MORE THAN A COOLER BOX

COOLING THAT RUNS FROM YOUR VEHICLE

A cooler box can work for a short outing, but longer adventures require a more reliable solution. A portable car fridge actively controls temperature, allowing you to keep food fresh, drinks cold and supplies protected throughout your journey.

With a fridge freezer setup, you are no longer dependent on buying ice or worrying about how long your cooler box will stay cold. You have greater control and more freedom to travel.

Runs on 12V or 24V vehicle power, or AC when you are plugged in

GOOD TO KNOW

CAR FRIDGE FAQ’s

The best car fridge depends on your available space, trip length and storage needs. Compact models suit shorter trips, while larger fridge freezers are better for extended adventures.

Yes. Portable car fridges are designed to operate from vehicle power systems, making them suitable for bakkies, SUVs and travel setups. Zalptic fridges also accept 24V and AC 100–240V.

Consider how many people are travelling, how long your trips are and whether you need separate fridge and freezer space.

For longer journeys, a car fridge provides more reliable cooling because it actively controls temperature instead of relying on ice.
