“Our vehicles work extremely hard on deliveries and collections all over Europe, so the reliability and consistent performance achieved by our refrigerated vehicles is vital to the success of the business.

Tony adds that the nature of the delivery work the vans are involved in requires a quite complex and detailed design.

“In addition to the capability of a 50°C differential between the two compartments, the vehicle also has twin temperature recorders, to ensure that load integrity is never compromised at any time, and full European coverage satellite tracking.”

The two vehicles use Paneltex’s ‘ Flexi-Temp’ bulkhead system with double seals and a high impact finish. This provides a fully sealed, thermally efficient, partition wall between the two compartments.

The vehicles are also specified with two apertures in which to fit the bulkhead, giving full multi-compartment flexibility.

Refrigeration is provided by a Thermoking V300 Max Spectrum dual evaporator refrigeration unit while Paneltex Somers also includes a Superfreeze Foldback side load door and Superfreeze rear door mouldings, and a recessed fridge condenser moulding.
