How do refrigerated shipping containers stay cold?

Refrigerated containers are fitted with built-in cooling units that actively regulate the internal temperature. Cold air is circulated from the bottom of the container and distributed evenly to maintain consistent conditions, whether you need chilled, frozen, or ambient storage. This makes cold storage container hire ideal for food, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-sensitive products.  

What sizes and options are available for refrigerated containers?

Our refrigerated container rentals are available in 20ft and 40ft options, designed to perform reliably in outdoor environments. Depending on your needs, you can hire containers capable of chilling, freezing, or ambient storage, with optional extras such as low-noise refrigeration units, ramps, and remote temperature monitoring for added convenience. 

What’s the difference between a reefer container and an insulated container?

The key difference is that a reefer container has an active refrigeration system, powered by electricity, that can maintain temperatures from -25°C to +25°C. In contrast, an insulated container has no active cooling and instead relies on thermal insulation to slow down changes in temperature. For businesses needing precise, controlled cold storage in Great Britain, reefer container hire is usually the most effective solution.

Shazia was helpful from my first enquiry to the delivery of my container. She sorted any query and enabled me to buy exactly what I was looking for. The driver who delivered container was also a credit to his company. Nothing was too much trouble and everything done with a smile .
