Every route is different, and the Johnson refrigerated truck body is built to handle them all. Designed by Great Dane for exceptional temperature control, durability, and flexibility, it delivers the reliability fleets need for the last mile and beyond.
			Our seamless fiberglass exterior is the first barrier against ambient conditions. The formed fiberglass construction doesn’t conduct heat, helping to increase thermal efficiency, while also providing a smooth surface for decal applications.
			Our heavy-duty truck body mounting system offers secure mounting with reduced maintenance, eliminating U-bolts, U-bolt maintenance, and rot. The mounting system also allows the truck body to be moved to multiple chassis over time, reducing total cost of ownership.
			The floor is supported by steel crossmembers that sit on long stringers for support. Floor sills are completely embedded in urethane foam for a lower ground-to-floor height. The sealed protective sub-floor finish protects the crossmembers and insulation from moisture intrusion, impact, and corrosion.
			Our Johnson line offers various extruded aluminum flooring, cargo restraint, shelving, and storage options, providing superior efficiency and durability. Step options are also available, designed with your driver’s safety in mind.
			Custom-engineered automotive-style door handles make it easy for drivers to open and close compartments while eliminating a potential area of corrosion.
			Tailor your exterior lighting to your operational needs and illuminate delivery areas to enhance driver safety and visibility.
			Multiple side door options on both sides give you the flexibility to load and unload exactly how and where you need. Efficiency and access, every stop.
			All-electric cold plate technology delivers precise temperature control that is clean, efficient, and ready for any route.

ThIS truck body is built to protect and insulate. Each body is lightweight and delivers maximum payload and the highest thermal performance rating in the industry.

Read ArticleWhen selecting a refrigerated truck body, consider:
We offer industry-leading quality and innovation in our Johnson refrigerated truck body line, helping our customers increase their productivity and efficiency. Some of our advanced features include:
Great Dane’s Johnson truck bodies can use an all-electric cold plate refrigeration system designed for reliable temperature control in refrigerated truck bodies. This system includes traditional free-hanging cold plates and cold plate blower systems, both with automatic defrost capabilities to ensure steady, consistent temperatures.
The cold plates absorb and store cool energy during the night, gradually releasing it during transport, maintaining stable temperature ranges across multiple zones. This makes the Johnson ideal for transporting goods in fresh, frozen, and deep-frozen applications, providing efficient, energy-saving cooling with fewer moving parts and minimal maintenance.
