Skeletal Chassis for Refrigerated Box Transport
In today’s logistics industry, the demand for efficient and reliable cold chain transport is higher than ever. Whether moving fresh food, pharmaceuticals, or other temperature-sensitive goods, a strong and versatile chassis is critical for safe, compliant, and cost-effective operations.
Why a Skeletal Chassis for Refrigerated Boxes?
A skeletal chassis is a lightweight yet robust frame engineered to carry refrigerated containers/boxes. Compared to conventional trailers, it enables quicker (un)loading while maintaining high stability during long hauls.
- Flexibility: Compatible with common refrigerated box/container sizes.
- Strength: High-grade steel structure for secure heavy-duty use.
- Durability: Anti-corrosion surface treatments for extended service life.
- Efficiency: Reduced tare weight for improved fuel economy.
Key Applications
- Food & Beverage Distribution: Fresh/frozen products from farm to retail with stable temperature control.
- Pharmaceutical Logistics: Temperature-sensitive medicines and medical supplies.
- International & Intermodal Shipping: Fits standard reefer boxes for port-to-warehouse transfers.
Engineering & Quality
Our skeletal chassis are manufactured with European-certified materials and modern welding techniques. Each unit is validated for structural integrity, braking performance, and durability under challenging road conditions.
- High-strength S355JR (or equivalent) main beams with optimized cross-members.
- Twist-lock points positioned for standard reefer footprints.
- Brake systems compatible with EU standards (e.g., ECE R13), ABS/EBS options.
- Surface protection options: zinc-rich primer + polyurethane paint, or hot-dip galvanizing.
Customization Options
- Dimensions & Wheelbase: Tailored to your regional regulations and turning radius needs.
- Axle & Suspension: Mechanical or air suspension; single/dual tire setups; lift axle options.
- Load Securing: Extra lashing points, reinforced front bulkhead, toolbox solutions.
- Finish: Custom paint RAL codes, company branding, reflective markings.
