How to Choose A Refrigerated Truck That Fits Your Needs

With rising temperatures and the rapid development of cold chain logistics, refrigerated trucks are becoming increasingly important in today's market. Choosing the right refrigerated truck requires careful consideration of three core components: chassis, refrigerated compartment and refrigeration unit, each of which is critical to ensuring the vehicle performs optimally for your specific transportation needs.

Refrigerated truck

Chassis selection: the foundation of refrigerated trucks

The chassis is the backbone of refrigerated trucks, and its selection is mainly based on cargo capacity and transportation distance. Light truck chassis are ideal for short-distance transportation, while heavy-duty chassis or semi-trailers are more suitable for medium- and long-distance transportation with heavier loads. Buyers are faced with the choice of sourcing the chassis themselves or entrusting the refrigerated truck manufacturer to purchase it. Contrary to popular belief, manufacturers often obtain better prices by establishing good cooperative relationships with chassis suppliers, while also ensuring the best modification compatibility. This professional approach usually provides a more suitable and economical chassis solution for refrigerated truck production. Here we recommend the chassis of ISUZU.

ISUZU Refrigerated truck

Refrigerated compartment: Tailored to your cargo needs

Refrigerated compartments need to be carefully configured according to the specific cargo characteristics. Special modifications include stainless steel meat hooks for transporting fresh meat, ventilated floor walkways for long and thin items, or multi-functional designs for frequent loading and unloading operations. While some consider converting standard cargo containers into refrigerated units to save costs, this approach has proven to be undesirable. Standard containers are usually made of iron or steel, have poor insulation and are prone to rust, making them fundamentally unsuitable for reliable cold chain applications. Specialized refrigerated compartments use appropriate insulation materials and structural designs to maintain constant temperatures and prevent contamination.

ISUZU ELF Refrigerator truck

Refrigeration Units: The Heart of Temperature Control

Selecting the right refrigeration unit requires consideration of three key factors: power configuration, temperature range, and manufacturing location. Dependent units are economical and suitable for short-distance delivery (within 7 meters), powered by the vehicle engine, but lack performance stability. Self-contained units are equipped with dedicated engines and generators to provide reliable cooling and are not affected by vehicle operation, which is critical for long-distance transportation of more than 7 meters. Temperature requirements determine the choice between deep freeze units (lower temperature, higher cost) and fresh-keeping units (moderate cooling, economical), while budget and performance expectations determine whether to choose imported units (excellent performance) or domestic units (economical). Imported units are particularly good at precise temperature control, especially for demanding applications such as semi-trailer refrigerated transportation.

Installation and Use of Winch on ISUZU Wrecker Truck

Hydraulic winches are an essential part of an ISUZU wrecker trucks, providing critical lifting and pulling capabilities. These winches come in a variety of specifications, from light to heavy duty, and are an indispensable component in wrecker truck operations.

ISUZU ELF Wrecker Truck

The two most common types are worm gear hydraulic winches and planetary gear hydraulic winches, each of which has its own unique advantages:

Worm gear winches: simple design, cost-effective, easy to manufacture, often used in light to medium-duty applications (such as MLJ type hydraulic winches). However, their transmission efficiency is relatively low.

Planetary gear winches: more complex structure, this type of winch has higher torque, larger transmission ratio, and higher efficiency, making it an ideal choice for medium to heavy-duty operations.

ISUZU Flatbed Wrecker Truck

Installation of wrecker winches

Wreckers are usually equipped with one or two winches, which can be centrally mounted or offset mounted depending on design requirements. Proper installation and wire rope management are essential to ensure safe and efficient operation. Here are the key guidelines:

Double Deck Wrecker Truck

Pre-installation inspection

3. Verify hydraulic connection: After installation, confirm that the hydraulic lines are connected correctly, the clutch engages/disengages smoothly, and the drum rotates smoothly.

