What Are Portable Refrigeration Containers?
Portable refrigerated containers provide refrigeration on the go. They’re perfect for businesses who require the convenience of refrigeration but don’t want to fully commit to a converted refrigerated van or fleet. They’re great if you require dual temperatures for your goods and services. Plus, if quality control is at the forefront of your business operations, they’ll provide just that.
If you want to increase your available vehicle payload and carry all of your products safely then rest assured that with a portable refrigerated container, you’ll have those benefits ticked off.
The Advantages of Insulated Containers
- Dual power.
- Efficient.
- Increased payload.
- Dual temperatures.
- Easy to clean and remove.
- Available in a variety of sizes and models.
Portable refrigerators come in different sizes, models and capabilities but they usually all serve one purpose. To keep your cargo in pristine condition from loading to unloading. They’re typically plugged into the main vehicle battery during transit and travel. Once you’ve arrived at your dedicated destination, the portable containers will then need to be plugged into an electric power unit.
Portable refrigerated containers are easy to clean, they’re customisable depending on your business needs, they’re a payload maximiser and they can lend themselves to an array of businesses. So, if you require convenient refrigeration, then you’re in the right place.
By applying our core values – to listen, innovate, and deliver – we can help you find the right refrigeration method for your needs. With that being said, let’s jump right into it and see some of the products we have available.
