Refrigerated Storage Containers – Reefers
Refrigerated shipping containers, or reefers, are essential for transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods such as meat, dairy, seafood, fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Designed to provide reliable temperature control, these containers ensure your products arrive in optimal condition, making them ideal for businesses in the food, agriculture, and logistics industries. Whether you need to maintain a steady temperature for long-distance shipping or short-term storage, refrigerated containers offer a versatile and efficient solution to preserve freshness and quality throughout transit.

Refrigerated and Non-Operational Refrigerated Containers
Refrigerated shipping containers are available in mechanically refrigerated or non-operational refrigerated (NOR) configurations. At Blue Line Shipping Containers our mechanically refrigerated containers require a power source or generator on the container, truck or train being used to transport the container. Non-operation refrigerated containers are decommissioned refrigerated containers and usually have had their motors removed and sold as insulated containers. These units are good for keeping the contents of your container at a steady ambient temperature.

Quality Guaranteed
When it comes to refrigerated shipping containers, it’s imperative that your goods remain frozen, chilled, or held at the exact temperature you require. So buying or hiring from a reputable and experienced company is essential. At Port Shipping Containers, our high quality refrigerated containers are inspected and pre-tripped before delivery and we also offer a breakdown service in major metro areas in the unlikely case it’s required.

Container Accessories and Customizations
We also offer a full range of accessories to ensure that the container you choose is perfect for your needs. Doors, windows, paint, signage, ramps, shelving, vents, whirlybirds, workbenches, electrical and phone fit-outs, lighting, air-conditioning, kitchenettes and bathrooms can all be arranged easily and quickly. And of course we are only too happy to customise your insulated shipping containers to whatever specific need you may have.
Remember, a shipping container is completely portable, so you can move it to your next site or operation whenever it’s required. This is an incredibly convenient way to easily transport a site office, lunchroom, first aid room, switch room or site accommodation with minimum disruption and cost.
