USING REFRIGERATED CONTAINERS TO STORE FROZEN GOODS

Shipping containers are commonly found across the UK. A sub-type of this practical product that includes built-in temperature controls is the refrigerated container. To explain why refrigerated containers are a legitimate storage solution for all types of perishable goods, we have listed some of their key features below:

Broad Temperature Range Supports Frozen Goods Storage

Reefer containers can easily reach and maintain the temperatures required for storing frozen goods, and are thus suitable for storing meat, fish, vegetables, ice cream, and a wide range of other products. While they shouldn’t be confused with blast freezers that can deep-freeze fresh products in minutes, temperature-controlled containers can hold already frozen items and guarantee there will be no premature thawing.

Generators Ensure Reliable Cooling

In practice, refrigerated containers offer large and small businesses alike an affordable, reliable, and secure storage solution for perishable goods, meaning you don’t have to choose between quality and price. They can be positioned both inside and outside and used to store a large number of perishable goods providing they are connected to a suitable power supply.

Three Convenient Sizes to Select from

Since companies working with frozen goods have vastly different needs in terms of required volume, it’s helpful to know that refrigerated containers come in three standard sizes. Top storage providers such as Spacewise offer 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft containers, allowing customers to pick a model that best suits the intended application. That means a suitable combination of reefers can always be found to fit the specifications of the cargo, minimising empty space and reducing the complexity of logistics operations.

Flexible Leasing Options and Financial Considerations

The financial side of the equitation is also incredibly favourable, since compared to traditional brick-and-mortar solutions, they are inexpensive to lease and they help ensure product spoilage is avoided. At Spacewise, we provide flexible leasing terms designed to accommodate different business sizes and a wide range of industries.
