A metal-skin reefer body brings together a protective exterior, a cleanable inner liner and a rigid insulated core. Sealed joints and carefully planned interfaces help the body retain performance over repeated journeys.
Cleanable interior liner
A smooth, coated metal interior supports practical wash-downs and hygiene-focused cargo handling.
Insulated wall and roof panels
Rigid polyurethane insulation is specified to suit the intended temperature envelope and operating cycle.
Reinforced, sealed floor
Floor insulation, surface and edge details are selected for payload, moisture exposure and loading demands.
Reference configurations may use 0.7 mm metal skins and polyurethane insulation above 50 kg/m³. Confirm the final specification, materials and performance requirements for each vehicle before manufacture or installation.

Common questions
Before you specify.
Start with your cargo and route. We’ll help define the body scope and details to confirm.
What is a metal-skin reefer body?
It is a temperature-controlled vehicle body built with protective metal outer and inner skins around a rigid insulated core. The complete specification is set for the vehicle, cargo and operating conditions.
What temperature range can it support?
Reference configurations cover approximately −25°C to +25°C when paired with a suitably specified refrigeration system. Actual performance depends on the vehicle, body build, unit and operating conditions.
Which vehicles can be configured?
Pick-up, light, intermediate and heavy commercial vehicle platforms can be considered. We confirm fit, dimensions and payload against the selected chassis.
What details help prepare a project estimate?
Share the vehicle or chassis, cargo type, target temperature, body dimensions, route, loading pattern and any preferred options.
