CoolKit wins refrigerated van conversion deals with Toyota and Renault30 June 2017
Refrigerated bodybuilder CoolKit has won approval for two LCV van body production schemes, the Toyota Converter programme and the Renault Ready for Business pre-bodied range.
The Toyota programme, launched at the CV Show in April, is aimed at guaranteeing a quality assured conversion to Toyota customers within the refrigerated transport industry.
The Toyota Proace refrigerated van featured on the show stand is based on a medium wheelbase model in base trim with conversion work by Coolkit. The installation of the refrigeration system creates a loadspace measuring (internally) 2,135mm long, 1,128mm wide and 1,347mm high. The vehicle payload is expected to be 941kg. The conversion proposes a Hubbard (Zanotti) SFZ009 temperature control system with an under-chassis condenser and off-cycle defrosting. It is designed to carry packaged goods at temperatures from chill to +0º Celsius. The design can be adapted to provide loading doors to the rear or either side. Other features available include LED loadspace lighting, strip curtains, drain hole and an anti-slip floor. The estimated retail price is £5,995 plus VAT.
Cameron Javed, sales director at CoolKit, says: “Our Proace conversion provides customers with a refrigerated option for a vehicle that offers a lot of benefits to businesses.”
Also, Renault Trucks chose CoolKit as an official provider of their refrigerated conversions for the new Ready For Business range of commercial vehicles. CoolKit will be the official provider of three vehicles – a fridge van, freezer van and new chilled box body built on the Renault Trucks Master chassis cab. All conversions are based on the latest Euro 6 powered Renault Master with unique specification enhancements from Renault Trucks.
