Refrigerated Truck Body

Lightweight & High-strength Materials

Carbody is committed to researching the lightweight and strength of refrigerated truck body. In order to reduce the burden and increase efficiency of refrigerated trucks, we have developed many new composite materials for application on the body. The application of new materials not only reduces the weight of the truck body, increases the impact strength, but also extends the service life of the truck box.

First of all, our body skin material uses antibacterial, anti-UV, and scratch-resistant FRP sheets instead of metal skins (such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). We have also developed a new type of FRP – CFRT (Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic) as the skin material, which provides higher compressive and impact resistance.
Secondly, we use non-water-absorbent rigid foam (PU, XPS). These foam core materials have stable performance, do not rot or deform, and will not produce any performance changes during the service life of the refrigerated truck.
Thirdly, we use lightweight and high-viscosity environmentally friendly adhesives, and the panels will not delaminate (separate the core material and skin material) in the temperature range of -40~80°. And it has no peculiar smell and does not produce any harmful gases.
Fourth, we design a series of lightweight and high-strength components. Our designers will design various profiles, sheet metal and other components according to customer needs.

We Design a Variety of Refrigerated Truck Body Solutions

Ordinary Foam Sandwich Panel

It is a typical sandwich structure, especially suitable for small or mini-type refrigerated trucks, which is an economical and suitable choice.

Waterproof plywood Timber Frame Sandwich Panel

Waterproof plywood is used as the frame structure of the sandwich panel, which not only maintains the lightness of the wood but also overcomes the problem of it being easily rotted when exposed to water, and provides sufficient strength support between the boards. In addition, the excellent nail-holding strength of wood also facilitates the installation of other accessories.

Continuous pultruded fiberglass frame sandwich panels

Sandwich panels that use high-strength continuous pultruded fiberglass materials as the frame structure are much stronger than sandwich panels with wooden structures. Moreover, fiberglass components are lightweight, high-strength, high-temperature resistant, and non-deformable, with a normal service life of 20 to 30 years.

Recessed E-Track Sandwich Panel

It is developed based on the continuous pultruded fiberglass frame structure sandwich panel, with E-track installed inside the sandwich panel. This advanced design method not only makes the surface of the side panels of the refrigerated truck smooth, reducing the risk of damage to the cargo and the E-track system itself, but also increases the space inside the box and enhances the quality of the vehicle.
