The advertised truck at a glance

Details checked on 6 October 2026. Quote seller stock 330079 or advertisement DL52343 when making an enquiry.

A practical starting point for temperature-controlled deliveries

A refrigerated truck is a vehicle to explore when your delivery brief includes temperature-controlled goods. The useful starting point is your cargo: the products, loading temperature, required transport conditions and number of stops. Share those details with the seller to match the advertised equipment to your intended service.

For a delivery business, a clear route brief makes the buying conversation more productive. Include depot arrangements, receiving sites, access space and loading methods. That gives the seller concrete information to work with when discussing the vehicle and its refrigeration system.

Thermo King T-600R cooling: discuss the complete delivery cycle

The seller identifies the fitted unit as a Thermo King T-600R with diesel and electric operation. Ask how both modes are used on this vehicle, what electrical connection is required at your depot and which operating instructions accompany it.

Build the cooling discussion around the whole journey: preparation at the depot, loading, travel and unloading. Request the unit service records, temperature-control information and a demonstration for the intended duty. For cargo requiring certification, include the relevant transport documentation in that enquiry.

Tail lift and body access for delivery planning

The 1,500 kg Bar Cargolift is a useful feature to include in your loading plan. Discuss the lift’s rating information and instructions alongside the combined weight of the goods and handling equipment you intend to use. Ask the seller to demonstrate its controls during the vehicle handover.

The rear photograph shows the cargo doors, folded lift and a side access door. Review these access points against your delivery sequence. Ask for confirmed usable loading dimensions and interior photographs when planning pallet positions or other cargo arrangements.

Manual control and a delivery-focused cab

The six-speed manual gearbox gives the driver direct gear selection. The listing also includes air conditioning and cruise control. Bring the proposed route into the conversation, then request a vehicle demonstration so the person responsible for driving it can become familiar with its controls.

For fleet planning, collect the registration documents, service information and operator instructions in one handover pack. Include the refrigeration and lift documentation so the whole vehicle can be introduced clearly to the team.

Verified safety equipment and manufacturer information

The seller explicitly lists ABS and ASR. ABS helps manage wheel lock during braking, while ASR helps control driven-wheel spin. The advertised truck also has disc brakes and heated electric mirrors. Confirm the vehicle-specific equipment and instructions during your enquiry and handover.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ current Atego page describes the range’s available Top Brake engine-braking system as a safety feature. This is manufacturer range context; it does not establish that this 2011 truck has that system. Read the manufacturer’s Atego information.
