7.5 Tonne Refrigerated Box Trucks for Sale (24)

If you are looking for a refrigerated truck that can be driven on a ‘grandad’s rights’ car driving licence, then a 7.5 tonnes truck has the maximum gross weight that you can consider. A word of warning, however, you will need to be careful regarding the weight you can carry.

A refrigerated body is typically heavier than a standard box body thanks to the additional insulation material in the body and the doors. Add to this the cooling units and motors and you will soon see that the payload reduces rapidly. Add a tail lift and you’ll be lucky to be able to carry a passenger when the fuel tank is full!

It may be worth considering a larger truck – yes, there are implications for who can drive it, but in terms of overall effectiveness of operation a 12 tonne truck will carry more than three times the payload of a 7.5 tonne truck and still looks largely the same size.

Despite this, there are always a good number of used 7.5 tonne fridge trucks for sale here at Truckpages. If payload is likely to be an issue, we would direct you to the trucks with the lighter chassis – the Isuzu and Mitsubishi Fuso brands are strong in this regards and are popular in the 7.5 tonne refrigerated box truck category.
