Refrigerated Containers
Refrigerated Containers
Refrigerated containers, also called reefer containers, are used for goods that need to be temperature controlled during shipping. Reefer containers are equipped with a refrigeration unit that is connected to the power supply on board the ship.
Reefers are most widely available in twenty-foot units, or the standard size for shipping containers. Though, it is possible to access them in different sizes. Forty and forty-five-foot units are available. High cube accommodations are also possible.
With the ability to achieve such low temperatures, it is essential to be extremely cautious when operating a reefer container. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when handling these containers, and remember to use personal protection equipment like glasses and safety gloves at all times.
