Hello, there is a Gazelle, 2007 onwards, 330202 (extended, like 4.25). The task: how to assemble the thermobox yourself (for transporting alcohol, water, etc. in winter) or purchase for a price up to 50,000 of the following dimensions - length and width for 330202, but height 220 is the minimum. can anyone sell?

Put the stove in the booth and make the thermo booth like I'm telling you))

Buy a thick polycarbonate (I think 20 will do) and over an awning to hide this miracle from the eyes of bastards

Polycarbonate material is convenient for smooth or non-smooth bending, by cutting, if necessary, the places of the corresponding ..

There is also a social variant, namely thin plywood and polystyrene between two layers of plywood, on top again with an awning. And a stove or just a copper tube, long along the edges of the body, at your discretion, for the diameter of the hose for the stove, plus a plumbing tap and you will be lucky

I have a factory thermal box, it weighs all 800 kg, probably five polystyrene in a circle.

In frosts I drove roses, 1000 km, not one died. For control, the water bottle was not frozen in more than 15 hour hike. On the floor, a felt mat spread, there are boards covered with one and a half millimeter tin.

Of course, polystyrene is preferable and not dense, but grainy, for which is softer, there is more air and in any frosts, sit down with a booty, you will feel the warmth

Even a schoolboy knows. The denser the better.

Sandwich panels are probably pressed from neuy.

here is the height of 220 minimum. can anyone sell?

for alcohol why so much? you need to heat a lot

most likely a person is looking at the future. now alcohol, then refrigerators

I ran into this myself, went to the tent, they said let's have a booth, and even a thermo, and a load. plastic parts (bumpers, fenders, hoods). I bought a second car, half a year has passed, they say, let's say 4 meters long.

Dima734 noticed exactly - today alcohol and water, tomorrow IKEA furniture, and the day after tomorrow refrigerators. So just to do something almost from scratch for all occasions. there are no specific drawings or numbers for panels, materials - quantity and volume? although the topic with a stove proposed by OOH is very interesting and it is interesting to learn more about it (tube materials, how to bring, etc.)

Kaverz read the adjacent topics - "Stretcher platform painting" and "Making a stretcher" forma-pokraska / nie-podramnika / there I and many others described the construction of a platform and a frame

frankly speaking, with such a question it is cheaper to buy a ready-made one. everything is standard, but if the question has already arisen how, and there is nothing to extricate from the standard, accordingly you will not do it yourself, but for the assembly somewhere you will take more than buying a ready-made one, then why? and if you just have an awning platform, and you yourself will redo it, then it will also not be a budget option, the documents are not cheap.

at the company buy and deliver, it will be cheaper, faster, and more reliable. count up one welding by yourself, there without interruption in two, so that it does not fall apart and according to technology, work for a week

Clearly, please advise where is the best place to see the booths? Of course, as close as possible to Krasnodar or with delivery

Today, refrigeration equipment on the Gazelle is installed by many owners of these wonderful commercial vehicles. Often, this is due to the desire not only to improve the functionality of the body, but also to significantly increase your income from cargo transportation.

If you have a flatbed car, then, first of all, you should attend to the thermal booth. You can buy ready-made (including used ones), or you can weld the frame yourself. You will need a profile pipe 50x50x2 mm (12 meters) and 50x25x2 mm (24 meters). Optimal dimensions for installation on board: 3.2 x 2.0 x 2.0 meters. The money for the material is about 4,000 rubles. Here's what we end up with:

Russian manufacturer of refrigerated trucks.
The principle of operation is the same as that of Zanotti. A significant difference is that it does not work from a 220V network with a standard delivery set.

The cooled volume is from 11 to 16 cubic meters.(a lower value is at minus 20 degrees, a larger value is at 0 degrees). All units are imported, in fact, only Russian housings and assembly. Quite a decent option on a limited budget. We found a used ear kit from 30,000 rubles.

If you decide to order a turnkey installation of refrigeration equipment on a Gazelle, the most correct solution would be to contact an official dealer of the brand of refrigerators you have chosen. This will save you from problems with spare parts and warranty service of equipment, and also implies professional installation of all units.

