Reefer containers

Reefer containers, also known as refrigerated shipping containers, are designed for the transport and storage of temperature-sensitive cargo. These insulated ISO containers are equipped with an integrated cooling unit that actively regulates internal temperature and airflow, ensuring stable conditions throughout transport and storage.

Alconet supplies reefer containers worldwide in multiple sizes and configurations. Whether you are looking to buy, lease or rent a refrigerated container, we provide reliable solutions for international cold-chain logistics and on-site storage applications.

What is a Reefer Container?

A reefer container is a temperature-controlled shipping container fitted with a built-in refrigeration system. Unlike standard dry containers, reefers actively maintain a set internal temperature, making them suitable for perishable and sensitive goods.

Typical applications include:

  • Fresh fruit and vegetables
  • Meat and seafood
  • Dairy products
  • Flowers
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Temperature-sensitive chemicals

Reefer containers are essential for global trade, especially in export-driven industries operating across warm climate regions.

Available Reefer Container Sizes

We supply refrigerated containers in standard ISO dimensions:

Each size offers specific advantages in terms of capacity and operational flexibility. High Cube models provide additional internal height, allowing improved pallet stacking and greater cubic volume.

New and Used Reefer Containers

Alconet offers both new and used reefer containers. New units provide maximum service life and the latest cooling technology, while used units offer a cost-efficient solution for ongoing storage or secondary logistics operations.

All containers are built according to ISO standards and can be delivered with CSC certification and PTI inspection where required.

Cooling systems are supplied by leading manufacturers such as Carrier, Thermo King, Daikin and Starcool.

Reefer Containers for Warm Climate Operations

In Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and tropical regions, reliable temperature control is critical due to high ambient temperatures. Efficient insulation, strong airflow circulation and high-performance refrigeration units are essential to maintain product integrity.

Reefer containers are widely used for agricultural export, seafood processing and pharmaceutical logistics in Southern Europe and other warm climate markets. High Cube reefers are particularly suitable for these operations due to their enhanced internal airflow and loading capacity.

Purchase, Lease and Rental Options

We provide flexible solutions for businesses requiring refrigerated containers worldwide. Whether you need a single container for temporary storage or multiple units for export operations, we tailor our offer to your logistical requirements.
