Reefer Container Guide

Refrigerated containers add equipment and electrical considerations that standard storage containers do not have.

Define the Application

Tell the provider what you are storing, the target temperature range, whether the product enters the container already cooled, and how often doors will be opened. These details can affect the recommended equipment.

Confirm Electrical Requirements

Reefer electrical requirements vary by unit and configuration. Confirm voltage, phase, amperage, plug/receptacle requirements and whether your site has suitable service before ordering. Use a qualified electrician for site electrical work.

Ask About the Refrigeration Unit

Confirm whether the quote is for an operating reefer, an insulated non-running unit, or another configuration. Ask about operating condition, service history or testing, temperature capability and who is responsible for maintenance during a rental.
