There are many different types of used storage containers available for your needs. Refrigerated containers provide a special type of shipping option for many applications. These containers are sometimes referred to as reefer containers or temp-controlled containers. They can be used to store and transport temp-sensitive items and perishable items. Let’s learn more about the uses of this type of storage container.
How Refrigerated Containers Work
You can keep items cold or temp regulated in this type of container thanks to the cold air that is circulating throughout it. The cold air is circulated through a refrigeration system and pumped at the bottom of the container. It then moves around and over the cargo. The cold air exits the container at the top and starts the cycle again where it is re-cooled.
Portable Cold Storage Solutions
The most common use for reefer containers is for portable cold storage. Large events that require food storage without regular kitchen accommodations, can use these containers. Festivals and event organizers, often rely on these to keep items cold and safe before they are cooked or distributed. This is often a requirement before food permits can be issued for certain types of events. You’ll need to prove that you have appropriate cold storage on the premises.
Factory and Lab Storage Solutions
Factories and labs are also faced with the need to store food or raw materials. It’s not uncommon for facilities to run out of space. Cold storage containers provide an easy way to solve this problem without permanent expansion of the facility. This can stop a disaster from unfolding if storage becomes an issue. These types of used storage containers provide a cost-effective way to deal with a lack of space.
