Box & Reefer Trailers

A sealed box trailer, insulated and ready for a refrigeration unit. Built for cargo that cannot be exposed — to weather, to dust, or to the temperatures this region reaches through the summer.

Specification

Body
Fully enclosed box
Insulation
Insulated panels, refrigeration-ready
Access
Rear doors; side door on request
Typical use
Dry goods, retail distribution, chilled and frozen cargo

Every figure above is a starting point, not a fixed catalogue spec — we build to your requirement.

What it carries

Retail and FMCG distribution, pharmaceuticals, chilled and frozen food, and any dry cargo that needs to arrive clean and undamaged.

Insulation and cooling

We build the body insulated and prepared for a refrigeration unit. Which unit you fit is your choice — tell us the make and model at order stage and we will prepare the mounting and the aperture to suit it.

Specifying yours

Internal dimensions, insulation specification, door configuration, floor type and whether you need partitioning for mixed-temperature loads.

Deciding the insulation before you decide the unit

Buyers often choose the refrigeration unit first and treat the body as a box to bolt it onto. It works better the other way round. Insulation determines how hard the unit has to work, and in UAE summer conditions an under-insulated body means a unit running near continuously — more fuel, more wear, and a shorter service life.

Tell us the temperature you need to hold and the longest run you do in peak summer. We specify the insulation around that, then prepare the mounting and aperture for whichever unit you have chosen.

Dry freight or refrigerated

Not every box body needs cooling. If your cargo simply has to arrive clean, dry and secure, a dry freight box costs less, weighs less and carries more payload. We build the body insulated and reefer-ready when you need it and leave that out when you do not — there is no sense paying for insulation that will never be switched on.

If you are unsure, consider whether cold chain is a requirement of your customers or merely a convenience. That question usually settles it.

Door configuration

Rear barn doors are the default and suit dock loading. Side doors add access for multi-drop work where opening the full rear at every stop lets the cold out. For mixed-temperature loads, a partition lets you run two zones in one body — worth specifying at build stage, as retrofitting one later is rarely tidy.

Floor and internal finish

The floor takes the most punishment, particularly under pallet trucks. Floor type is specified per order around whether you load by forklift, pallet truck or by hand. Internal finish matters for anything that has to be washed down between loads.

What happens after you enquire

Send the cargo type, the temperature range if any, your internal dimensions, how you load, and the destination country. You get a written specification, a price and a lead time, usually within one working day. Buyers outside the UAE should read our GCC export page for how collection works.

Box & Reefer Trailer FAQs

What is a reefer trailer?

A refrigerated trailer — an insulated, fully enclosed box body prepared for a refrigeration unit, used for chilled and frozen cargo. We build the body insulated and reefer-ready; you choose the unit and we prepare the mounting and aperture to suit it.

Do you supply the refrigeration unit?

The unit is your choice. Tell us the make and model at order stage and the body is prepared for it. That way you are not locked into a unit we happen to stock, and you can match whatever your existing fleet runs.

Can one trailer carry chilled and frozen goods at the same time?

Yes, with a partition creating two temperature zones. It is much easier to build that in from the start than to retrofit it, so raise it at the specification stage.

Do we need insulation if we only carry dry goods?

No. A dry freight box costs less, weighs less and therefore carries more payload. Insulation is worth paying for only if cold chain is an actual requirement for your cargo.

How long does a box or reefer trailer take to build?

Lead time depends on the body size and insulation specification. We confirm it in writing with your quotation, before you commit to anything.

Other trailer types

If you need weather protection but faster side access, see curtain-side trailers. For open freight that does not need covering, a flatbed or stake body trailer is lighter and cheaper. Our build process explains how every chassis is fabricated.
