerated trucks often offer a payload capacity above 10,000 kg (22,046 pounds). Modern reefer trucks are often constructed with lightweight materials for a lower overall vehicle weight, which in turn allows for increased payloads and greater efficiency per trip.
