Standardise a medium-sized fleet
For 5 to 80 vehicles, consistent conversion standards, clear temperature ranges and repeatable equipment simplify purchasing, maintenance and driver training.
Plan a fleet standardRefrigerated vehicles for haulage companies & fleets
One configuration. A hundred vehicles. One point of contact.
You scale routes, sites and drivers. What you do not want to scale is problems. Kerstner builds refrigerated fleets with consistent configurations, EU-wide maintenance and transparent costing.
Quick answers
What matters for haulage companies & fleets?
For haulage companies and fleets, the vehicle model is only part of the picture. Goods, temperature window, route profile, door openings, load compartment, payload and the right combination of interior insulation and refrigeration unit are crucial.
Start an enquiry- Industry
- Hauliers & fleets
- Design
- Consider goods, temperature, load compartment, door openings and payload together
- Refrigeration technology
- Refrigeration unit and interior insulation as a coordinated system
- Vehicle choice
- Suitable models provide guidance and are assessed for each project
Decision guide
Which refrigerated vehicle solution suits your fleet?
For medium-sized fleets and haulage companies, the deciding factor is not one individual vehicle, but a clear standard covering vehicle platform, refrigeration, service and repeatability.
Distribution and the last mile
On regional routes with many stops, the conversion must suit payload, door openings, stationary periods and load space.
Explore refrigerated van optionsMake service and maintenance predictable
Fleets benefit from clear service channels, spare parts supply and technical documentation that is genuinely easy to find in everyday operations.
View serviceTypical challenges
What matters in everyday work.
20 vehicles, 20 configurations.
Your drivers switch between routes and have to learn each vehicle afresh.
Maintenance as a black box.
Three different workshops, three different invoices, no shared data.
ATP/FRC records in a shoebox.
Audits become a scramble.
Service in France? Spain?
Your driver is stuck, and you know nobody locally.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
From how many vehicles is a fleet contract worthwhile?
Economically attractive from 5 vehicles. For 20+ vehicles, we typically appoint a dedicated account manager.
How does EU-wide service work?
Through the Lamberet service partner network. You report the issue to Groß-Rohrheim, and we coordinate the local partner.
How long does fleet delivery take?
With a uniform configuration and advance planning, typically 4–6 months for 50 vehicles. Exact dates are set in the project plan.
Are telematics interfaces possible?
Yes, depending on the telematics provider. We check compatibility in advance and document the interfaces.
How is ATP/FRC documentation managed?
Digitally for each vehicle, including maintenance and inspection history. One click during an audit.
When is a refrigerated vehicle worthwhile for a medium-sized fleet?
A refrigerated vehicle is worthwhile for a medium-sized fleet when temperature-controlled routes run regularly and vehicle standards, maintenance, payload and temperature range need to be predictable.
Why is a uniform configuration important for refrigerated fleets?
Uniform configurations simplify driver training, spare parts supply, maintenance and repeat orders. They also make operating costs and technical differences easier to control.
What role does service play in refrigerated fleets?
Service is crucial for fleets because downtime directly affects routes, the cold chain and customer deliveries. Clear service channels, documentation and spare parts availability make operations more reliable.
