Refrigerated body on a Hyundai HD260 chassis

The project is based on a Hyundai HD260 chassis.

Body type — refrigerated body, sandwich panel. That leaves 8,000 × 2,350 × 2,300 mm inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is 43.2 m³, counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones.

The floor is chequered aluminium. Doors: hinged rear.

The refrigeration unit is Thermo King T-1200R — self-powered, with its own diesel engine.

Why it is built this way

Ribbed aluminium flooring is chosen where cargo moves on trolleys: the sheet takes no moisture, hoses down and does not delaminate under wheels. It is heavier than plywood but outlasts it severalfold.

The unit is self-powered: it has its own diesel engine, so the body stays cold with the truck switched off. For routes with long stops and night loading that is decisive.

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 43.2 m³ — the block below 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.
