Refrigerated vans and freezer vans are a
vital cog in the wheels of many businesses across the UK.
Current health and safety regulations have resulted in more and
more refrigerated vans being used to transport perishable goods
from fish to cakes; flowers to the humble sandwich.
Two types of
conversion are available to you.
Firstly we have the wet
line system.
The Wetline system
The wetline system is the traditional
system. The rear of the van is plylined and the back of the
plylining is insulated. The resin is added to the front of the
plylining giving you a smooth or rough finish dependent on your
requirements.You then choose the refrigeration system.
The advantages of
Wet lining.
When the conversion is complete you are
left with a solid strong work space. The vehicle is easy to wash
out and clean and the surface is hard wearing.
In summary
Wetline conversions should be used when
it is known that the vehicle is likely to undergo very hard
work. Be aware of the time needed for conversion.
We supply all makes and models of van
with wet line conversions. We can fit any make of refrigeration
unit for you.

Secondly we have the dryline system.
So what is different
with this system?
The Coolkit system is
the biggest innovation in refrigerated vehicle converting for
decades. It's light, strong, and quick to install (and also to
remove at the end of the vehicles life). This means high payload
and durability together with more options at vehicle disposal
including re-use of the conversion
 -
all with the fastest turnaround in the industry. The conversion
consists of a number of pre-formed panels installed one at a
time within a fraction of the time and with significantly less
manpower when compared to traditional methods.
Does this method work?
It certainly does. It's
been thoroughly evaluated in all sorts of applications spanning
years of product development- including frozen,
chilled and multi temperature - and it's been the conversion
choice of many fleet operators.
How heavy is it?
It's the lightest on
the market. The linings weigh between 55kg for a car derived van
up to about 225kg for a long wheelbase van (excluding the
refrigeration unit). The light weight is because there is no
timber frame and no plywood used in the side walls. Their choice
of materials including continuous sheet GRP and RTM grade
extruded polystyrene ensure light weight with ample strength.
Which vans do you
convert?
There are linings
available for virtually every van. New and used vans can be
converted. the lining fits the profile of the van perfectly -
requiring only minimal finishing to seal around the edges of the
panels so that the lining becomes waterproof for washing. Every
lining is CNC cut meaning that each one is as good a fit as the
last.
How long to convert?
The length of time
required to carry out the conversion is the shortest in the
industry. It varies from 8 hours for the simplest car-derived
van conversion up to a maximum of 26 hours to convert a large
van to freeze specification. Fridge fitting is on top of this,
adding another 2 days - but even then the largest and most
complex of vehicles can be turned around inside a week. This is
vastly superior to the time taken using wet-lay process.
The advantages of
Dry lining.
Its lighter than wet
lining which increase the payload. It is quicker to install
which help with the lead time. It can be installed into other
similar vehicles after use in the original one.
In summary the
dryline is very good for people concerned with achieving the
maximum payload on their van. The turn around time is also very
good.
