Optimal load securing for refrigerated vehicles

New and absolutely safe:
Integrated solutions for load securing in refrigerated vehicles
Integrated rails in the new FIP structure are fully recessed and tear-resistant
Kiesling Fahrzeugbau GmbH produces high-quality refrigerated box bodies at its plant in Dornstadt near Ulm. The FIP ( Fully Integrated Panel ) bodies are manufactured using a special process that integrates rails for load securing directly into the entire refrigerated body.
The elements fit together precisely and are virtually seamless. Foaming the panels creates high-strength, stable walls with anchor rails firmly interlocked in the foam, which are extremely tear-resistant even under heavy loads. Tests have confirmed this with a tensile force of over 1,000 kg.
Perforated strips are also integrated directly into the panel in the ceiling and floor, making them stable and flush.
What are the benefits of refrigerated vehicles with FIP bodies?
The new FIP bodies are the only bodies with fully integrated rails and slats for load securing. Fully integrated, meaning built into the panel rather than with slats attached, is advantageous regardless of whether roll containers, pallets, or crates are being transported. This ensures that both horizontal and vertical rails are flush, and the floor, ceiling, and walls have a flat surface.
1. Internal width 2480 mm – no reduction of width due to anchor rails
Attached anchor rails reduce the body's interior width, often resulting in a compromise in insulation thickness. The Kiesling FIP body makes no compromises and offers an optimal interior width of up to 2480 mm with maximum insulation. This is especially appreciated by users of multi-compartment vehicles.
2. Integrated, tear-proof: variably usable JF rail
The optional JF rail is also flush-mounted and tear-proof. As an additional benefit, a new rail is installed here, offering greater flexibility when changing load carriers. While today's roll containers are secured with JF clamping levers, tomorrow's pallets or other loads can also be secured with locking bars or lashing straps.
All via a rail, which also allows the clamping levers for roll containers to be positioned continuously.
3. Perforated rails in the roof
For vertical load securing with locking bars, perforated rails are fully recessed into the roof. This makes positioning the locking bars easy. Furthermore, the locking bars are firmly locked into the perforated rails, providing a positive fit. A major advantage is that the securing system remains stable even on damp, icy roofs and cannot slip, as can happen with clamping bars.
A clever additional benefit: The perforated rail can also be used as a guide rail for a partition wall system, allowing, for example, the easy retrofitting of a Cool Slide wall.
4. Floor perforated rails – completely flat – easier rolling with all trolleys
Locking rods are inserted vertically into floor rails and locked securely and positively. Fully recessed perforated rails make work easier!
Uneven floors are annoying and costly when loading and unloading. The fully integrated perforated floor rails in the FIP refrigerated box allow wheels to run smoothly, and roll containers can be easily pushed over them.
This not only makes it easier to move roll containers or pallet trucks, but also protects them and causes less wear and tear.
Load securing is an important issue during transport. Good load securing helps prevent damage and promotes road safety. Therefore, the equipment in the refrigerated body must be tailored to the transport volume. FIP Fully Integrated Panel® bodies offer flexible and variable options for transporting refrigerated loads more effectively and securely to their destination.
