The difference between refrigerated trucks and vans

1. Different Materials

Refrigerated trucks have refrigeration units in their cabins, and their bodies are constructed of polyurethane, fiberglass, color-coated steel sheets, stainless steel, and other insulation.

Van trucks are simply welded together from ordinary iron plates and lack insulation.

2. Different Constructions

Refrigerated trucks consist of a running chassis built on a dedicated vehicle chassis, with an insulated cabin typically constructed from polyurethane, fiberglass, color-coated steel, stainless steel, and other materials. They also include a refrigeration unit and a temperature recorder within the cabin. For specialized requirements, such as meat hook trucks, optional accessories such as meat hooks, waist rails, aluminum alloy rails, and ventilation slots can be added.

Compared to refrigerated trucks, vans lack the numerous details and features found in refrigerated trucks.

3. Different manufacturing technologies

Refrigerated truck body manufacturing technology

(1) "Sandwich" panel bonding method for piece-by-piece assembly. Currently, all major domestic refrigerated truck manufacturers use this technology. Refrigerated trucks produced using this technology have higher thermal insulation performance.

(2) Injection foaming method for piece-by-piece assembly.

(3) Injection foaming method for the entire frame.

(4) Vacuum adsorption method for pasting

Van manufacturing technology

(1) The lower box body includes a rectangular bottom wall and four box body side walls arranged around the bottom wall. The bottom wall and the box body side walls together form a receiving cavity with an upper opening.

(3) The top cover includes a rectangular top plate and top cover side walls connected to the bottom of the top plate. The top cover covers the upper part of the lower box body to close the lower box body opening, and the top cover side walls are located on the outer periphery of the box body side walls.
