CHOOSE THE IDEAL REFRIGERATED CONTAINER FOR YOUR PURPOSE
For particularly temperature-sensitive loads, perhaps where food health and safety are paramount, we highly recommend containers with integral refrigeration units, also known in the shipping trade as ‘reefers’. These are often chosen by customers moving cargo long distances or overseas. All Shipping Container Brisbane’s products are International Standards Organisation (ISO) compatible, meaning they conform to rigorous industry standards for all cargo containers making sea journeys.
Where precise temperatures are not required, you may save money and opt for a non-operational refrigerated shipping container (NOR). This is our budget option, essentially a fully refrigerated container unit but with the engine either decommissioned or completely removed. All the high-performance, original insulation remains, helping to maintain an ambient temperature, regardless of the external climate. It also combats problems associated with condensation, which has the potential to adversely affect produce such as rice, flour, grains, cereals and dry foods.
