A 10-ton class refrigerated truck for chilled and general temperature-controlled palletised freight, planned around pallet footprint, weight and site access.
A 10-ton refrigerated truck carries chilled palletised freight. The verified reference configuration is a 20-foot insulated box taking up to 14 standard pallets or 18 Euro pallets with a 1-ton tail lift, configuration-dependent and subject to actual dimensions, weights and safe-loading limits.

| Planning item | Reference value | Check before loading |
|---|---|---|
| Box body | 20-foot insulated box | Internal dimensions confirmed for the assigned unit |
| Standard pallets | Up to 14 | Actual footprint and finished height |
| Euro pallets | Up to 18 | Actual footprint and finished height |
| Tail lift | 1-ton rating | Heaviest single handling unit |
| Loading zone | Rear platform area | Firm, level ground and safe standing space |
Capacity figures are configuration-dependent and subject to actual dimensions, weights, packaging and safe-loading limits.
Plan capacity in three separate steps: floor space, stack height and total weight. Standard and Euro pallets occupy different footprints, so the achievable count changes with pallet type. Where the delivery site has no dock, the tail lift becomes the handling method and each unit must sit within its rating.
The consignor supplies the written operating requirement for the product and packaging. That instruction is confirmed at booking and passed to the driver. No temperature is assumed on the consignor's behalf.
Chilled work suits fresh produce, dairy, chilled prepared food and similar freight. Frozen work is planned separately, with its own loading sequence and door-opening discipline, on the 10-ton freezer page.
The verified reference configuration is a 20-foot insulated box with up to 14 standard pallets or 18 Euro pallets and a 1-ton tail lift. All capacity figures are configuration-dependent and subject to actual dimensions, weights, packaging and safe-loading limits.

The verified reference configuration uses a 20-foot insulated box body. Other assigned units may differ, so the internal dimensions are confirmed for the specific booking.
Yes. This page covers chilled and general temperature-controlled palletised work. Frozen palletised distribution is planned separately on the 10-ton freezer truck page.
The reference configuration has a 1-ton tail lift, so the heaviest single handling unit must remain within that rating and the ground behind the vehicle must be firm and level.
