Transporting perishable goods like meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruits requires specialized truck bodies designed to maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity levels to ensure freshness and safety.
Main Features
- Insulation Materials: High-quality PU or XPS insulating foam sandwich panels are used.
- Refrigeration Units: Equipped with a reliable refrigeration system capable of maintaining the temperature of frozen goods at -20°F (-29°C) or refrigerated goods at 32°F (0°C).
- Accessories: Durable materials such as aluminum or stainless steel are used to withstand harsh conditions.
- Doors: Sealed doors with rubber gaskets ensure minimal temperature loss during loading and unloading. A variety of door options are available, including side doors for easy entry and exit.
- Floors: Anti-slip aluminum floors or aluminum duct floors are used, which are easy to clean and can withstand heavy loads.
TOPOLO – CKD/SKD Refrigerated Box Manufacturer
CKD (Completely Knocked Down) and SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) refrigerated boxes refer to modular kits of refrigerated units that can be assembled at the destination. These kits can save a lot of manufacturing costs for refrigerated truck manufacturers, wholesalers, modification factories, and repair shops.
Description
TOPOLO – The Expert in Box Truck Bodies
As a professional refrigerated truck Bodies truck body expert, TOPOLO has many years of industry experience. We provide design and manufacturing services for box truck manufacturers, dealers, modification factories, DIY enthusiasts, etc. We provide various truck bodies in the form of CKD (Completely Knock Down)，SKD (Semi Knocked Down) ，CBU (Semi Knocked Down).
Modular Design, Quick Assembly
Our refrigerated truck bodies are made from one-piece composite panels. These composite panels can be assembled quickly using simple tools and accessories (such as screws, glue, sealing strips, and screw guns) while maintaining the high strength and structural stability of the box. Compared with the traditional welding assembly method, this method is extremely efficient and simple, even if your operator is not a professional welder, it can be competent, which significantly reduces the complexity of the assembly operation and improves safety. Generally, it only takes 2 to 3 operators about half a day to assemble a refrigerated box. High-efficiency output greatly reduces the cost of vehicle manufacturers.
