Where refrigerator containers make sense

• Food businesses: extra cold space for restaurants, butchers, bakeries and wholesalers.
• Farms: store fruit, vegetables and dairy close to where they are harvested.
• Events and catering: keep drinks and food cold on site for festivals and weddings.
• Healthcare and labs: backup storage for products that need a stable temperature.

Refrigerated storage is one link in the wider cold chain, so plan how goods will move in and out without long door-open times.

Power and placement

Most reefer units run on a three-phase electrical supply, so speak to an electrician before delivery. Leave space around the machinery end for airflow and servicing, and place the box on firm, level ground so the doors seal properly. Our guide to buying a reefer container covers power, temperature settings and inspection in detail.

Refrigerator containers vs a built cold room

A container arrives ready to run, can be moved later, and does not need building permits in many places. A built cold room may suit permanent, very large operations. For shipping cargo overseas rather than storing it, see our refrigerated shipping containers category.
