Refrigerator Truck Body

The Refrigerator Truck Body by TS Brothers is our flagship product - a fully customizable refrigerated truck body engineered for medium and heavy-duty cold chain transport vehicles. Ranging from 4.2m light-duty truck bodies to 9.6m heavy-duty truck bodies, this product line covers the most common cold chain transport requirements across food, pharmaceutical, floral, and chemical industries.

As a specialized refrigerated truck body manufacturer with over 15 years of export experience, TS Brothers combines advanced panel manufacturing technology with deep expertise in cold chain logistics requirements. Every truck body is custom-built to the customer's specifications: chassis model, cargo dimensions, temperature range, door configuration, interior fittings, and refrigeration unit brand are all configurable to meet the exact needs of each operating scenario.

Our refrigerator truck bodies are deployed across 40+ countries, operating in environments ranging from -30°C winter routes in Central Asia to +45°C summer deliveries in the Middle East. This global operational experience informs our design decisions, ensuring that every truck body we manufacture can perform reliably in the world's most demanding cold chain environments.

Key Features & Advantages

1. Fully Customizable Design

Every truck body is engineered to order. Customers specify: chassis make and model, body length (4.2m–9.6m), width (up to 3m), height, panel thickness (60mm–120mm), core material (PU or XPS), door type and position, interior fittings (meat rails, E-track, shelving), floor type, refrigeration unit brand, and color. Our engineering team reviews each specification for compatibility and optimal performance before production begins.

2. ATP Class A Compliance

All refrigerator truck bodies are manufactured to meet ATP Class A standards for international perishable food transport. Panel thermal performance, door sealing efficiency, and overall body construction comply with the Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs. ATP certification testing is available for orders requiring official certification.

3. Universal Chassis Compatibility

Our truck bodies are compatible with all major truck chassis brands: Isuzu, Mitsubishi Fuso, Hino, Nissan UD, Ford, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, and Chinese brands (JAC, Foton, Dongfeng, Sinotruk, Shacman). We engineer the subframe, mounting points, and wheel arch cutouts to match each chassis model precisely, ensuring proper weight distribution and structural integrity.

4. Comprehensive Interior Options

Beyond the basic refrigerated box, we offer a full range of interior fittings: meat rails and hooks for carcass transport, E-track and load bars for cargo securing, adjustable shelving for multi-tier delivery, partition walls for dual-temperature zones, stainless steel interior for chemical transport, and curbside delivery doors for multi-stop routes.

5. 15-Year Service Life with Quality Guarantee

Our truck bodies are engineered for a 15-year operational lifespan. We use only high-grade materials: FRP skins from established suppliers, PU foam from reputable chemical manufacturers, 304 stainless steel hardware, and EPDM sealing strips rated for 10+ years of UV exposure. A 12-month quality warranty from Bill of Lading date covers manufacturing defects.

6. CBU and CKD Export Options

We offer both CBU (Completely Built Unit) for ready-to-mount truck bodies and CKD (Completely Knocked Down) kits for cost-effective bulk shipping. CBU units are ideal for single-vehicle orders or when local assembly capability is limited. CKD kits save 60–70% on shipping costs for fleet orders of 5+ units. Learn about CKD kits →

Technical Specifications

Applications

Fresh Food Distribution

Supermarket chains, food service distributors, and fresh food logistics companies use our refrigerator truck bodies for daily distribution of fresh produce, dairy, meat, seafood, and bakery products. The configurable interior supports mixed-load deliveries with shelving, hanging meat rails, and separated temperature zones.

Frozen Food Transport

For frozen food manufacturers and distributors, we configure truck bodies with 105mm+ panels and high-capacity refrigeration units to maintain -18°C throughout delivery routes. Optional dual-temperature configurations allow simultaneous frozen and chilled delivery in a single vehicle.

Pharmaceutical Cold Chain

Pharmaceutical distributors, vaccine transport services, and medical logistics providers rely on our truck bodies for temperature-controlled transport of vaccines, biologics, blood products, and other temperature-sensitive medical products. Data logger integration ports and temperature monitoring system compatibility are available.

Agricultural Product Transport

From farm-to-market fresh produce transport to flower distribution, our truck bodies provide the temperature stability and humidity control needed to preserve product quality and extend shelf life. The food-grade FRP interior surface meets HACCP requirements for food transport vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q:How do I specify the right truck body for my chassis?

A:Provide us with: (1) Chassis make, model, and year; (2) Wheelbase and bed/cargo area dimensions; (3) Gross vehicle weight rating; (4) Your desired body length, width, and height; (5) Required temperature range; (6) Door and interior fitting requirements. Our engineering team will review the specifications, confirm compatibility, and provide a detailed technical drawing for your approval before production begins.

Q:What is the difference between your refrigerator truck body and a complete reefer truck?

A:A refrigerator truck body is the insulated cargo box that mounts onto a truck chassis - it does not include the chassis or cab. A complete reefer truck includes the chassis, cab, and refrigerated body as an integrated vehicle. TS Brothers manufactures both: the truck body (for customers who already have a chassis) and complete reefer trucks (for customers who need the full vehicle). See our complete reefer truck →

Q:Can you install the refrigeration unit before shipping?

A:Yes. For CBU orders, we can install and test the refrigeration unit (Thermo King, Carrier, Supersnow, or Guchen) before shipping. The unit is mounted, wired, charged with refrigerant, and performance-tested at our facility. For CKD orders, the refrigeration unit is included in the kit for local installation, with installation instructions provided.

Q:What is the production lead time for a custom refrigerator truck body?

A:Standard configurations (4.2m–7.5m, CBU): 15–20 working days. Larger bodies (8m–9.6m, CBU): 20–25 working days. CKD kits: 10–15 working days. Custom configurations with non-standard features may require an additional 5–7 working days for engineering and special material procurement. Production begins after drawing approval and deposit receipt.

Q:Do you provide after-sales support and spare parts?

A:Yes. We provide: (1) 12-month warranty from Bill of Lading date; (2) After-sales support via WhatsApp, email, and video call; (3) Spare parts supply for door hardware, sealing strips, lighting, and panel repair; (4) Refrigeration unit warranty and service through the unit manufacturer's authorized network; (5) Technical guidance for maintenance and repairs. Response time for after-sales inquiries: within 24 hours.
