Do you sell refrigerated vans or only upfit them?2026-10-15T09:01:00-04:00

We are an upfitter, not a van dealer, so we do not sell vehicles directly. We build the refrigerated conversion on the van you own, and we can help you acquire a suitable van first. Tell us what you need to haul and we recommend the right platform and refrigeration system.

Can you convert a van I already own into a refrigerated van?2026-10-15T09:02:00-04:00

Yes, if the van has the payload and body for it. Insulation and a refrigeration unit add weight, so we check the van before we quote. Send the make, model, year and roof height through our contact form and we confirm.

What types of vans can be upfitted with refrigeration?2026-10-16T07:59:42-04:00

We upfit cargo vans including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, Chevrolet Express and Nissan NV, with insulation and refrigeration systems from suppliers such as Gruau. Tell us what you haul and how many stops you make and we recommend a van and a system.

How cold can a refrigerated van get?2026-10-15T09:04:00-04:00

It depends on the refrigeration unit and the insulation, and we build to the temperature your product requires. Typical targets are about 34 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit for produce, dairy and flowers, and 0 degrees or lower for frozen goods. Your supplier or regulator sets the exact number. Read about insulation in refrigerated vans for more.

How much does a refrigerated van conversion cost?2026-10-15T09:05:00-04:00

The cost depends on the van, the refrigeration unit, the insulation and the interior fittings. We quote each build in writing after we learn what you haul, the temperature you need and how many stops you make. Send a request through our contact form and we reply with a price.

Is a refrigerated van better than a refrigerated box truck?2026-10-15T09:06:00-04:00

A refrigerated van fits a standard parking space, costs less to run and suits routes with many small stops. A box truck holds more volume and handles pallet loads. If most of your deliveries are under a few hundred pounds, a van is usually the better fit. See how one business built a profitable refrigerated van fleet.

Can you create a van with both refrigerated and heated compartments?2026-10-16T07:59:45-04:00

Yes. We can build a van with separate refrigerated and heated compartments for businesses that deliver both cold and hot goods. Add custom van shelving inside each compartment to organize the cargo. Tell us what you deliver and we plan the layout.
