REFFER SHIPPING CONTAINER MOVING SERVICES
WHAT ARE REEFER OR REFRIGERATED CONTAINERS?
Reefer containers are also referred to as refrigerated containers. Due to their refrigeration quality, they’re used for moving goods that require temperature regulation. The refrigeration is made possible by connecting them to the power supply on the ship. There is also a section of reefers called non-operating reefers. They are refrigerated containers used as dry boxes by deactivating the refrigeration.
Our company specializes in the transportation of different types of containers, including reefers. We're familiar with how they work and ensure they're operational during transport to maintain the temperature of delicate goods inside. Call us for reefer container transport services today.

What Are The Uses of Reefer Containers?
There are settings within reefer containers that require vivid scrutiny before use. They include ventilation, drainage, temperature, and humidity. These are features unique to reefer containers;
Ventilation ensures airflow, which removes gases and heat. It is mandatory for both fresh and frozen goods.
Drainage is designed to dispose of the excessive water within the container. It also prevents the entry of water and insects.
Temperature: Reefer containers should be between +25 degrees Celsius and -25 degrees Celsius for frozen goods. Additionally, some reefers can maintain temperatures at -35 degrees Celsius and others at -70 degrees Celsius.
Humidity: some reefers are equipped with the dehumidification quality to ensure reduced moisture levels.
Reefer containers transport sensitive and perishable goods that require keen attention to their temperature levels to avoid spoiling. The commodities in reefer containers are mainly;
- Meat
- Vegetables
- Milk and dairy
- Both fresh and frozen fish
For no-feed products, reefer containers mainly ship non-pharmaceutical products and flowers.

Trailers Used in Shipping Reefer Containers
OUR EXPERTS WILL IDENTIFY THE BEST TRAILER FOR YOUR REEFER CONTAINER MOVE
Reefer containers can be transported by land, air, or even sea. On land, cranes are used to move containers over small distances; however, trailers are the best option for moving containers over longer distances.
For example, a flatbed trailer has a very level bed, which makes it an excellent choice.
Additionally, a tilt bed, which also has a flatbed, easily secures the reefer. Upon delivery, it tilts, letting the container slide off slowly.
Finally, a semi-truck with a container chassis keeps the container secured by twist locks.
