Refrigeration Truck 16'

Vehicle overview

When you are hauling temperature-sensitive freight, the truck has to hold temp and keep moving. The 16-foot refrigeration truck is a strong fit for commercial routes that need a smaller reefer footprint, reliable performance, and fast loading support.

This class typically runs at 19,500 GVW and includes a 3-person cab with air conditioning, an automatic transmission, and driver essentials like AM/FM audio. Power steering and power brakes help with confident control on multi-stop days.

In back, the insulated box is designed for chilled and frozen transport, depending on your settings and the product you are moving. Many units include electric standby and self-contained refrigeration systems, helping keep the cold chain consistent at the dock and on the road. A pallet-sized tuck-away liftgate supports quicker loading and unloading when stops are frequent.

We offer flexible rental and leasing options for commercial needs, whether you need coverage for a day, a week, or a longer run. Every unit is inspected between customers and prepped before pickup so you can get checked out quickly and get back to work.

OEM-Isuzu Trucks

Isuzu: Cab-Forward Roots That Fit Reefer Work

Small refrigeration trucks get punished. They run long days, take constant dock hits, and still have to hold temp reliably. That is why this 16-foot reefer category so often lands on Isuzu platforms built around commercial upfits. Isuzu’s cab-forward heritage is a big part of the appeal in this size, and it is why chassis like the NRR show up so often under refrigerated boxes.

OEM-Hino Trucks

Hino: Medium-Duty DNA for Cold Chain Duty Cycles

On the Hino side, the story is medium-duty and vocational builds. The brand is known for commercial-first platforms that are meant to be configured and put straight into rotation. For a 16-foot refrigeration truck, that is exactly the goal, and it is why models like the Hino 195 are such a common foundation in this category.
