7 uses of refrigerated containers

Refrigerated containers are used by a wide variety of industries, some of the most common uses are:

1. Increased capacity during peak seasons

Many supermarkets, wholesalers and independents utilise refrigerated containers during the festive period to allow them to store larger amounts of fresh and frozen products in line with increased customer demand.

2. Scaling a business

To avoid the costly and time-consuming construction times required to build permanent cold storage, small businesses use temperature-controlled containers to increase their storage rapidly. This allows them to expand their operations, meet larger customer requirements and increase their market share, whilst keeping expenses low.

3. Instore breakdown relief

Heatwaves, poor maintenance, equipment faults, power issues and overstocking can all result in the breakdown of existing cold storage. Refrigerated containers can be supplied quickly to provide temporary storage and prevent potential product loss.

4. Temporary event storage

Festivals, sports events, flower shows and wellbeing events all need to meet strict storage requirements for the food and drink they supply to attendees. As refrigerated containers can be quickly delivered and positioned where needed, they provide a cost effective solution for temporary events.

5. Hospital contingency plans

Test samples, medications and injections all require temperature-controlled storage to ensure stability. Hospitals therefore need to consider these temperature sensitive items when preparing their contingency plans. Refrigerated containers are often considered to provide temporary storage during breakdowns, power shortages and other emergencies.

6. Product temperature testing

Many products require safety testing at extreme temperatures to ensure suitability before items can be put on the market. Car manufacturers, technological companies and material manufacturers have been known to use temperature-controlled storage containers to facilitate testing in controlled settings.

7. Storage during renovations & refits

Refrigerated containers are routinely used by construction companies to provide alternative onsite storage during renovations and refits, allowing business operations to continue whilst works are carried out.
