The box semi-trailer (dry van) has rigid walls and rear doors. It protects goods from weather and theft better than a curtainsider, but loads only from the rear, at a dock. It has no refrigeration unit: it is not a reefer.

Exceptions and limitations
- Box ≠ insulated ≠ refrigerated: only the refrigerated one has a cooling unit and an ATP class.
- Box bodies with light walls have a lower tare (~6.5–7 t, UNVERIFIED) → ~23–24 t.
- No side or top loading.
Sources and verification
Confidence level: medium — A single manufacturer model (Krone); the payload depends a lot on the type of walls.

Box, insulated or reefer: what is the difference?
A box only protects mechanically, an insulated trailer has insulated walls, and a reefer also has a refrigeration unit with an ATP class. For temperature control see the reefer semi-trailer.
