ARE REEFER CONTAINERS THE RIGHT STORAGE SOLUTION FOR YOU?

Storage and logistics are disciplines where making a wrong decision can potentially be costly and throw larger plans into disarray. For this reason, the flexibility and practicality offered by leasing Reefer Containers can significantly improve the financial picture for some businesses.

Here are a few factors to consider:

Analyse the Projected Turnover of Goods for the Next Period

One of the first things businesses often need to consider is the volume of goods that can be expected to pass through storage over the next several months and the temporal distribution of traffic. For example, suppose goods arrive in irregular intervals, and the volume of each shipment varies greatly. In that case, this suggests the need for a flexible solution, and Refrigerated Containers can provide just that.

Take Cargo Type and Value into Account

Some inventory has varied storage requirements and therefore may need careful handling and precise temperature controls to preserve its full commercial value during the storage phase. Therefore, it may make more sense for the businesses handling stock with these challenges to lease several smaller units that can each have individual temperature settings.

On the other hand, goods that arrive in bulk quantities and have identical temperature requirements might require larger cold-storage facilities, Spacewise 40ft Reefers are ideal for this purpose.

Due to the different unit sizes available, Spacewise Reefer Containers offer value to a broad range of different customers.

Compare the Costs of Reefer Container Lease vs. Brick & Mortar Facilities

Ultimately, every business needs to compare the expenses between various storage modes to determine the best option. The math can change depending on the required volume, timing, location, and other details, so there is no universally correct answer. However, Refrigerated Containers are often the most economical solution and create considerable savings that scale together with cargo size.
