Refrigerated Containers - Usage and Dimensions

Refrigerated Containers, sometimes known as Reefer Containers, are suitable for the transportation and storage of temperature sensitive products such as food or chemicals.   Whether it is for additional storage space temporarily because of a large order, or as a permanent and safe Cold Storage Container, Refrigerated Shipping Containers can provide a solution.  The steel exterior, together with lockbox and hardened steel padlock, offer security from unauthorised access. 

Refrigerated  Containers are available for both chilled and frozen usage with a temperature range of -25C to +25C.  This makes them extremely versatile and capable of storing a variety of items such as fresh produce (chill controlled), ice cream (hard frozen) as well as explosives and chemicals (temperature controlled).  
There are various grades of  Refrigerated Container from static storage – usually requiring a 3-phase power supply although some have been converted to run on standard 240V single phase power if required – to CSC plated Refrigerated Freight Containers for shipping.   All Cold Storage Containers should be guaranteed to be in a condition that is consistent with current food hygiene standards.

Testimonial
“I thought I would just say a big thank you for your help with sorting out the delivery of our beautiful new container. I expected on my return to work to arrange to have it moved to its final resting place, but was very pleased to see on my return it is sat exactly where we needed it. Once again many thanks...”
