Frequently Asked Questions About Refrigerated Containers
What is a refrigerated shipping container?
A refrigerated shipping container, or reefer, is a temperature-controlled container designed to transport and store perishable cargo such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals at specific temperatures, typically ranging from -25°C to +25°C.
Are reefers suitable for static storage as well as transport?
Yes, absolutely. While designed for international transport, reefers are also widely used for static, on-site temperature-controlled storage by businesses in various sectors. They provide a reliable and flexible cold storage solution.
What temperature range can a reefer maintain?
Most standard reefers can maintain temperatures within a range of approximately -25°C to +25°C, depending on the specific unit and the external conditions. High-specification units can sometimes achieve lower temperatures.
