Conversion specification

Base vehicle: closed panel van, low roof, sliding door on the right or on both sides, hinged rear doors or tailgate

Delivery code: AHKA0

The Kerstner chilled goods conversion for the Mercedes-Benz Vito combines the highest insulation performance with consistent

practicality – developed and manufactured for everyday use in

food and chilled goods transport.

The conversion achieves a K coefficient of below 0.4 W/m²K and

is classified as “heavily insulated” under ATP requirements.

This is made possible by the seamless connection of all insulation elements – including at

the sliding door – without gaps or thermal bridges.

The polyurethane insulation components are water-repellent,

antibacterial and impact-resistant, and meet the requirements

of the ATP and HACCP guidelines. The easy-to-clean

surface reduces the effort required to maintain hygiene in day-to-day operation.

Thanks to its computer-optimised fit, the conversion provides a

usable load volume of 4.5-5 m³ with unobstructed

clearance between the wheel arches, suitable for loading

Euro pallets.
