LONG-TERM REEFER CONTAINER LEASING

In a competitive marketplace typical of the modern global economy, businesses have to cut costs wherever they can, preferably without affecting their quality of service or stock. This factor makes leasing Reefer Containers on a long term basis an attractive option for a wide range of enterprises looking to become leaner and more cost-efficient.

This storage format has numerous advantages and can potentially help organisations at any scale to support sustainable growth.

Several critical aspects of some business operations can be positively affected through leasing Refrigerated Container units for a long time. The main advantages of this approach can be summarised in the following way:

No Investment in Infrastructure Building is Required

Expanding brick and mortar warehouses requires a sizable upfront investment that could take a while to pay off. By contrast, Reefer Containers' costs are limited and paid in smaller installments. Some companies use Reefers as their primary storage modality, leasing as many as currently needed and returning them after a project is finished. In other cases, Refrigerated Containers can be added to boost existing capacity during a specific period (i.e. during December).

Reliable Operations with Minimum Maintenance

Spacewise Reefer Containers can be trusted to protect goods from outside conditions and theft. Made from high-quality materials, they are resistant to corrosion and vermin. The loading and unloading process is simple, so using Reefers is not very labor-intensive.

Reusability of Reefers

Since Reefers are suitable for storing many different types of goods, they can be repurposed during the lease. In this way, their practical value can be increased as they can be relied upon to handle various storage temperatures to safely store a wide variety of different perishable stock.

Using Containers to Capitalise on Peak Demand

In many industries such as distribution, retail, and hospitality, access to storage space can be a critical factor that limits the volume of business an organisation can take. The importance of this factor can become more obvious in periods when the demand is strong, and businesses have an incentive to order supplies in larger qualities. Refrigerated Containers can be a good way to close this gap and provides customers with the capability to supply as many customers as possible without needing to worry about the costs of extra space significantly shrinking profit margins.
