Which refrigeration unit can be fitted?

We choose by body volume and range, not by chassis make. On a HINO 300 delivery truck the mid-range models are usually enough: the Elinge C4 (on this vehicle a C4T with heating) or a Carrier Citimax. Tell us the volume and the temperature you need and we will name the model.

What makes the HINO 300 good for a refrigerated body?

This is a Japanese delivery truck with a long-life diesel and straightforward servicing. For a refrigerated body it matters that it has margin on the rear axle: a refrigerated body itself weighs noticeably more than a dry-freight one, and on a weak chassis the payload melts away. Our other bodies on this make are on the HINO page.

Reefer body on a HINO 300 chassis

over-cab unitside doorassembled by SemAZ, Semey

This chassis is not currently supplied to Kazakhstan. Hino is not imported into the country, so we cannot repeat this project on that chassis. We fit the same body to chassis that are available — we will pick an equivalent for your load.

A refrigerated body on a HINO 300 delivery chassis assembled in Kazakhstan (SemAZ LLP, Semey). The refrigeration unit sits above the cab and takes nothing off the usable volume. There is a side door on the right: on a city route the driver unloads from the pavement instead of shifting the load to reach the middle of the body. At the rear there are swing doors with rod locks — two rods per leaf. Reflective corner markings run around the body, with side underrun protection and a rear bar underneath.

How this body is built

The vehicle is built on a HINO 300 917, Euro 5 chassis. Gross weight 7,500 kg, so the driver needs a category C licence.

Body type — refrigerated body, sandwich panel. That leaves 4,300 × 2,000 × 2,000 mm, 100 mm panel inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is ≈ 17.2 m³ (4,300 × 2,000 × 2,000 mm), counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones.

The interior lining is galvanised sheet on the walls and ceiling. Doors: hinged rear plus a side door on the right.

The refrigeration unit is Elinge C4T (with heating), mounted above the cab. Fitted equipment: reflective corner markers around the outline, a side guard, an underrun bar, mudflaps.

Why it is built this way

Walls and ceiling are lined with galvanised sheet — the factory standard for a van body: it shrugs off moisture, takes a pallet-corner knock and is replaced in sections rather than whole panels.

A side door changes distribution logistics: at each stop you open it rather than the whole rear portal — less cold escapes and the truck can park tight against its neighbour.

Who it suits

A body with a refrigeration unit carries anything perishable: meat and fish, dairy, ready meals, flowers, medicines. The unit holds the set temperature while parked too, so the truck also suits distribution runs with long stops. Usable volume here is ≈ 17.2 m³ (4,300 × 2,000 × 2,000 mm) — the block above estimates the load in pallets.

We will build the same — to your size and your chassis

This body is not a catalogue item but a project we actually built. We will make the same one to your dimensions: length, width and height are calculated for your cargo and the chassis payload, rather than fitting the cargo to a ready-made size.

We also fit it to your own chassis: bring the vehicle, we take the frame dimensions, build the body, mount it and hand it over with the conversion paperwork.

If you are still choosing a chassis, we have the same body on other bases as well: Chevrolet Labo, DongFeng C31, FAW 1027, GAZelle Business 3302. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.

How many pallets fit

A standard 1,200 × 800 mm europallet, single tier, no restacking. Internal dimensions with a 50 mm laying allowance — a pallet will not go in dead tight.

Inside 4 300 × 2 000 × 2 000 mm · 17,2 m³

FAQ

FAQ about the HINO 300 reefer

Because there it takes not a centimetre of usable volume. The condenser mounts on the front wall above the cab and the evaporator goes under the roof inside. The alternative is an under-mounted unit, but on a delivery truck the space under the frame is already crowded with the tank, batteries and spare wheel.

On a city round the vehicle stands along the kerb. Through the side door the driver unloads straight onto the pavement and takes a box from the middle of the body without pulling out everything nearer the rear doors. On a round with a couple of dozen stops that is the main time saving.

The bar clamps the leaf top and bottom at once, two bars per door. On a reefer that matters more than on a dry van: the seal only works when the leaf is pressed evenly, and a finger-wide gap cancels out both the panel and the unit.

We select by body volume and duty, not by the make of the chassis. On a delivery HINO 300 the mid-range models are usually enough: Elinge C2–C3 or Carrier Citimax. Tell us the volume and the temperature you need and we will name the model.

It is a Japanese delivery truck with a long-life diesel and straightforward servicing. For a reefer what matters is its rear-axle margin: a refrigerated body weighs noticeably more than a dry one, and on a weak chassis the payload melts away. Our other bodies on this make are on the HINO page.

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

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.
