Cake carrier on a FAW 1027 chassis — a reefer with shelves

category Btwo tiers of shelves

⚖ payload up to 800 kg🚪 three side doors

Tall body — 1,700 mm, ≈ 5.3 m³. We also build the same FAW 1027 with a low 1,300 mm body: the plan dimensions are identical, the volume is two cubic metres less — see the low version.

The smallest reefer in our range. The FAW 1027, also known as the T80, is a Chinese light truck in licence category B: any driver with an ordinary licence can take the wheel, and it gets through where a medium-duty truck cannot turn around. A reefer like this is bought for city delivery — couriers, pharmacies, coffee shops, small wholesale: when a GAZelle is more space than you need but the cold has to be real. This one is a cake carrier: inside the body there are two tiers of shelves with perforated decking, so trays and cake boxes stand level and cold air reaches them from every side. Three side doors on the right let the driver open the section he needs and take his own tier without unloading the rest. The Elinge unit sits above the cab.

Who a FAW T80 reefer suits

This is a budget refrigerated van in the literal sense: the vehicle, the body and the servicing all cost less than any medium-duty truck. The 1.5-litre petrol engine needs no pre-heater in winter, FAW parts are available in Almaty, and ordinary workshops handle repairs.

What matters about a light delivery reefer: the payload here is up to 800 kg, and the weight of the refrigerated body has already been deducted. If you carry pallets, look at a GAZelle or a Kia Bongo. If you have 20–40 stops a day with boxes and crates, the FAW 1027 does the job and saves on fuel and parking.

Refrigeration unit

This truck is fitted with Elinge roof-mounted above the cab — the condenser sits over the cab, the evaporator under the body ceiling, and usable volume is not lost. The model of the unit is not legible in the photographs and is being confirmed. The range runs from −20 to +12 °C: it suits frozen goods, chilled products and pharmaceuticals alike. On the same chassis we also fit Carrier, Elinge and Kaida — we choose by budget and temperature mode.

Body

A 100 mm sandwich panel of our own production, frameless — no cold bridges along the ribs. Inside, the body is lined with galvanised sheet, with a chequered-aluminium kick rail along the bottom of the walls and on the door leaves. The rear doors are swing doors with rod locks; on request we add a side door — on delivery rounds it saves time, so you do not have to walk around the truck and open the whole body for a single box.

FAQ

FAQ about the cake carrier on a FAW 1027

The shelves divide the space into tiers, so cakes and trays are not stacked on top of each other and the upper row does not press on the lower one. The perforated decking lets cold air pass straight through, so the temperature is the same at floor level and under the ceiling.

About 5.3 m³. The external dimensions are 2,650 × 1,650 × 1,700 mm with a 100 mm panel, so the inside measures 2,450 × 1,450 × 1,500 mm. You cannot simply multiply the external dimensions — the walls take 10 cm off each side.

Only in height: 1,700 mm against 1,300 mm with identical plan dimensions. The difference in volume is about two cubic metres.

Category B: the FAW 1027 has a gross weight of 2,005 kg, below the 3,500 kg threshold. Any driver with an ordinary licence can drive it.

With galvanised sheet on the walls and ceiling. A chequered-aluminium kick rail runs along the bottom of the walls and the inner face of the leaves: it takes the knocks from the crates. This is the standard build; in the premium version the body is lined with GRP.

Yes — on this chassis we fit Carrier, Elinge and Kaida. We choose by mode and budget: freezing needs a more powerful unit than chilling.
