Reefer Container Singapore

How does a reefer container work?

The reefer container or refrigerated container is specially designed to facilitate air distribution starting from the bottom. It utilises a uniquely crafted T-shaped decking system to effectively spread cool air from the floor. This ensures a constant supply of air throughout the whole shipping.

A reefer container usually comes with a built-in air cooling compressor with a common temperature setting ability between -25 to +25 degrees Celsius. It usually consists of a fuel-powered and electric-powered generator for both road and overseas transportation.

Reefer containers can maintain the temperature of your shipment, even in harsh conditions. Other than for cooling purposes, reefer containers can also control temperatures up to 30°C if necessary. However, it should be noted that reefer containers are not designed to change but to maintain the temperature of the goods.

Reefer containers are frequently used as temporary storage too for perishable foods by restaurants, supermarkets, and hospitals.

Different types and dimensions of Reefer Containers

Typically, there are two commonly found types of reefer containers: the 20ft reefer container and the 40ft reefer container. A 20ft reefer container typically shares the same dimensions as a 20ft General Purpose (GP) container, measuring approximately 6058mm x 2438mm x 2591mm. On the other hand, a 40ft reefer container is usually sized similarly to a 40ft high cube container, with dimensions of approximately 12190mm x 2430mm x 2900mm. When comparing the two, it’s worth noting that a 40ft high cube container is usually taller by about 400mm or 1ft compared to a 20ft high cube container.
