Understand refrigerated vans in generalKerstner vehicle pages
These vehicle pages show specific Kerstner solutions. Final design always depends on the goods, temperature range, payload, route profile and required equipment.
Typical applications
For refrigerated vans, key factors include temperature range, door openings, stationary periods, cargo space, payload and loading, as well as whether the priority is chilled goods, frozen goods, pharmaceutical transport or electric refrigeration.
Pharmaceutical transport vehicles
For pharmaceuticals, laboratory logistics and sensitive healthcare goods, Kerstner assesses the base vehicle, temperature window, interior insulation, refrigeration system, stationary periods, door openings and required documents for each project. This creates a solution suited to actual use rather than a generic conversion.

Frequently asked questions
The Ford Transit Custom suits medium-sized routes, while the larger Ford Transit V363 offers more cargo volume. The right variant depends on goods, temperature range, payload and daily route.
Yes. The Ford E-Transit Custom can be converted into an electric chilled goods van. Range, stationary periods, charging windows and a suitable electric refrigeration system are important.
The Ford Transit is mainly used for chilled goods solutions. Frozen goods requirements are assessed for each project because insulation, refrigeration capacity, door openings and payload must be coordinated.
The Transit Custom often focuses on electric refrigeration; belt drive may also be suitable for the larger Transit V363 depending on the base vehicle. Kerstner designs refrigeration to match the operating profile.
Ford Transit refrigerated vans suit regional chilled delivery routes, catering, trades carrying temperature-controlled goods and service fleets where daily practicality and cargo volume matter.
