CKD kits using Sub Zero's DuoShield Metal skin technology
CKD Kits are designed for operators, assemblers, and OEMs seeking a simpler and faster way to build refrigerated truck bodies without compromising on quality. Supplied as pre-engineered, cut to size kits, they enable predictable, efficient assembly with consistent results across locations.
Whether transporting food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or other sensitive perishables, these refrigerated bodies deliver reliable insulation performance over long distances. The CKD format allows fleets to support multi-temperature routes, handle mixed cargo, and scale operations quickly by assembling bodies locally at significantly lower cost.
By reducing logistical complexity and simplifying on-site assembly, CKD Kits enable local employment and faster deployment without the need for highly specialised fabrication skills.
Sub Zero's CKD Kits combine engineered sandwich panels, modular construction, and quick-assembly principles to deliver durable and efficient refrigerated solutions. Our DuoShield Metal Skin panels provide strength, lightweight build, and excellent thermal insulation, while the modular, mistake-proof design with minimal components ensures faster assembly and fewer errors.
Sub Zero supports the assembly process with detailed documents, step-by-step videos, and on-site assistance as needed. The kits are optimally packaged to reduce storage and handling challenges and can be shipped worldwide as well as across India. Semi-skilled operators can assemble an entire vehicle, while trained operators can achieve multiple trucks per day, making these refrigerated trailer bodies ideal for large-volume cold chain logistics where long-term heat preservation and load capacity are critical.

A CKD (Completely Knocked Down) reefer kit is a refrigerated body supplied in unassembled parts, including insulated panels, doors, hardware, and mounting components. It is designed for local assembly on reefer vans or a refrigerated truck.
A CKD reefer kit can reduce shipping costs, simplify transportation, and allow local assembly and customization. Many reefer companies choose CKD kits when building fleets across different regions.
Assembly time depends on the body size, vehicle chassis, and the experience of the installation team. Most CKD reefer kits can be assembled within a few days under proper workshop conditions.
Typical assembly requires standard workshop tools such as drills, riveters, torque wrenches, lifting equipment, sealants, and fastening tools. Sub Zero also provides assembly guidelines for proper installation.
Yes. Sub Zero supplies CKD reefer kits for domestic and international markets, helping fleet operators and body builders assemble refrigerated bodies locally for reefer vans and refrigerated truck applications.
CKD (Completely Knocked Down): The vehicle body is shipped as individual parts for complete local assembly.
SKD (Semi Knocked Down): The body is shipped in partially assembled modules that require limited assembly.
CBU (Completely Built Unit): The body is delivered fully assembled and ready for installation or use.
While CKD and SKD are commonly used for refrigerated bodies, similar assembly concepts may also apply to other vehicle bodies, including dry freight solutions used on a dry freight truck.
The cost of a reefer body depends on the vehicle chassis, body size, insulation specifications, and refrigeration unit selected. As a general estimate, 10-foot reefer bodies typically start from around ₹3 lakh, while larger heavy-duty configurations can exceed ₹10 lakh. The final cost varies based on customization, temperature requirements, and the intended application.
