REFRIGERATED BODIES BUILT TO LAST

Refrigerated bodies are our core focus at Jacksons, and we began building them in the 1950’s, meaning we have more experience than almost any other company in the UK. This means we know what works and what doesn’t, what the pros and cons are of most types of vehicle set-ups, and how to help our customers design a vehicle that suits their needs perfectly.

We combine this extensive knowledge with the latest modern technologies and a thirst for innovation, all of which helps us build what we believe is the best range of refrigerated bodies available in the UK. We also offer a wide range of aerodynamic bodywork options which can be found here.

All our refrigerated bodies:

Are made made from strong, durable but lightweight materials
Are constructed to the highest and strictest quality standards
Can be built with 5 or 3 element panels depending on whether strength or weight is your priority
Achieve excellent payloads
Have wet laid floors to form a watertight tray
Have extremely low 'life costs' as they are so much more durable than others available
Will outlast almost any other body available
Can be easily bodyswapped onto a second and even third chassis

N1 VEHICLES (UP TO 3.5T)

Agile, versatile & light

3.5t box bodies have significantly grown in popularity over the past few decades as developments in manufacturing methods and materials have facilitated great improvements in payloads.

These vehicles are made to be highly manoeuvrable and flexible in their use, and with the right body specification can be extremely versatile in what they carry.

N2 VEHICLES (4T - 12T)

Hardworking & robust

N2 vehicles have become the workhorse of the industry. At the lower end (4t – 7t) they can often provide similar benefits in terms of size/manoeuvrability to N1 vehicles, but carry much more product.

At the larger end (7.5t – 12t) they can offer strength and longevity similar to bigger vehicles without operators having to incur the greater expense of an N3.

WHAT MAKES

Our Bodies Better

WE'LL HELP YOU

Design & Build

Not sure what you want from your refrigerated bodies? No problem. We pride ourselves on offering our Design & Build service to help you end up with vehicles that suit your operation perfectly, and the ideal refrigerated bodies for your situation. We’ll guide you through every step of the way, from first even thinking about buying a new vehicle, to having it on the road and ready to use.

First Meeting

Requirement Analysis

We'll visit your site and assess your operation to determine what sort of refrigerated bodies would suit you best. We'll discuss with you various aspects of your workflow, including whether your goods are palletised or otherwise, how you load your vehicles, how many temperature zones you need, how your drivers unload the vehicle when making deliveries, and more.

First Meeting

Second Meeting

Ideas & Recommendations

Once we understand how you operation works, we'll start generating some ideas on vehicle layouts and systems. We believe there is never a one-size-fits-all, so we'll provide you with multiple options so you can pick what you think works best. We'll also happily recommend suitable ancillary equipment like tail lifts if you need them.

Second Meeting

Third Meeting

Design & Tweak

Once you've picked an option, we'll start the proper design work. We'll check every dimension down to the last millimetre, and can provide you with CAD drawings to help you truly visualise what the final vehicle will look and feel like. At this stage we can discuss any amendments you might feel are necessary. Once happy, you sign off the final design and we can put it into production.

Third Meeting

Final Meeting

Handover

Once completed, we'll visit your site again to officially handover the vehicle. We'll show you how it works, talk you through the best practices for maintaining it, and answer any questions you might have.
