What Is a Refrigerated Container?
A refrigerated container, or reefer, is an insulated ISO shipping container fitted with an integrated cooling unit, allowing it to maintain a controlled temperature independently of the surrounding environment. Unlike standard dry storage containers, reefers can hold chilled or deep-frozen conditions, making them suitable for storing perishable, temperature-sensitive, or regulated goods on site or in transit.
