Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about refrigerated truck financing, cold chain operations, and ROI expectations.
What is refrigerated truck financing?
Refrigerated truck financing is a specialized equipment loan that enables cold chain logistics operators to acquire temperature-controlled vehicles for transporting perishable goods. This includes financing for the truck chassis, refrigeration unit (Carrier, Thermo King), and temperature monitoring systems.
How much does it cost to finance a refrigerated truck in Malaysia?
A 1-ton refrigerated truck costs RM 120,000-180,000, 3-ton trucks cost RM 200,000-280,000, and 5-ton trucks cost RM 300,000-450,000. With 20% down payment, monthly installments range from RM 2,000-7,500 depending on loan term (5-7 years) and your credit profile.
What temperature range do refrigerated trucks maintain?
Standard refrigerated trucks maintain temperatures from -25Β°C (frozen foods) to +5Β°C (fresh produce). Multi-temperature units can maintain different zones: frozen (-18Β°C), chilled (0-5Β°C), and ambient (15-20Β°C) in the same vehicle.
How long does refrigerated truck financing approval take?
Pre-approval within 24-48 hours, full approval within 5-7 working days. Faster than traditional banks (3-4 weeks). We understand cold chain business urgency, especially during peak seasons like CNY, Ramadan, and year-end.
Can I finance a used refrigerated truck?
Yes, we finance used refrigerated trucks up to 10 years old. Vehicle must pass mechanical inspection and refrigeration unit performance test. Used truck financing requires 25-30% down payment vs. 15-20% for new units.
What documents are required for refrigerated truck financing?
Required: IC/passport, 3-6 months bank statements, EPF statements, business registration (if company), existing vehicle registration (if any), supplier quotation. For pharmaceutical logistics: GDP certification or application proof.
Is HACCP certification required for refrigerated truck financing?
HACCP certification is not mandatory for financing approval, but it increases approval chances and secures better rates. HACCP-certified operators qualify for premium contracts (supermarkets, pharmaceuticals) which strengthens repayment capability.
What is the ROI on refrigerated truck investment?
With supermarket contracts: 18-24 months payback. Fresh produce distribution: 24-30 months. Pharmaceutical cold chain: 15-20 months (premium rates). Average daily revenue: RM 400-800 per truck. Peak seasons (CNY, Ramadan) can double monthly income.
Can self-employed fresh produce traders get refrigerated truck financing?
Yes, we specialize in self-employed and SME financing. Requirements: 2+ years in fresh produce business, consistent income proof (bank statements), existing customer contracts (preferred but not mandatory), industry references from Selayang/Klang markets.

Yes, we finance complete cold chain solutions including GPS tracking (RM 800-1,500), temperature data loggers (RM 500-2,000), and installation costs. These systems are essential for HACCP compliance and premium contracts.
What is the typical loan term for refrigerated truck financing?
Standard terms: 5-7 years for new trucks, 3-5 years for used trucks. Longer terms (up to 7 years) reduce monthly installments but increase total interest. We recommend matching loan term to your contract length for optimal cash flow.
