This page gathers Mercedes-Benz vans with refrigerated bodies from the body builder Kerstner, which builds chilled and frozen-goods vehicles on the basis of the Sprinter and Vito. The model names with the suffixes Kühlsprinter and Kühlvito respectively give the base range on which Kerstner mounts the insulated box body with refrigeration unit.

The register lists here 4 versions with 120 kW from four-cylinders of 2,143 cm³, unladen weights from 2,128 to 2,715 kg, gross weights from 2,800 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 5,140 to 5,932 mm and widths from 1,930 to 2,020 mm.

Kerstner is, alongside a small number of other body builders, a supplier of refrigerated boxes for food and beverage transport on light van chassis; the combination of Sprinter or Vito base and insulated body targets the distribution runs of butchers, bakeries, catering firms and drinks wholesalers delivering temperature-controlled goods over short to medium distances.

On a used example, besides the condition of the four-cylinder diesel, the seal of the insulation, the condition of the refrigeration unit and compressor, corrosion at the door seals of the box body and the function of the temperature control all matter. Chassis parts run through the Mercedes-Benz network, refrigeration unit and body through Kerstner itself.
