Compact and Payload-Friendly These units are designed with payload efficiency in mind. The compact, low-profile dimensions add minimal weight to the vehicle, preserving load capacity without compromising cold chain performance.

Floral and Horticultural Logistics Precise chilled transport for fresh flowers and plants, preserving quality from grower to point of sale.Selecting the right van refrigeration unit depends on several factors: the size of your vehicle, the cargo temperature range you need to maintain, how many stops your routes typically include, and whether you need electric standby capability. The guide below covers the key questions to consider.
What temperature range do you need?
If you are carrying fresh or chilled goods only, the Citifresh range is optimised for this and typically offers the most cost-effective solution. For frozen or multi-temperature requirements, Citimax or Xarios units are the more appropriate choice.
How large is your vehicle?
Carrier LCV units are available across a range of capacities. Smaller vans typically suit the 280 or 350 series units, while larger vehicles or those carrying heavier or mixed loads will benefit from the 400 series or the higher-capacity Citimax D range.
How intensive is your delivery route?
Frequent stops and extended urban routes put more demand on refrigeration equipment. For high-frequency multi-stop operations, selecting a unit with adequate airflow capacity for your cargo volume helps maintain temperature consistency throughout the day.
Do you need electric standby?
Electric standby allows the unit to continue running from mains power while the vehicle is stationary, for example at loading bays or overnight. If your operation requires this, make sure to confirm standby capability when selecting your unit.
Not sure which unit is right for you? Our specialists can review your vehicle specification and delivery requirements and recommend the most suitable option from the Carrier Transicold LCV range.
