If you don’t have much room to play with, 8ft shipping storage containers might be the most sensible and practical solution.

Due to their compact size, 8ft containers tend to be used for storing tools, small equipment, and other not-so-bulky items. They can even be converted into offices and spaces that don’t need vast amounts of room, such as ticket booths, transportable kiosks, and so on.

Temperature-Controlled Storage & Transport

Refrigerated containers, also known as reefer containers, are temperature-controlled shipping and storage units designed for goods that need to be kept within a controlled temperature range during storage or transport.

Refrigerated containers use an integrated refrigeration system to maintain a controlled internal temperature. This allows businesses to store or transport perishable or temperature-sensitive goods without relying on ambient outdoor temperatures.

Refrigerated containers can be used for both transportation and static cold storage, depending on the customer's requirements. The temperature control feature helps businesses maintain the condition and quality of their goods throughout storage or movement.

New Refrigerated Containers

Boxman supplies new refrigerated containers for businesses requiring reliable temperature-controlled storage or transport.
New 20ft units measure 20ft x 8ft x 8ft 6in externally, with internal dimensions of 19ft 4in x 7ft 8in x 7ft 10in. The 40ft units measure 40ft x 8ft x 8ft 6in externally, with internal dimensions of 39ft 6in x 7ft 8in x 7ft 10in.New units can be suitable where regular commercial use and dependable temperature control are priorities.

Used Refrigerated Containers

Used refrigerated containers provide an alternative for businesses that need temperature-controlled capacity without purchasing a new unit. They can be a cost-effective option for range of storage and transport requirements.
Boxman can supply used units in 20ft and 40ft sizes, with the same external and internal dimensions as the equivalent new units.

Refrigerated Container Highlights

Temperature Control

The integrated refrigeration equipment allows the internal environment to be controlled rather than leaving goods exposed to outside temperatures. This makes refrigerated containers suitable for products where maintaining a controlled temperature is important.

Versatile

Refrigerated containers can be used for both transporting goods and providing additional cold storage capacity. This gives businesses flexibility when they need temporary or additional temperature-controlled space.

Practical Storage

Refrigerated containers can provide additional cold storage without requiring a business to build a permanent refrigerated room.

20ft Refrigerated Containers

The 20ft option provides temperature-controlled storage and transport in a more compact format. This option is suitable where a business needs refrigerated capacity but does not require the additional space provided by a 40ft unit.

40ft Refrigerated Containers

The 40ft option provides greater internal capacity for businesses handling larger quantities of temperature-sensitive goods. The additional space can make it suitable for larger commercial storage or transport requirements.

Who They're Suitable For

Refrigerated containers are suitable for businesses that need to keep products within a controlled temperature conditions. This is particularly relevant where goods could deteriorate or become unsuitable if exposed to inappropriate temperatures.

Food & Drink

Refrigerated containers can be used to store or transport perishable food and drink products, including fresh produce, meat, dairy products and other temperature-sensitive goods.

Pharmaceuticals

Temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products may require controlled storage and transport conditions.

Hospitality & Catering

Restaurants, catering businesses and hospitality operators may need additional refrigerated capacity for food and ingredients. Refrigerated containers can provide additional cold storage when existing facilities are insufficient.
