❄ What is a reefer container?
A reefer (refrigerated) container is a temperature-controlled shipping container with an integrated refrigeration unit. It is designed to transport perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive cargo at precise, consistent temperatures[reference:64].
❄ What temperature range can this reefer maintain?
This 40ft HC reefer is capable of maintaining temperatures as low as -25°C, making it suitable for frozen seafood, meat, and other deep-frozen cargo[reference:65]. Temperature range is subject to the individual refrigeration unit.
❄ What is the difference between HC reefer and standard reefer?
A High Cube (HC) reefer is 30 cm (1 foot) taller than a standard reefer, providing additional interior height for improved airflow, better pallet loading, and greater cubic capacity[reference:66].
❄ Can a used reefer be used for international shipping?
Yes, provided it carries a valid CSC plate and the refrigeration unit is operational. CSC certification confirms the container meets international standards for safe shipping[reference:67].
❄ What are typical applications for a reefer container?
Reefers are used for transporting seafood and frozen food[reference:68], pharmaceuticals and healthcare products[reference:69], flowers and plants[reference:70], and any temperature-sensitive cargo requiring precise cold chain management.
