Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature range can CoolKit box fridge vans maintain?

Our box bodies can be configured for:

· Chilled (0°C to +5°C)

· Frozen (down to –20°C)

· Ambient

· Dual or multi-temperature zones

Every build is designed to maintain consistent temperatures even in demanding conditions.

Can CoolKit box fridge vans be customised for multi-compartment use?

Yes. Our insulated box bodies are customisable to suit a wide range of needs, including:

  • Dual-compartment systems
  • Multi-temperature configurations
  • Removable or fixed bulkheads
  • Tail lifts
  • Internal racking & shelving
  • Slip-resistant flooring
  • Standby systems (overnight plug-in)
  • Load restraints
  • Temperature data logging systems

Please consult with our team to gain a clearer of idea of how we can personalise your box fridge van to your requirements.

What are the payload capabilities on CoolKit box fridge vans?

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.

Are CoolKit box fridge vans sustainable?

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.

What are the benefits of box vans over regular fridge vans?

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.

What industries use box fridge vans?

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.

Do you offer electric box fridge vans?

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

Do you offer box freezer vans as well as box fridge vans?

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.

Can I install the refrigerated body myself?

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

What is a refrigerated box body van?

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.

What chassis types can a box body be built on?

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.

What sizes and lengths are available?

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.

What materials do you use in your box bodies?

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.

Can I visit the CoolKit factory to see the builds?

Yes — many customers find a factory tour incredibly helpful.
It allows you to see:

  • The materials we use
  • The manufacturing process
  • Real box body builds at different stages
  • Our quality control standards

Speak to our team to book a visit.

What is the lead time for a box body build?

Lead times vary depending on chassis type and specification.
Thanks to our growing production capacity and dedicated box body build cell, lead times are often shorter than the industry average. Contact our team for the latest availability.

Do you provide warranty and aftersales support?

Yes — all CoolKit box bodies come with a comprehensive warranty, and our aftersales support team is available for advice, servicing and parts.
