When it comes to urban and regional cold chain distribution, the 26ft reefer box truck with liftgate hits the sweet spot. It’s large enough to carry significant loads of perishable goods, yet compact enough to navigate city streets, tight loading bays, and urban traffic. Add a powered liftgate, and you’ve got a versatile delivery vehicle that makes loading and unloading effortless.

A 26ft reefer truck is typically equipped with a high-efficiency refrigeration unit — often from Carrier, Thermo King, or ISUZU’s in-house refrigeration systems (if applicable to local markets).
The liftgate transforms a standard box truck into a true delivery powerhouse. Whether dropping off at a grocery store, hospital, or private customer, the liftgate ensures safety, speed, and accessibility — no forklift or dock needed.
The 26ft reefer box truck can be mounted on several well-known medium-duty truck chassis platforms. Popular options include:

It’s saved us hours of time and cut labor costs.”
If your business requires regular, mid-volume refrigerated transport with quick and safe loading, the 26ft reefer box truck with liftgate is an ideal solution. Balancing capacity, convenience, and cold chain reliability, it’s the vehicle that keeps your deliveries moving and your cargo fresh — day after day.
