Base vehicle
Opel Movano as a large refrigerated panel van
Application
Retail distribution, chilled goods, food logistics and fleets
Refrigeration technology
Electric refrigeration or belt drive
Planning
Consider HACCP-based processes, temperature control, cleaning and documentation
Large cargo compartment for commercial deliveries and recurring retail routes. Well suited to fleets that need refrigerated transport in the 3.5-tonne class without a truck-based operation. Kerstner matches interior insulation, refrigeration and equipment to stop frequency, goods and temperature window. The conversion supports HACCP-compliant procedures but does not replace the food business’s own HACCP plan.

Typical applications

Actual daily use matters, not just the vehicle model.

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.

Retail distribution HACCP-based delivery services 3.5-tonne fleet Food logistics Chilled goods transport Frozen goods transport

Pharmaceutical transport vehicles

Plan properly for temperature-sensitive goods.

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.

Documentation is part of technical advice.

Whether for food, chilled goods, frozen goods or pharmaceuticals, Kerstner clarifies early which test reports, certifications or project-specific documents are relevant to the configuration.

Practical benefits

Movano refrigerated conversion for delivery services and fleets.

HACCP-based delivery services

Technology that supports hygiene processes.

A refrigerated vehicle does not automatically make a business HACCP-compliant. It can provide the technical basis: an easy-clean cargo compartment, suitable interior insulation, stable temperature control and clearly documented equipment.

  • assess smooth, easy-clean interior surfaces for each project
  • design temperature control around the goods and route profile
  • clarify documentation and evidence early in consultation

Retail distribution

Prepared for routes with frequent stops.

Retail routes require frequent door openings, stationary periods, fast loading and robust controls. Kerstner therefore assesses not just refrigeration capacity, but how the base vehicle, conversion and daily workflow interact.

  • design according to stop frequency, cargo volume and target temperature
  • chilled and frozen goods variants possible depending on use
  • practical equipment for recurring routes

3.5-tonne fleet

Refrigerated transport without an oversized solution.

The Opel Movano can be attractive when a fleet wants large panel vans while staying within the 3.5-tonne class. Payload, conversion weight and actual goods remain decisive.

  • Refrigerated panel van for regional refrigerated logistics
  • Alternative to larger refrigerated trucks on suitable route profiles
  • assess payload and equipment together before quoting
