Who we are

Established in 2005, CoolKit is widely recognised by fleet operators, fleet funders, OEMs, and motor dealers as the foremost provider of equipment for producing industry-leading temperature-controlled and refrigerated light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

CoolKit’s range of products includes van conversions, ready-converted vans, kit-form conversions, and rigid insulated box bodies – all of which are designed and manufactured in-house. A range of portable refrigerators for partial load applications completes the line-up. All these products are supported by a network of specialist mobile technicians dedicated to maximising vehicle uptime.

Employing a valued team of more than 100, CoolKit’s 70,000 square feet workshops enable up to 60 vans to be worked on simultaneously, facilitating output of more than 2,000 converted units per annum for markets in both the UK and overseas.

By upholding excellence in quality, value, and integrity, by listening passionately to customers’ needs, and by continually re-imagining our diverse range of complementary products and services, CoolKit solves complex transportation problems which optimise our customers’ vehicle productivity, whilst minimising their owning and running costs.

CoolKit has recently pioneered conversions for electrically powered vehicles (EVs), addressing the challenges of payload, range and total costs of ownership that vehicles of this type present.

A holder of numerous OEM accreditations including Ford, Volkswagen, Renault, Toyota and Stellantis, the company that incorporates Citroen, Peugeot and Vauxhall brands in the UK, as well as numerous Awards for innovation, engineering, technical excellence, and quality, no other converter presents such a diversity of accolades.

Caring about colleagues, customers, and the environment, CoolKit is committed to the highest standards of quality, safety and environmental management as bearer of numerous enviable standards including ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO27596.

Our company vision is quite simply to enjoy seeing our products in use on every high street.
