Nobody rings up regretting the extras they bought. They ring up about the ones they didn’t.

1. Slab side door

A standard sliding side door won’t hold freezer temperatures. The slab door replaces it: thicker, properly sealed, and built to hold -18°C and below. If you want side access on a freezer van, this is how you get it.

2. Recessed condenser pod

It sits down into the roofline instead of standing proud. It keeps your height down for car parks and barriers, helps with airflow and fuel, and most people think it looks a lot better too. More on the recessed condenser pod.

3. Pallet protection runners

Aluminium strips set into the floor. Pallets and steel crates slide over those instead of over your floor, and it shows when you come to sell.

Tell us how you actually work and we’ll spec it properly from the start. Call us on 01444 245555.
