HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU NEED TO INSTALL AND OPERATE A REEFER CONTAINER?

Refrigerated containers can be set up in many locations and used as temporary or permanent storage for a wide range of goods. However, despite their universal utility value and frequent use in many different business sectors, some advantages are unclear to the average user; here are answers to some commonly asked questions:

How big are reefers?

Spacewise stock three different refrigerated container models. The smallest units are 10 ft. long, 8 ft. wide, and 8 ft. 6 inches tall, providing enough space for 4 standard palettes. Larger models have the same width and height, but their length extends to 20ft and 40ft, respectively. Each model roughly doubles the holding capacity of the previous one, so companies of any scale have plenty of options available.

Where can reefer containers be positioned?

Refrigerated containers can be used in both urban and rural settings. They are frequently used in outdoor locations, although they can also be placed inside warehouses and other large indoor spaces.

Refrigerated containers can work as standalone facilities or be used alongside existing storage units to help accommodate extra produce e.g. during peak seasons.

It’s essential to ensure your site has ample access since this allows the containers to be delivered and installed by a specialist vehicle. Some planning is required in order to have the container door facing the most convenient direction, which can save your team time and effort during the utilisation stage.

BULKPOWDERS

Thank you very much for the service provided by Spacewise. BULKPOWDERS rented 3 x 40ft Refrigerators for the summer season. An excellent service from our initial phone call through to the end of the agreement. Great communications, ease of contract, quick delivery of selected refrigerators, with a faultless rental agreement period. Thank you for the service

Equipment delivery is good quality and clean. Commissioning (usually next day unless otherwise organised) is complete by suitably qualified engineers and an ‘operating’ explanation given to the end user.

In addition their after-sales support is very good, tech. offering advice and engineer if deemed appropriate.

We contacted Spacewise to supply us with 2 refrigeration storage units on behalf of the client and their bar supplier as a long hire during the peak season. We haven’t experienced a single problem with them and we have found the team to be helpful and reliable at all times. Happy bar company, happy client! They come highly recommended.
