Abstract
A refrigerated truck having a chassis supported by wheels, and a truck body. The truck body is mounted for movement relative to the chassis, between a first position adjacent to the chassis and a second position above the first position. A refrigeration system is mounted on the chassis having discharge and return air ducts in air flow communication with air supply and return air ducts, respectively, associated with the truck body, in the first position of the truck body. Movement of the truck body to the second position automatically and completely separates the air ducts of the truck body from the air ducts of the refrigeration system, while deenergizing the refrigeration system.
