Technical FAQs 4

What energy sources can keep refrigerated containers' cooling systems running?

Here is an overview of different energy sources that can keep refrigerated containers’ cooling systems running: At ports or storage facilities, operators typically connect reefers to shore power. This provides a stable electricity supply for continuous operation. Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators.

Do refrigerated containers have generators?

Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators. These allow for independent power generation during transit or in areas without external power access. Operators can use diesel generators in remote locations or when stationary power is unavailable. These portable units provide energy to keep the cooling system running.

How do refrigerated containers work?

Refrigerated containers, also known as reefers, play a crucial role in global trade by preserving perishable goods during transport. These specialised containers come in various sizes, each suited for different cargo volumes and transportation needs. Understanding how refrigerated containers work is crucial for efficient logistics planning.

Why should you choose a refrigerated container?

With features like three-phase power and backup systems, our containers offer consistent performance. Stable temperature maintenance: Our refrigerated containers use advanced power systems to maintain precise temperatures, ensuring optimal storage conditions for various industries, such as food and beverage, mining, and floristry.
