Used Large Freezer Vans For Sale

If any part of your business involves delivering fresh, perishable products such as foods or medical supplies, then a freezer van is not just an option; it is a necessity. A lot of products heavily depend on extreme temperatures to maintain their quality. Products like ice cream, frozen foods, and pharmaceuticals need to be stored in a temperature-controlled environment at all times. Freezer vans preserve them from the point of production to the point of delivery. Also, these vehicles ensure the safety of your products and maintain the health of your customers. Your business will be in serious jeopardy if people question the quality of your product. To protect your reputation, it is essential you get a freezer van for your business. Getting a large freezer van with bigger storage capacity is necessary to transport more cargo in a single trip, thereby saving you time and resources in the long term.

The introduction of temperature controlled vehicles changed business logistics and increased the longevity of perishable goods. If you have a supply chain or cold chain related business, involved in the distribution of goods, then you know how important it is to have a trustworthy freezer vehicle to prevent mishaps. Here at Glacier Vehicles, we are committed to delivering superior pre-owned freezer vans in large sizes. Our experts convert a wide variety of used freezer vans made by different manufacturers. We work with precision and dedication to create freezer vans that fit your business needs and guarantee the quality of your products.Our large used freezer vans are effective in transporting and distributing temperature-sensitive goods over long distances and for long periods of time. At Glacier Vehicles we take into consideration the distance usually travelled, the cargo you work with, the type of terrain you frequent, and your budget to get you a freezer van in top form.

The most important aspect of a temperature-controlled vehicle is the refrigeration unit. A functional van that does not keep the goods at a specific temperature is just a normal van. At Glacier Vans, we are well aware of the importance of excellent engineering when it comes to temperature-sensitive vehicles. Proper insulation stops heat from entering the vehicle. Our experts install superior freezing units to all our vehicles to ensure we create a properly insulated environment. Our large pre-owned fridge vans, including our dry goods panel vans, have an insulated cargo area that is optimised for quality temperature control.

Some aspects of our freezer vans include:

The main difference between a freezer van and a refrigerator van is the thickness of the insulation material used. Insulation is an essential component of freezer van conversions. The insulation used in large freezer vans is often of a higher quality and thickness than that of household freezers or fridge vans. Freezer vehicles work by removing heat from an insulated environment. The removal of heat energy from an insulated environment is what creates the required cold temperature. At Glacier Vehicles, we pay close attention to our insulation process, and we use thick, high-density polymer foam containing billions of minuscule air bubbles. The thick foam helps to create an insulated airtight compartment that stops heat from getting into the vehicle.

We work with major manufacturers and use materials of the highest quality in all our vehicles to ensure our large freezer vans protect the integrity of your goods. Our large used freezer vans are configured to be thermally efficient, and to operate in any condition. Our thermal engineering process follows a four-stage standard procedure which we strictly abide by when converting a large used van into a fully functional large used freezer van. The four-part freezer van conversion is outlined below:

Styrofoam : Styrofoam or any other high-density polymer foam is used for the insulation of the van. It is a poor conductor of heat which makes it an ideal choice for insulation. In our freezer van conversions, the insulation is thick and is greater than the thickness of the refrigerator van’s walls.

We install a high density Styrofoam that is 75mm thick in our freezer vans. We also insulate the entire surface of the van’s interior to ensure a tight seal. This way, heat cannot penetrate the vehicle.

Wood boarding : Another important aspect of the thermal engineering process is to wood-board the van. The windows, walls, and doors of the van are boarded up using wood. The installation of these wooden boards increases the durability of the freezer van. The wood used is specially treated beforehand to prevent rot, using a food-safe, antibacterial fungicide.

Fibreglass : We install standard fibreglass in our used freezer vans as part of the cost-effective insulating lining. Fibreglass is used like an interior sheeting, which makes the van freezer more efficient in holding the cold temperature for as long as possible. The fibreglass also acts as a keying agent for the GRP resin which is applied in the next stage.

GRP resin interior : Without adequate insulation, the freezer van refrigeration unit would be of no use. The finishing touch of the large van is done with GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) resin using a wet lay roller. The GRP ensures consistent density and equal insulation across the entire van, thereby minimising infiltration, and maintaining an even temperature throughout the entire cargo area. When dry, it is 100% hygienic, durable and easy to clean. It is also easy to maintain due to its excellent chemical resistance properties. At Glacier Vehicles, our vans use a direct drive mechanism that powers the refrigeration compartment using the engine as a power source. The engine is modified to generate enough power to control the refrigeration, freezing system, condenser, compressor, and evaporator.

Precise temperature control and high thermal efficiency are major highlights of Glacier Vehicles’ large used freezer vans. The temperature range of a freezer van is around -18⁰C to -25⁰C. Temperature control makes it possible to regulate the temperature of the van. Air is drawn from the ambient environment outside, and circulated around hotter parts to keep them cool.

The cooling compartment of the fridge truck also comes with a thermostat that allows you to regulate cooling in the fridge compartment. Part of the temperature control is the partition wall which can be either static or movable. The partition wall separates the cargo area from the driver cabin. This further minimises any heat entering the freezer from the cabin, with the added benefit of ensuring the freezing temperatures of the cargo hold do not inconvenience the driver or passenger.

At Glacier Vehicles, we use light, strong, and durable components to optimise efficiency and to accommodate our clients’ different requirements. Our large used freezer vans are built using state-of-the-art GAH refrigeration systems. GAH designs, manufactures and maintains refrigeration systems that fit large used freezer vans. They have the best solutions to meet every requirement you may have, while still maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.

After the installation of the GAH refrigeration system, all our vehicles go through multipoint checks and comprehensive MOT testing to guarantee the freezing vehicle is prepared for rigorous transportation and logistics needs.

• The freezer vans feature a 2 temperature fan kit and a dual compartment insulated cargo compartment, making it possible to hold multiple temperatures in one van. Because of this, cargo requiring different temperatures can be preserved at the same time.
• The van can attain and maintain temperatures from 0⁰C to -25⁰C.
• It can keep your cargo frozen for a long period.
• The interior of the large freezer vans features load-bearing floor panels that can be customised to suit your business needs.