If you like the installation of equipment with your own hands, approach the issue with all seriousness, try to get the advice of an experienced specialist, or at least study the basic principles of refrigeration technology.

The main purpose of insulated vans is to transport goods that require compliance with a certain temperature regime necessary to ensure the safety of the original quality and presentation of the transported cargo.

No matter how reliable the vans are, without timely and high-quality repairs, they serve much less than their owners want. Repairing the van will help prevent problems and unnecessary material costs associated with poor-quality transportation of goods.

Research and Production Enterprise "MODUL" has all the necessary equipment for the modernization and repair of vans of any brands. All work is carried out by highly qualified professionals using modern materials and quality fittings.

Specialists of SPE "MODUL" have extensive experience in carrying out restoration work and repair of vans and semi-trailers of famous world brands. Restoration of panels is carried out using European technologies and materials similar to the original, which allows us to guarantee high quality repairs.

We offer our clients the following repair services:

Repair and replacement of composite sandwich panels;
Steel frame repair;
Portal repair;
Replacement of fittings;

Repair of floors;
Replacement of sealing profiles.

General characteristics of composite panels of the "SPE" MODUL "company:

We make analogues of panels Schmitz, Lamberet, Chereau, KOGEL, KRONE, etc.
Strength... The panel has equidirectional strength and surpasses other panels in strength characteristics due to the use of fiberglass ;
Durability... The panel is composite, no molding technology or plywood is used, the panel does not dry out, does not crumble, does not accumulate moisture, the service life is over 10 years;
Ease... One square meter of our 50 mm thick composite panel weighs about 7 kg, panels from other manufacturers weigh from 10 kg .;
Isothermal... There is a layer in the panel that reduces the influence of the infrared component (sun) on isothermality, therefore, with equal panel thicknesses, the thermal conductivity of the panel is lower. The heat transfer coefficient of an isothermal van from our panels is 0.40 W / m²K with an average value in the industry of 0.5 W / m²K;
Price... In a combination of price / quality, the NPP MODUL panel is one of the most efficient panels on the market, our panel on 30-35% cheaper.

An insulated van is essentially a thermos on wheels. The equipment of the van also depends on what we want to get in the end.

Installation of refrigerated refrigerators

We need a refrigerated truck - we are installing a refrigeration unit. In our company, you can install a refrigerated truck from trusted manufacturers Zanotti (Italy) and TerraFrigo (Russia) with a guarantee.

Manufacturing and installation of isothermal partitions

It is necessary to carry out separately different-temperature cargo, - we manufacture and install an isothermal partition, and if we also change the proportion of the volumes of the internal compartments, we make it mobile.

The logistics are such that there are short gaps between the unloading points - we install flexible vinyl curtains.

We want to extend the life of the refrigerator and, accordingly, reduce the consumption of fuels and lubricants - we make vinyl curtains mobile.

And with consistent unloading, we move the curtains in the direction of decreasing the working volume of the van. Due to this, the refrigeration unit, receiving a reduced working volume, reaches the set temperature faster. Consequently, the compressor is switched off more frequently and the load on the engine and generator is reduced.

Side door insert

Side unloading required - install a side door. The configuration, size and material are determined by the customer's choice.

The specialists of Thermo Trans Service company will calculate and implement any project of separate transportation and maintenance of temperature conditions.

You buy or already have a working car, and the customer demanded a change in the temperature regime of transportation and there was a need for separate transportation, - there is a solution.

We will manufacture and install an isothermal partition for you.

Execution options are different both in configuration and in cost.

Refrigerated truck manufacturers have refrigeration units with the function of maintaining different temperature conditions in divided volumes.

This type of HOU maintains a set temperature value in separate compartments.

For example, the Zanotti Uno100 MultiTemp.

You can also use a conventional refrigeration unit. In this case, cooled air can be supplied to the remote compartment using a temperature-controlled fan. It is the same to carry out heating with the help of an additionally installed air heater, both dependent and there is no heater.

All-metal vans based on light duty trucks are also used as refrigerated trucks.

Here are examples of work performed by our specialists:

Over time, any thing falls into disrepair and wears out. This also happens with isothermal vans. Traffic accidents are no exception.

Repair, restoration of vans

All this leads to the impossibility of operation and safety of transportation.

