We pride ourselves on offering vans with advanced payload capabilities at CoolKit. 9 of our refrigerated vans are capable of doing the work of 10 competitor vans, and our insulation is 17% more efficient than competitor PET insulation. On average, our vehicle conversions have an extra 100kg of payload than conversions that use traditional wood and fibreglass.

We prioritise sustainability at CoolKit. Our vans are made with a higher payload capacity, which improves fuel efficiency, and, in turn, leads to reduced carbon emissions during operation. We also partner with pbx, whose refrigeration units use R290, an organic refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3, which is significantly lower than conventional refrigerants. We are certified to the ISO 14001 environmental standard, and we actively engage in ESG initiatives, including expanding recycling streams, improving environmental practices, and investing in workforce and community development.

Box vans offer several advantages over standard fridge vans, making them a popular choice for refrigerated transport. Some key benefits include:

• Better Insulation – Box vans are more effectively insulated, particularly around doors and side panels where standard fridge vans may have gaps or tapering that reduces thermal efficiency.
• Greater Flexibility – Unlike fridge vans built into the body shell, box vans aren’t restricted by chassis constraints, allowing for more adaptable configurations.
• Customisable Size & Layout – Box vans offer flexibility in dimensions, internal layout, and payload capacity to suit different business needs, due to the flat walls and ceiling, box vans have better customisation capabilities with options for shelves and multi-compartment temperature zones.
• Better for Tail Lifts – The level floor design makes box vans more suitable for tail lift operations, improving loading and unloading efficiency, especially for pallets and totes.
• Extended Lifespan – The box can be removed and fitted to a new chassis when upgrading the vehicle, effectively extending its usable life and reducing long-term costs.
• More Space – The box shape gives more internal space, which makes it easier to stack and organise your goods.

We provide box fridge van solutions for a number of industries, including food and drink, pharmaceutical, sampling, rental, leasing and contract hire and agriculture sectors. We also work with any other industry needing reliable temperature-controlled transport.

Yes — we specialise in electric box body conversions. Our lightweight construction helps maintain maximum range and payload, even with refrigeration equipment installed.

Yes. We offer both refrigerated and freezer box vans. When determining whether your application requires a fridge or freezer van, consider the types of products being transported, the length of transportation routes, and the temperature range these products need to be kept in.  We also offer dual-compartment options.

No, we wouldn’t want end users to install their own box van kits.

A refrigerated box body van is a vehicle built with a fully insulated, purpose-designed box body mounted onto a chassis cab or platform cab. Unlike panel vans, box bodies offer larger internal volume, higher payloads, and better thermal performance.

CoolKit builds box bodies on:

• BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles)
• Diesel & hybrid chassis (ICE)
• Chassis cab
• Chassis cab with sleeper
• Platform cab

This gives full flexibility depending on the operational requirement.

We can build box bodies up to 6.0 metres in length, depending on the chassis platform. Payload and internal volume are maximised through lightweight composite materials and smart engineering.

CoolKit uses:

• Lightweight composite panels for maximum payload
• High-performance insulation for excellent thermal control
• Durable, clean-finish interior linings
• Precision-engineered floor and frame structures
• All builds are supported by CAD design and CNC manufacturing for accuracy and repeatability.
