Light Duty Reefer / Refrigerated Trucks For Sale

About Reefer/Refrigerated Trucks

Whether you call them “reefer trucks,” “refrigerated box trucks,” or “refrigerated sprinters,” refrigerated trucks are designed to keep goods cool until arriving at their final destination. Butchers, beverage distributors, caterers, florists, and medical companies are among the many operations that rely on refrigerated trucks to transport their products, supplies, and other cargo to their destination at just the right temperature. These vehicles are available in battery-electric, diesel, and gas models.

Cold Cargo

Refrigerated cargo examples include flowers, frozen and perishable foods, medicines, plasma, and even fine art. To deliver these goods at the controlled temperatures, refrigeration units are equipped on an insulated box truck or cargo van. Refrigeration units often come with temperature management systems help to maintain exact temps or ranges of temps for specific perishable items. Some systems include sensors throughout the cargo box that monitor temperatures and can alert operators when temperatures are nearing preset thresholds so they can adjust as needed before their cargo is damaged. Modern refrigerated trucks also track and record ambient temperature data to comply with regulations and ensure products are delivered at the appropriate temperatures.

Transporting Chilled & Frozen Goods

New and used refrigerated trucks for sale at TruckPaper.com often feature multiple temperature control zones, so a single reefer truck can transport different types of refrigerated cargo. With fixed-in-place partitions or a modular configuration, one refrigerated truck could transport ambient-temperature, refrigerated, and frozen items. Side and back doors on the refrigerated unit may also be available to provide quick access to the various temperature zones, reducing the potential disruption that can occur when doors are opened and closed.

Payload Capacity

Refrigerated trucks range from light-duty vans with 6- to 8-foot (1.8 to 2.4-meter) insulated cargo bays to medium- and heavy-duty trucks with refrigerated bodies up to 24 ft (7.3 m) long. The longest refrigerated trucks often offer a payload capacity above 8,000 pounds (3,629 kilograms). Modern reefer trucks are often constructed with lightweight materials for a lower overall vehicle weight, which in turn allows for increased payloads and greater efficiency per trip.
