How It Works
At Celsius, we don’t just build refrigerated van conversions, our team create purpose-built, environmentally responsible solutions designed for everyday reliability and long-term value.
Our Sustainable Approach to Refrigerated Van Conversions
Our skilled team, working out of our specialist Lancashire facility, transforms standard vans into high-performance, custom-cooled commercial vehicles fit for purpose and longevity.
We only use lightweight insulation panels made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. Our panels are fully recyclable at the end of their life and offer superior thermal performance without cost to the environment.
At Celsius, our conversions never include wood, fibreglass, GRP sheet or metal. This not only makes them lighter but also more efficient and better for the planet.
We are committed to using materials and methods that support long-term sustainability and reduce our carbon footprint.
Step-by-Step: Our Freezer and Fridge Van Conversions
Whether you are looking to convert a van to refrigerated for chilled goods, frozen deliveries or dual-compartment use, our step-by-step process ensures that every conversion meets operational needs while reducing environmental impact.
Initial Consultation
Every refrigerated van conversion starts with a detailed consultation. We take the time to understand your industry, delivery routes, access requirements, and load expectations to help identify the best base vehicle and refrigeration setup.
Our experienced team will recommend a system that suits your business model to ensure you get the right performance, layout, thermal zoning and meet compliance requirements specific to your industry. We regularly work with sectors including food logistics, pharmaceutical distribution and agriculture, giving us a strong understanding of each sector’s operational and regulatory requirements.
Bespoke Design and Layout Planning
Once clear goals have been defined, our team moves to the design phase. No two fridge van conversions are the same. We customise everything from access points and shelving to refrigeration zones and finishes.
During the planning stage, our team carefully considers everything from payload weight, door positions, floor drainage and target temperature ranges. We can also incorporate dual-temperature options and electric standby systems for operations requiring flexibility or overnight cooling.
Sustainable Insulation Installation
At Celsius, we are committed to sustainable practices and products. We exclusively use high-performance, plastic-based insulation panels manufactured from 100% recycled plastic bottles. Our materials are fully recyclable at the end of their life and deliver excellent thermal efficiency for a refrigerated van conversion.
Refrigeration Unit Installation
Our skilled team of refrigerated van convertors fit reliable systems with optional standby modes to suit exacting cooling needs, including setups suitable for reefer vans and multi-compartment setups with frozen and chilled sections. We also offer stand-by options, which are ideal for fleets operating overnight or in low-emission zones.
Final Testing and Handover
Before your refrigerated van is delivered, we carry out thorough testing and detailed quality checks. Every vehicle is assessed to confirm it holds the correct temperatures, meets structural and visual standards and complies with all relevant industry regulations.
Fridge Van Conversions
Our fridge van conversions are designed for businesses that need reliable chilled transport without compromising on sustainability. Each van refrigerator is fitted with proven cooling technology and lightweight recycled insulation panels to ensure consistent temperatures for chilled goods. With bespoke layouts and flexible options available, our builds keep products fresh and operations smooth.
Freezer Van Conversions
At Celsius, our freezer vans provide dependable cold chain performance with the same sustainability construction as our chilled conversions. Again, we use recycled insulation panels and a high-performance refrigeration system. Our conversions are engineered to maintain frozen conditions over long journeys.
