Compare refrigerated truck duty classes
Confirm the cargo temperature and route time, then the climate and door-opening frequency. Check payload and destination regulations before choosing the duty class. The truck maintains a validated cold chain; do not assume it can freeze warm cargo.
| Configuration | Duty and loading pattern | Cargo and temperature use | Route fit | Main advantage | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Duty | Compact urban loading and frequent stops | Chilled or frozen parcels and smaller delivery batches | Urban last-mile and local distribution | Access and operating efficiency on constrained routes | High-volume long-haul loads |
| Middle Duty | Balanced load volume and multi-store handling | Regional chilled or frozen distribution | City-to-region and repeated retail delivery | Balances route range, body size and access | The narrowest streets or the heaviest long-haul duty |
| Heavy Duty | High-volume loading with planned dock or hub handling | Large chilled or frozen consignments | Regional trunk routes and hub-to-hub distribution | Supports larger cargo and higher-capacity refrigeration systems | Low-volume, highly congested last-mile work |
