Refrigerated containers, also known as reefers, are specialized shipping units used to transport temperature-sensitive goods worldwide.
Reefers can maintain a temperature range between -30°C and +30°C. Just like a household refrigerator, they use an in-built generator to circulate chilled air that keeps cargo at the right temperature — essential for transporting perishable cargo like fruits, flowers, and pharmaceuticals.
In addition to transporting perishables, businesses can repurpose used or non-operating reefer containers for on-site cold storage solutions — a cost-effective option for maintaining temperature-sensitive inventory.
