Temperature-controlled storage containers are most often associated with retail businesses and supermarkets, where they are used for the storage of food and beverages. However, the vast scope of industries that use refrigerated containers is much broader than you may have realised.

Arts and Entertainment

Paintings, canvases, photographs and film all require temperature stability and protection from high humidity to prevent actual damage or destruction. Additionally, museum artifacts and manuscripts need to be stored in strict temperature monitored environments, away from moisture and light, to ensure the longevity of each piece.

Automotive and Technological.

Used for the storage of temperature-sensitive products like batteries or electronics prior to sale, temperature-controlled storage containers can protect stock from external elements and humidity.

In the automotive industry, reefer containers are also used for heat testing products prior to release onto the market, to ensure performance, safety and durability.

Construction

Construction sites often require temporary cold storage containers to provide alternative storage whilst building work is being carried out on existing facilities. They can also be used to store temperature-sensitive equipment and materials.

Events and Hospitality

Sporting events, music festivals, motor races, wellness retreats and flower shows all utilise the mobility and flexibility of refrigerated containers to store temperature-sensitive goods on site.

Hotels, restaurants and golf clubs also benefit from the scalability reefers provide, allowing them to increase capacity during peak seasons or for large-scale events like weddings or corporate gatherings.

Medical and Pharmaceutical

Refrigerated containers provide the temperature-controlled environment necessary for hospitals, clinics and pharmaceutical companies to store vaccines, medications and clinical trial samples, whilst ensuring product efficacy and patient safety. They also provide a solution for hospital emergency back up and disaster plans.

Research laboratories

External refrigerated storage containers provide additional space for test samples, fragile compounds and experimental research stock. The mobility of these units allows for the reduction and expansion of storage as needed, essential when managing strict funding budgets.

Timber

Timber needs to be stored in a cool environment, away from direct sunlight, to prevent potential warping and mould growth caused by moisture buildup. A monitored temperature-controlled storage container provides a stable environment with the ideal ventilation to help preserve the quality of wood prior to use.
