What kind of power supply is needed for a 40ft reefer container?

This container is a dual-voltage unit, requiring either a 480V or 240V three-phase electrical connection. A qualified electrician is needed to safely connect the unit to your power source.

What does 'working reefer' mean?

A 'working reefer' means the refrigeration unit has been inspected, tested, and is fully operational. It is certified to cool and hold a specific temperature, making it ready for active cold storage use.

Can I use this container for both freezing and cooling?

Yes. The integrated refrigeration unit is capable of maintaining temperatures that range from deep-frozen (approximately -20°F) to cool (up to 70°F), depending on the specific model and ambient conditions.

How is the reefer container delivered?

We typically deliver our containers using a tilt-bed truck, which allows us to place it directly on the ground for you. You will need to ensure the delivery site is clear, level, and accessible for a large truck.

Is the refrigeration unit noisy?

Like any commercial refrigeration system, the unit does produce noise when the compressor and fans are running. The sound level is comparable to a residential air conditioning unit and should be considered when choosing a location.

Do you sell non-working reefers?

Yes, we also offer non-working refrigerated containers. These are popular for customers who want the high-quality insulation of a reefer but do not need active cooling, making them ideal for conversion into homes, offices, or climate-controlled storage.
