CKD Refrigerated Trucks

Home » Truck & Trailer Solutions » Box Truck Bodies

CKD (Completely Knocked Down) refrigerated trucks are vehicles that are shipped in batches and assembled at the destination. This method is often used to save on shipping costs, tariffs, or to facilitate assembly in countries with specific regulations. The components of these trucks include chassis, body, refrigeration unit, and other elements.

Some Benefits of  CKD

  • Cost-effectiveness: Shipping in batches can reduce import taxes and transportation costs.
  • Local assembly: This can create jobs and boost the local economy.

Benefits of Our Solutions

  • Fashionable and beautiful shape attracts more users to buy and enhances the corporate image.
  • Modular parts make the body assembly more efficient.
  • More efficient thermal insulation reduces the cost of truck transportation.
  • Optimize the internal configuration, improve the structural strength and carrying capacity, and extend the service life of the refrigerated box.
  • Provide multi-temperature zone box design to meet multiple uses of one box (freezer zones, refrigerated zones, fresh-keeping zones, normal temperature zones).

Design Team – Professional, Rigorous and Scientific.

We have a professional box truck body design team with more than 20 years of experience, providing customers with professional design and optimization solutions. When designing a truck body, our team takes into account the following factors:

  • Total vehicle weight.
  • Load capacity.
  • Body rigidity.
  • Fatigue strength.
  • Aerodynamics.

Materials and Performance

  • The FRP surface is waterproofed with gel coat.
  • The core material is closed-cell rigid low-thermal conductivity insulation foam. You can choose XPS (extruded polystyrene), PU (polyurethane), PVC (polyethylene).
  • The FRP and foam core are bonded with low-temperature resistant glue and compounded in a vacuum environment.
XPS Foam FRP Sandwich Panels
  • Features: XPS foam is known for high moisture resistance, consistent thermal performance, and durability.
PU Foam FRP Sandwich Panels
  • Features: Polyurethane foam offers excellent thermal insulation properties, is lightweight, and has good structural integrity.
PVC Foam FRP Sandwich Panels
  • Features: Rigid PVC foam is strong, waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and has good dimensional stability.

Application of New FRP in Refrigerated Truck Insulation Panels

Thermosetting FRP is relatively brittle, not scratch-resistant, easy to wear and expensive, which means higher costs for refrigerated truck manufacturers. The new FRP sheet – CFRT (continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic) laminated sheet is a reliable alternative. Although it does not have the smooth surface of thermosetting FRP, it is more wear-resistant, impact-resistant and relatively cheap. The solution we recommend is to use thermosetting FRP on the outer surface and CFRT on the inner surface to maintain high performance and reduce costs.

Refrigerated Truck Flooring

Lightweight and durable aluminum alloy plates are used as the surface flooring material. The following types of floors can be selected for different truck box types.

  • Good anti-skid performance, suitable for light refrigerated truck boxes.
  • Easy to drain and clean. It is suitable for light and medium duty refrigerated truck bodies.
  • It is more conducive to drainage and cold air circulation, suitable for medium and large refrigerated truck boxes.

Customizable Accessories

You can specify the specifications and performance of the accessories. We can customize the accessories to meet the user’s local regulations or customs. These accessories include:

  • Anti-collision rubber blocks.
  • Door lock system.
  • Door frame.
  • Hinges.
  • Door retainers.
  • Refrigeration unit.
  • Bumper.
  • Side guards.
  • Led lights.
  • Aluminum edging.
  • Kick plate.
  • E-tracks.
  • Subframes.
  • Chassis frames.
  • Tailgate lifting platforms.
  • Roll-up doors.
  • Curtains.
