Question 1

How many pallets fit into a 4.25-metre body?

Accepted Answer

Eight pallets. The interior is 4,050 × 2,050 × 2,200 mm: six 1200 × 800 europallets stand on the floor in one tier — two per row short side first, three rows. The 2,200 mm height leaves room for a second tier, which is used with pharmaceutical cartons — hence the stated eight pallets. A comparison of the GAZelle wheelbases is on the page GAZelle Next.

Question 2

How does the premium FRP trim differ from an ordinary body?

Accepted Answer

The skin material. In a standard body the walls are galvanised or white plated sheet inside and the floor is chequered aluminium. Here both the outer and the inner skin of the panel are FRP fibreglass, and the floor is fibreglass with quartz grit. Fibreglass does not rust along seams and rivets, hoses down and does not retain the smell of the previous load, while the quartz grit gives the floor grip so a pallet does not slide. For pharmaceuticals, where the body is washed and inspected, that matters.

Question 3

What temperature does the body hold?

Accepted Answer

The working range of this vehicle is the pharmaceutical +2…+8 °C. Elinge C2 is rated for a body of up to 16 m³ at 0 °C and up to 11 m³ at −20 °C, with a cooling capacity of 3200 W at 0 °C and 1600 W at −20 °C; the body here is 18.3 m³, so the vehicle is built for cooling rather than deep freezing. In winter the task is the opposite — keeping the load from freezing — and an independent Webasto heater handles it. If a steady sub-zero temperature is needed for this volume, a larger model of the range is fitted — the full list is on the page Elinge.

Question 4

Is the body suitable for carrying medicines by the rules?

Accepted Answer

That is exactly what it was built for. The requirements for medicine transport are a washable finish with no pores or gaps, holding a defined temperature range, and documentary proof of that range over the trip. Hence the FRP fibreglass, the winter heater and the temperature recorder that plots the chart. Validating the range and calibrating the sensors is done by the customer under their own protocol.

Question 5

Is a propane vehicle reliable with a refrigeration unit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Elinge unit is driven by the engine and does not care what fuel that engine burns. The cylinder sits under the frame and takes no space beneath the body. Gas makes the kilometre cheaper, and for rounds covering hundreds of kilometres a week that is a visible line in the budget.

Question 6

Can the same vehicle be ordered now?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the body is a series product. We fit it on both GAZelle Next wheelbases and on the GAZelle Business, repeating the specification: hinged rear doors, FRP panels, a floor with quartz grit. The refrigeration unit model is chosen for the body volume and the range — the whole line-up is on the page Elinge.

Question 7

How much does such a reefer cost?

Accepted Answer

The price is made up of the body and the unit. The unit is quoted from the Elinge price list, the body from its configuration: length, panel thickness, doors, interior fit-out. Leave a request or write on WhatsApp and we will send a quote. COND does not publish prices for bodies.

Question 8

What documents do you issue after the conversion?

Accepted Answer

COND is a factory with its own WMI manufacturer code, so we issue the full set of conversion paperwork and the entry in the vehicle passport.
