Dingang Cold Chain Truck Body Aluminum Panel is a prepainted aluminum solution developed for refrigerated trucks, insulated vans, refrigerated trailers, and cold chain logistics vehicles. Made from 3003 or 5052 aluminum alloy with food-grade PE or PVDF coating, it combines lightweight construction, corrosion resistance, low-temperature performance, and easy fabrication in one panel.

With a working temperature range of -40℃ to 80℃, customized thicknesses from 0.6–3.0 mm, and widths up to 2000 mm, Dingang Metal supplies aluminum panels ready for different refrigerated vehicle body designs.

Why Use Prepainted Aluminum for Refrigerated Truck Bodies?

A refrigerated truck needs a body material that is light enough for efficient transportation but strong and durable enough for daily loading, washing, weather exposure, and long-distance operation.

Aluminum offers a major weight advantage over steel. Its lightweight construction can help reduce vehicle body weight while maintaining the durability required for cold chain transportation.
