An ISUZU Box Truck Shipped to Costa Rica

We shipped this ISUZU box-truck order to Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica, in March 2025. The configuration used a 5,800 mm wheelbase and cargo-body dimensions of 7,930 × 2,500 × 2,620 mm.

The body was specified in fiberglass-reinforced plastic with thermal insulation. That construction is a useful detail when comparing enclosed-body offers: the body material and insulation should be stated separately from any active cooling equipment.

The dimensions here describe the specified body. For a new cargo layout, ask for the finished internal dimensions and clear door openings before plotting pallets or other goods.

The order uses an ISUZU 6HK1-TCG61 engine with a stated maximum power of 240 CV, paired with a transmission offering eight forward gears and two reverse gears. The tyre specification is 295/80R22.5 18PR.

Air conditioning, a rear camera and reversing radar were included in the configuration. These items belong in the written vehicle specification when comparing offers, particularly where cab and body equipment come from different parts of the supply package.

Insulation slows heat transfer through a body. Active refrigeration adds the ability to remove heat under its specified operating conditions. If your cargo requires a controlled temperature, make that requirement explicit rather than assuming an insulated box alone will provide it.

Give the cargo’s loading temperature, permitted transport conditions, route duration and expected door-opening pattern. Those details determine whether a passive arrangement is suitable or whether the quotation needs a refrigeration system and temperature monitoring.

For general enclosed-cargo work, the same body discussion should cover doors, seals, floor duty and cleaning access. Specify what the goods need from the body before selecting equipment.

The rear view shows the double-door layout used as a reference for this body type. For your loading plan, include packaging, pallet supports and clearance needed by the handling equipment.

A long body can have free space while an axle or the completed vehicle has reached its allowed mass. Provide the weight and position of heavy cargo, and consider how that distribution changes after part of a delivery is removed.

The loading method also affects the choice between an enclosed body and a dropside arrangement. Describe which sides must be accessible and whether the goods need protection from weather throughout the journey.

For more detail, see Dropside vs box truck: balance loading access and cargo protection.

For another ISUZU box truck, send the cargo dimensions and weight, loading method, destination and the route’s access limits. If thermal protection matters, describe the cargo requirement and delivery conditions rather than requesting insulation by thickness alone.

We can use those inputs to discuss the chassis, body construction and doors with you. The Costa Rica order provides a concrete dimensional reference while the usable space and equipment for your truck are agreed.
