Guide to choosing aluminum panel thickness for refrigerated truck compartments in Australia

A.Importance of aluminum plate thickness of refrigerated truck compartment

The thickness of aluminum plate of refrigerated truck compartment directly affects its heat preservation performance, durability and load capacity. Choosing the right thickness can:

Improve the heat preservation effect and reduce energy consumption.

Enhance the structural strength of the compartment and extend its service life.

Adapt to different models and functional requirements.

B. Refrigerated truck needs in different regions of Australia

Australia has a wide area and diverse climate, but the choice of aluminum thickness for refrigerated truck compartments mainly depends on vehicle models and functions, not on regional differences. The following is a specific analysis:

C. Recommended aluminum thickness for different vehicle models

1. Light reefer trucks (under 3.5 tons)

Recommended thickness: 1.2 mm - 1.5 mm

Reason:

Light trucks are less load-bearing, 1.2 mm - 1.5 mm aluminum plate is sufficient to meet the strength requirements.

Thinner aluminum plate can reduce the weight of the body and improve fuel efficiency.

2. Medium Duty Refrigerated Vehicle (3.5 tons - 7.5 tons)

Recommended thickness: 1.5 mm - 2.0 mm

Rationale:

Medium sized trucks carry more weight and need stronger structural support.

1.5 mm - 2.0 mm aluminum plate ensures strength while maintaining a low weight.

3. Heavy duty refrigerated trucks (over 7.5 tons)

Recommended thickness: 2.0 mm - 2.5 mm

Rationale:

Heavy duty vehicles require higher structural strength and durability.

2.0 mm - 2.5 mm aluminum plate can withstand greater loads and more frequent use.

D. Recommended Aluminum Plate Thicknesses for Different Functions of Refrigerated Trucks

1. City distribution refrigerated trucks

Recommended thickness: 1.2 mm - 1.5 mm

Rationale:

City delivery trucks usually have smaller loads and shorter driving distances.

Thinner aluminum plate can reduce cost and improve fuel efficiency.

2. Long-haul refrigerated trucks

Recommended thickness: 1.5 mm - 2.0 mm

Rationale:

Long-haul trucks require higher durability and insulation.

1.5 mm - 2.0 mm aluminum panels can withstand the vibration and loads of long-distance driving.

3. Ultra-low temperature refrigerated trucks

Recommended thickness: 2.0 mm - 2.5 mm

Rationale:

Ultra-low temperature refrigerated trucks require better insulation and structural strength.

2.0 mm - 2.5 mm aluminum plate can effectively reduce heat loss and strengthen the compartment structure.

E. User Evaluation

1. Sydney Distribution Company - John

“We are very happy with the 15% improvement in fuel efficiency of our light duty refrigerated trucks using 1.5 mm aluminum panels!”

2. Melbourne Logistics - Sarah

“The 2.0 mm aluminum medium duty reefer trucks are very stable over long distances, recommended!”

3. Brisbane Frozen Foods - Mike

“The 2.5 mm aluminum plate ultra-low temperature reefer is very well insulated and the quality of cargo is guaranteed.”
