Configuration	Duty and loading pattern	Cargo and temperature use	Route fit	Main advantage	Selection limits and trade-offs
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	Loads beyond the confirmed body space, payload or refrigeration duty
Medium 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	Routes that cannot accommodate the finished truck or loads beyond its approved payload and refrigeration 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	Compare a smaller truck for cost and manoeuvrability on low-volume last-mile rounds; confirm access for the finished vehicle

Matching refrigeration to the cargo and delivery round

Choose a refrigerated truck around the cargo's required temperature and time on the road. The system must meet that duty in the expected climate, including repeated door openings during deliveries. Do not assume a refrigerated body can freeze warm cargo. The food-distribution configuration guide connects those conditions to the route. If goods need different temperatures on the same trip, separate zones need suitable airflow, cooling and monitoring; a divider alone does not provide independent control.

A compact truck may suit frequent urban stops, while a larger body needs suitable access for dock or hub handling. Payload and destination regulations still constrain the duty class. At handover, compare the finished truck and its records with the acceptance conditions agreed for that delivery duty.