ISUZU Flatbed Wrecker

Wire rope installation and calibration

Rope anchoring: Insert the end of the rope into the anchor hole of the drum and tighten it with a screw.

Pretensioning: Under no-load conditions, wrap 4-5 rope loops around the drum and then apply 3-5 kN of tension to ensure proper installation.

Calibration: The rope must be fed into the drum at an angle of no more than 3° to prevent misalignment and uneven force.

Anti-slip measures: When the winch is idling, be sure to enable the rope pressure device to prevent the rope from loosening or winding.

ISUZU ELF Wrecker Truck

Operational safety and maintenance

Run-in period: Before heavy-load use, the winch should be run without load to allow the hydraulic motor to run-in.

Load Limits: Never exceed the rated capacity of the winch - overloading can cause mechanical failure and accidents.

Clutch Safety: Do not disengage the clutch during lifting or pulling. Ensure that at least 5 rope loops remain on the drum during operation.

Proper installation, calibration, and maintenance of hydraulic winches are critical to the performance and safety of the tow truck. Following these guidelines ensures reliable operation, extends the life of the equipment, and minimizes risks during rescue missions.

 

Introduction of Four Main Parts of ISUZU Garbage Compactor Truck

ISUZU Garbage Compactor Truck compactors are essential garbage transfer vehicles in urban environments, with high transportation efficiency and safe and convenient operation. The upper body of this type of special vehicle consists of four key structural components: garbage bin, bucket assembly, barrel mechanism and hydraulic system, which all play a vital role in the garbage compression and transportation process.

Compact garbage truck

1. Garbage bin structure

The garbage bin is the main load-bearing unit. The large compactor is made of durable 16Mn steel plate (8mm, 5mm and 4mm thickness respectively) and reinforced with 16-gauge low-alloy channel steel; the standard model uses 12-gauge low-alloy channel steel with 5mm/4mm steel plates. This optimized steel frame combines lightness and structural integrity, maximizing internal capacity while lowering the center of gravity. The bottom channel steel is both the connection base of the structural components and the support platform of the push plate mechanism. The fully sealed bottom design effectively guides corrosive liquids and working water to the dedicated sewage tank, preventing container/chassis corrosion and roadside leakage during transportation. The entire assembly is firmly mounted on the truck chassis through a reinforcing beam connection.

Compress garbage trucks

2. Bucket assembly (waste loader)

The bucket system, as the main loading mechanism, integrates several coordinated components: a rigid frame skeleton with guide rails, a curved bucket, a scraping element, and a special slide equipped with eight high-strength, low-friction rollers on each side. These rollers enable smooth micro-vibration, which significantly reduces guide rail wear during long-term operation. The assembly contains a negative pressure plate and a lightweight cover layer to improve operating efficiency. At its bottom, a special sewage collection box automatically collects liquid waste during compaction and can be drained fully automatically or manually during unloading. This comprehensive design ensures reliable waste intake while maintaining clean operation.

4. Hydraulic Power System

The hydraulic system is at the heart of the compaction truck’s operation and includes a large-capacity fuel tank, multi-stage filtration system, gear-driven oil pump, precision multi-channel control valves, check valves, heavy-duty cylinders, and an enhanced pipe network. Power comes from the truck’s main engine and is transmitted through a power take-off (PTO) that drives a hydraulic gear pump. This carefully designed system delivers the powerful power required for waste compaction and mechanical component operation while maintaining energy efficiency. The integration of specialized valves and controls allows for precise management of compaction cycles and component movement, ensuring optimal performance during demanding collection routes.

ISUZU GIGA Garbage truck

These four integrated systems work together to provide municipalities with an efficient waste management solution that combines rugged construction and practicality. From the corrosion-resistant waste bin to the wear-minimized bucket assembly to the powerful and precise hydraulic system, each component has been carefully designed to balance performance requirements with long-term durability. This comprehensive approach enables refuse collection vehicles to meet the demanding requirements of an urban environment while maintaining high operational efficiency and reliability.
