3 WAYS TO IMPROVE MILITARY LOGISTICS WITH COLD STORAGE CONTAINERS

Reefer containers are suitable for many different tasks and are used across various industries. However, perhaps the greatest testament to their practicality is the fact that even the armed forces can benefit from this reliable storage mode. The military uses refrigerated containers to store supplies and equipment, sometimes at a large scale.

Let’s take a closer look at how storage specialists like Spacewise can help the military keep things on schedule. Some of the lessons learned in this sector can be readily applied elsewhere; for example, business organisations can use the same principles to optimise supply chains.

1. Keeping More Supplies on Location

It can take a lot of supplies to maintain army units in the field, this can be accomplished in different ways. One is to increase the frequency of deliveries. However, this can be costly and often requires more moving pieces to be coordinated in real-time. The alternative is to prepare a sizeable stockpiling capacity to deliver supplies in bulk at the unit's location. Refrigerated containers allow personnel to prepare necessities in advance and take advantage of bulk shipping to keep supplies close at all times.

2.Simplify Loading and unloading

With potentially large amounts of stock to move and different types of goods to separate and keep at the right temperature, leasing refrigerated units is a practical and cost-effective solution for your storage needs. All containers have identical height and width; the only difference is the length ranging from 10 to 40 ft.

Spacewise reefers are also supplied with aluminum loading ramps and floors suitable for trollies. These features help to streamline the loading and unloading process. In addition, our containers are versatile, always well maintained, and can be supplied with remote monitoring facilities, helping to ensure items are kept at the optimum temperature.

3. A Cost-effective Storage Solution

Cutting costs in supply chain management is a savvy way to stay within budget constraints without compromise. For example, Spacewise refrigerated containers can hold large amounts of stock at precise temperatures and be leased for short or extended periods, making them an incredibly cost-effective solution.
