Butchers are one of the biggest groups of customers we sell to. Whether you run a high-street shop, a wholesale round to restaurants and pubs, or a farm shop doing home deliveries, you need a van that keeps meat cold from the cutting room to the customer’s door, on every drop of the day.
Chiller vans built for meat
Most butchers choose a chiller van. Every conversion has a fully insulated load space with a hygienic, easy-to-clean interior, and a fridge unit that holds chilled temperatures right through a busy round. If you carry frozen lines as well, we can supply a freezer van, or a dual-temperature van with a bulkhead between a chilled and a frozen compartment.
Options that suit a butcher’s round
- Drain hole, so the load floor can be washed out properly at the end of the day.
- Curtains across the doorway, to keep the cold in while the doors are open on each drop.
- Fixed partition or moveable bulkhead, to split the load space, for example meat at the back and dry goods at the front.
- Load lock rails along both side walls, to strap trays and crates in place.
- LED lights in the load space, for early-morning loading.
- Kick strips and a tread plate door lip, to protect the door edges from crates and trolleys.
- A side loading door, so you can reach the front of the load without unloading the back.
- A calibration certificate for the temperature display, for your food safety paperwork.
Small, medium or large
We sell chiller vans from small vans like the Citan, Kangoo and Transit Connect, through medium vans like the Transit Custom, Trafic and Vito, up to large vans like the Sprinter, Master and Crafter. A small van suits a shop doing local deliveries; wholesale butchers carrying full loads to trade customers usually go medium or large. Meat is heavy, so we help you choose by looking at the inside size after conversion and the payload, not just the size of the van.
New and used, with finance
We keep new and used chiller vans in stock and ready to go, and we can build one to order. We offer competitive finance for business and personal customers, take part exchanges, and can arrange delivery anywhere in the UK.
