Refrigerated body on a two-axle Actros for intercity and warehouse logistics. A 6.2-metre body, 50 mm sandwich panel skinned in reinforced fibreglass outside and inside — that is what “premium” means here: the material is light, does not corrode and copes with temperature swings. At the rear, a tail lift by Dhollandia: the vehicle loads from the ground, with no dock and no forklift. The refrigeration unit is Elinge C5 — the duty is chilled, not frozen: the body cools but does not freeze. The photos show three identical bodies.

More about the design on the page refrigerated vans. Unit specifications — Elinge.
The project is based on a Mercedes-Benz Actros chassis.
Body type — refrigerated body, sandwich panel, external dimensions 6,200 × 2,600 × 2,500 mm. That leaves 6,100 × 2,500 × 2,400 mm, 50 mm panel inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is ≈ 36.6 m³ (6,100 × 2,500 × 2,400 mm), counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones.
Doors: hinged rear.
The refrigeration unit is Elinge C5. Operating range: chilled duty, above zero — no freezing.
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 ≈ 36.6 m³ (6,100 × 2,500 × 2,400 mm) — the block above estimates the load in pallets.
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.
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 6 100 × 2 500 × 2 400 mm · 36.6 m³
The layout scheme is on the right: it shows how the rows sit and how much room is left.
