In recent days, the high temperature and the coming of summer have made refrigerated trucks more and more popular. With the rise of the cold chain logistics industry in recent years, the demand for refrigerated trucks in the market is also growing. Many customers ask about refrigerated trucks. For this information, we have compiled some information to help you understand how to choose a stable and reliable refrigerated truck.
The choice of refrigerated trucks is basically similar to the selection of other special vehicles, mainly in the chassis, refrigerated box, and key components. 

Chassis

1.Truck chassis or semi-trailer
The main reason is to see how much the cargo is transported and the distance of transportation. Generally, the short-distance light truck chassis is selected, and the medium and long-distance cargo volume is large, use heavy truck chassis, or traction semi-trailer.

2, Buy the chassis yourself or commission a refrigerated truck manufacturer
In fact, buying a chassis and commissioning a refrigerated truck manufacturer is the same. Many buyers think that the manufacturer of the refrigerated truck will purchase it. The manufacturer will make money in the middle. In fact, the manufacturers often purchase the modified chassis and generally have a good relationship with the chassis supplier. The chassis is cheaper and more suitable for retrofit production.

Refrigerated box

1, According to the quantity of the cargo

The choice of car is related to the specific cargo being transported. Customized according to the specific needs of users. For example, a refrigerated truck carrying fresh meat needs to be equipped with a stainless steel hanging meat hook on the car body; a long-sized car can be installed with a floor ventilation trough as needed; and frequent loading and unloading requires a multi-purpose refrigerating truck. Manufacturers can be customized according to the specific needs of users.

2, Change ordinary cargo box refrigerator box

Many customers ask whether ordinary containers can be changed into refrigerators. They think that it is more cost-effective to use ordinary containers. The answer is yes, but it is not recommended to use ordinary boxes to change refrigerators. Because the general cargo compartment is made of iron or steel, the insulation effect is very poor, and it is also easy to rust.


Refrigeration unit 
When selecting a refrigeration unit, it is determined according to the temperature required to transport the cargo. The temperature can be adjusted from 5 degrees to minus 15 and 18 degrees.

1, Independent unit or non-independent unit

Non-independent refrigeration units are cheap and easy to maintain. However, the unit itself does not have a power unit, and it must rely on the automobile engine to drive the compressor; it is affected by the working condition of the automobile engine and the performance is not as good as that of the independent unit.

The freestanding refrigeration unit itself has an engine and generator unit that provides power and electrical energy to the refrigeration system. Can work independently, regardless of the working state of the car engine. The performance of this cold machine is relatively stable, but the price is higher and the accessories are more expensive.

Non-independent refrigeration unit

For short-distance distribution within the city or between districts and counties, the car is about 7 meters or less. It is recommended to use non-independent units. Not only is the procurement cost lower, but even if there is a failure, the maintenance is relatively convenient.

For long-distance transportation, if the car is more than 7 meters, it is recommended to use a free-standing chiller, because even if the car engine stops working during long-distance transportation, the chiller can still be cooled normally to meet the safety of the articles being transported.

2, Cryogenic unit or fresh-keeping unit

In terms of price, the cryogenic unit is expensive and the cooling temperature is lower. Fresh-keeping units are relatively cheap. However, for a cheap fresh-keeping unit, the unit itself does not have a defrosting function. At the time of purchase, choose the cryogenic unit or the fresh-keeping unit according to the temperature requirements of the goods transported by the refrigerated truck.

3, Imported refrigeration unit or domestic refrigeration unit

The imported refrigeration unit is expensive and has good refrigeration effect, and is suitable for users with strong economic strength. Domestic refrigeration units still have a certain gap with foreign brands in temperature control, especially in semi-trailer refrigerated trucks.
