SWEST units
A Saudi-made unit, built for our roads and our heat
We design and manufacture our vehicle refrigeration units ourselves, with an advanced liquid-technology compressor for high efficiency and stable performance. Full technical specifications are available on request.
SWEST refrigeration units
Drive systems
Direct Drive
Runs the refrigeration unit from the vehicle engine through the vehicle compressor.
Best forIdeal for vans and distribution vehicles
Standby
Runs off the engine while driving and can switch to mains power when the vehicle is parked.
Best forFor distribution with long stops
Independent + Standby
Fitted with its own diesel engine, with the option of running on mains power.
Best forThe best choice for large trucks and long distances
24-month warranty
Covers service and genuine spare parts, with a dedicated technical team in Jeddah.
Operating range
From +8° down to −25°, and one temperature that never drifts.
We calculate cooling capacity for every project in design software, accounting for thermal loads and Saudi summer heat — so goods arrive at the temperature they were loaded at.

How we work
How the conversion works
A clear path from the first call to handover, with a direct line to engineering management at every stage.
- 01
Consultation & requirements
Vehicle type, the goods being carried and the target temperature.
- 02
Cooling capacity calculation
With current design software, accounting for thermal loads and operating conditions.
- 03
Insulation & box fit-out
Fibreglass insulation, sealed doors, frame and lighting.
- 04
SWEST unit installation
According to the chosen drive system: Direct Drive, Standby or diesel.
- 05
Testing & handover
Temperature testing and handover with the warranty certificate.
Vehicles ready for conversion18–21 working days
Central electrical systems25–30 working days
Timing may vary with project type, required specification and the work schedule at contract time.
Van insulation & cooling
What the conversion includes
Insulation is half the refrigeration unit. A box that leaks cold makes the strongest unit work for nothing — so every conversion starts with the frame and the panels, not the machine.
- 01
High-density insulation panels
Fibreglass thermal insulation and panels that hold the ideal temperature for the whole trip.
- 02
Sealed doors
Insulated doors with double gaskets that stop cold loss during frequent opening.
- 03
Steel frame & lighting
A sturdy frame with integrated interior lighting for safe loading at any hour.
- 04
Bumpers & protection
Floor and side protection built for tough daily loading.
Before & after
A cold room before and after
From bare blockwork to a room ready to run. Drag the handle to see what changes: insulated panels, sealed doors, a unit sized to the load, and a floor built for daily traffic.
BeforeAfter- High-density sandwich panels on walls and ceiling
- Sealed insulated doors with double gaskets
- Automatic controls that hold the set temperature
- A SWEST unit sized to the load, installed and tested

Cold rooms & warehouses
Sandwich panels: how to choose the right thickness for a cold room
Thickness is not a number you pick off a catalogue. It falls out of an equation between the operating temperature you need, the climate outside, and the electricity bill you will pay every month for the life of the room.

Van & vehicle insulation
Refrigerated vehicle conversion: what gets checked before your van goes into service
Before you choose a refrigeration unit, you need to know what an inspector will look at. Most of what fails on a refrigerated vehicle is the insulation and the paperwork, not the unit on the roof.

Vehicle unit servicing
Servicing vehicle refrigeration units: the failure never comes out of nowhere
Most of the failures that reach our workshop are not sudden. They are six months of running with a blocked condenser or a low refrigerant charge — and the bill arrives all at once, usually on the worst possible day.
