FAQ
Reefer Containers
The refrigeration unit is the heart of the reefer, and there are different manufacturers and models that have a certain performance and properties. Known manufacturers include Carrier Transicold, Thermo King, Daikin and Starcool.
We will advise you in detail about finding the optimal machine.
The cooling unit requires a power connection (380-460 V / 50-60 Hz, 32 amps) and this connection or line must be fused by a C32 automatic fuse and used exclusively for the cooling unit. We supply the refrigeration container with a 5-pin or 4-pin plug in (land or sea plug in).
An exact number for the power consumption is hard to summarize because there are many different factors affecting the cooling unit such as the nature and condition of the stored goods (i.e. frozen or fresh), outside temperature as well as how often the container doors are opened and closed. Furthermore, the age and model of the cooling unit also play a role. In general, it can be assumed that newer models are more efficient and thus much more economical than models of the older generation.
The dimensions have shown that the loudspeaker oscillates at a distance of 1 meter between 62-72 dB (outside the container)
In general, it depends on the temperature and the type of machine being used.
Depending on the manufacturer, a temperature of -25 ° C to + 25 ° C can be reached. Newer units are more powerful and can easily reach -40 ° C to + 40 ° C. Containers such as the Superfreezer even reach a temperature of up to -60 ° C.
With a humidity sensor, required levels can be maintained in the cooling container. This sensor is attached to the cooling chamber close to the unit and connected to the controller by a cable to check the levels you need. Here manual settings can be regulated (humidity between 50-95% can be adjusted). There are also modules for remote monitoring of the temperature and humidity.
We would be happy to advise you about this.
Yes, there is a separate manual for each unit. If necessary, we will send you the manual.
A 20 ft refrigeration container has a volume of 28.4 cm³ and room for approx. 10 euro pallets. A 40 ft high cube has a capacity of 67.5 cm³ and 23 places for euro pallets.
Make sure that the substrate where the container is placed is straight, level, and firm. Lawns and soft ground are not suitable as a loading area. However, there are possibilities with underfloor pallets to stabilize the storage area. We are happy to help you prepare this space.
The aggregate side should be at a minimum distance of 1m from the wall so that the unit can breathe (2-3m recommended). Furthermore, in the case of repairs, then the refrigeration technician has enough space to work.
Renting Containers
If you want to rent a container for a certain time, we will prepare an offer for the duration and number of rented containers.
After production and signing of the contract, the container is ready for collection.
Yes, an optional extension of the rental is possible in principle, but must be stipulated by contract.
This is possible and must be discussed separately.

More than 400 reefers and special containers are always in stock at our container depot in Hamburg. Our sales containers are usually available within 24 hours.

For the unloading of a container from the truck chassis, you need a forklift or crane that is able to move a certain type of container. You have to inform yourself beforehand how difficult your container is. We will be pleased to help you with the organization.

It is possible to install a side door on a reefer container. In this case, however, it should be considered that it is only useful to install an insulated cooling door so that the temperature in the cooling chamber is not impaired.
We have the possibility to convert any type of container in the desired size.
Whether 6 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet or 30 feet, everything is possible and has likely already been done.