Thermo Trans Service company provides repair of insulated vans of any complexity.

The side was broken, the subframe was shattered, the rear gate was torn off or rotted, all these issues can be resolved.

The nature of the damage, the amount of work to be done and the cost are calculated upon the delivery of the repair object to the service station or a detailed photo report to the email address:

While the construction equipment market was sagging with the onset of the crisis, the LCV segment more or less remained afloat. Largely thanks to delivery vehicles, because food and medicine always remain the subject of inexhaustible demand. And in order to deliver them suitable for consumption, certain temperature regimes must be maintained during transportation to the place of sale.

Sergey Proskurin, General Director of TPK RusAvtoGid LLC

Manufacturers of isothermal vans offer their products in large quantities for almost any chassis. Though foreign, even domestic. In the old fashioned way, the rigid frame subframe is sheathed with aluminum, laminated plywood, galvanized, clad and stainless steel, reinforced with plastic. In general, what the customer has enough money for. Naturally, insulation is also needed. The cheapest option is polystyrene. True, bodybuilders have recently been abandoning it.

“One of the most common should be called polystyrene foam or extruded polystyrene foam. It is a tough and durable material with a low coefficient of thermal conductivity. In addition, it is resistant to water and other liquids. Polyurethane foam is also often used, which is rightfully recognized as one of the best heat insulators in the industry. Among its main advantages are an impressive service life, frost resistance, and, of course, the most important thing is a very low heat conductivity.At the same time, regardless of the specific choice, it is worth noting that all of the listed materials have proved to be excellent in van building and can withstand operational loads perfectly, ”says Sergey Proskurin, General Director of TPK RusAvtoGid LLC.

With the development of technology, some bodybuilders offer frameless options at all. The van is assembled from monolithic sandwich panels with a thickness of 30 to 150 mm using aluminum profiles, which reduces the weight of the car and eliminates thermal bridges between the panel skins.

To save money on the purchase of cars with thermal boxes, you can put a new van on an existing chassis. A small survey of companies involved in the manufacture of isothermal vans (they also call them "thermos") showed that the cost varies from 53,000 to 600,000 rubles, depending on the size and materials used. You can install it for a fee from the same contractors or on your own. In the latter case, experts advise to be careful when attaching the van subframe to the vehicle chassis frame. The most inexpensive option would be to use stepladders, however, due to poorly attached anti-shear plates in the rear of the frame and a damping wooden block between the truck frame and the subframe of the van body, an unpleasant embarrassment can occur during operation.

It is more reliable to mount the van with brackets. True, you should not skimp on high-quality bolts and damping elements. It is also highly desirable that the rear overhang does not exceed 500 mm. Otherwise, on uneven terrain, the car will cling to the road surface with the body.

Insulated vans with high to mid-range heat transfer coefficients tend to do an excellent job of transporting food around town. Even taking into account traffic jams. But if you need to transport food between settlements or over long distances?

Here you need a thermovan with an installed refrigerator. In fact, it is a refrigeration unit that maintains a predetermined temperature inside the body. There are many varieties of these. Starting from division by power and the possibility of freezing or simply cooling, and ending with multi-temperature for different compartments and defrosting.

By the way, you don't have to buy an entire refrigerated van, but equip an existing isothermal refrigeration unit.

“From the point of view of the regulatory framework, this operation is carried out by registering a vehicle through re-equipment. If we talk about the consequences, then initially in the isothermal van there are no elements for the installation of a refrigeration unit. And when deciding on such an improvement, one must be extremely careful about the choice of the refrigeration unit itself. Its weight and the technical characteristics of the van. Moreover, when installing the refrigerator inside and outside the superstructure, reinforcing plates are used. And their disadvantage is that the formation of a thermal bridge is possible, with all that it implies, as they say, ”warns Sergei Proskurin.

Sergey Proskurin, General Director of TPK RusAvtoGid LLC:
“To extend the life of insulated vans, overloading should be avoided. You also need to pay special attention to the places where the van is attached to the frame. At the joints of the sheets, it is worth paying attention to the condition of the sealant, and the subframe with longitudinal crossbars made of rectangular profiles deserves good protection against corrosion.
