Refrigerated vans

Buy a refrigerated van or commission a conversion.

Kerstner plans refrigerated vans, refrigerated vehicles and pharmaceutical transport vehicles for chilled goods, frozen goods, temperature-sensitive healthcare products and professional fleets. Goods, temperature range, base vehicle, payload and daily route profile are decisive.

Quick answers

Which refrigerated van is right for you?

A refrigerated van is more than a van with cooling. Kerstner matches the base vehicle, interior insulation, refrigeration unit, floor, lighting, load restraint and documentation to use. The result is a solution that works reliably every day.

Chilled goods transport

Design confidently for positive temperatures.

Chilled goods require stable temperatures, quick access, a robust cargo floor and simple daily operation. Kerstner designs refrigeration and insulation around the goods, route and base vehicle.

View chilled goods solutions

Frozen goods transport

Plan frozen goods transport properly.

For frozen goods, the goods themselves, target temperature, door openings, stationary periods and supporting documents are especially important. Depending on the base vehicle, Kerstner units or third-party units may be assessed.

Pharmaceutical transport vehicles

Refrigerate sensitive goods reliably.

Medicines, laboratory logistics and healthcare goods require more than refrigeration capacity. Stable temperature windows, suitable interior insulation, straightforward operation, stationary periods and the necessary documentation all matter.

Frequently asked questions

Questions and answers.

What is the difference between a refrigerated van and a refrigerated vehicle?

Many customers use the term refrigerated van. Kerstner’s technical terminology is refrigerated vehicle or refrigerated conversion. This usually means a van platform with an insulated cargo compartment, suitable refrigeration and practical equipment.

Can an existing van be converted into a refrigerated van?

This depends on the base vehicle, condition, payload, cargo space, desired temperature range and technical requirements. Kerstner first checks whether conversion makes sense and is technically feasible.

Are electric refrigerated vans available?

Yes. Kerstner offers several battery-electric platforms and designs refrigeration to suit route profile, temperature range, payload and charging plans.

Is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter suitable as a refrigerated van?

Yes. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a proven platform for larger refrigerated vans carrying chilled goods and, depending on version, for more demanding temperature requirements.
