3 TYPES OF FINANCIAL BENEFITS AFFORDED BY REEFER CONTAINERS

One of the main reasons for the growing popularity of refrigerated containers is their positive impact on the bottom line, which has been well documented. This practical storage mode allows companies of many different kinds to streamline their manufacturing and distribution operations, expand their customer-facing offer, and improve customer experience.

Some significant financial benefits produced by the adoption of reefer containers on at least a part-time basis can be best summarised in the following way:

Low Initial Investment Requirement

Acquiring permanent, traditionally built cold storage facilities typically requires a significant upfront investment that may or may not be returned through future profits. For smaller companies, this can be an insurmountable barrier preventing them from entering some business niches and competing with market leaders. Reefer containers can be leased when they are needed on flexible terms. This model represents a stark contrast to the traditional ownership of brick-and-mortar warehouses.

Good Price Per Square Foot

The key objective criterion that should be used to compare the cost-effectiveness of various refrigerated storage options directly relates to how much you are paying to store a specific volume of goods. The math can get quite complex as there are countless relevant factors to consider, but more often than not, containers win out when the expenses are added up and fairly presented. The gap is particularly wide for companies with seasonal stock and therefore fluctuating needs for refrigerated space.

Minimal On-going Maintenance

Due to their simple but robust design and high-quality materials used for their manufacturing, Spacewsie refrigerated containers perform consistently with low maintenance requirements. Loading and unloading of reefer containers can be conducted either manually or using equipment such as trolleys and forklifts, depending on the volume of goods, the configuration of the terrain, etc.

How to Maximise Your Savings with Containers

All of the economic benefits described above are possible when leasing high-quality reefers. Savings are much easier to achieve when you work with a dependable UK-based company specialising in container-based cold storage solutions.
