Refrigerated Shipping Containers (Reefers) – Precise Cold Storage Solutions
Refrigerated Shipping Containers (commonly known as Reefer Containers) are specialized, insulated cold-storage units engineered to maintain precise temperature-controlled environments for perishable goods. Equipped with high-performance digital cooling units and thick polyurethane insulation, reefers keep internal temperatures steady anywhere between -30°C to +30°C (-22°F to +86°F) regardless of external weather conditions. Whether you need reliable on-site cold storage for agriculture, food processing, pharmaceuticals, floral distribution, or event catering, these heavy-duty containers offer a cost-effective alternative to building permanent walk-in coolers or freezer warehouses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What power source is needed to run a reefer container?
Refrigerated containers require a 3-phase power supply (30 Amp, 460V/480V circuit). For remote sites without grid access, a diesel generator set (genset) can be attached.
Can reefer containers be used as standard freezers?
Yes. Digital control units allow you to set temperatures as low as -30°C (-22°F), making them ideal deep-freeze storage solutions.
