Conversion specification

Base vehicle: panel van, standard roof height, hinged rear doors, sliding door on the right, internal combustion engine (ICE)

Delivery code: 00795

The Kerstner chilled goods conversion for the VW Caddy 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 1.9-2.4 m³ with unobstructed clearance between the wheel arches, suitable for loading Euro pallets.
