A cool store you can put anywhere
A reefer is a fully insulated container with an integrated refrigeration unit built into one end. Set the temperature, plug it in, and you have a walk-in chiller or freezer wherever you have power.
They are the practical answer to seasonal cold storage: far quicker to deploy than building a coolroom, and you can send it back when the season ends.

FAQ
Reefers, answered
Almost all reefers run on a three-phase supply. We will confirm the exact requirement for the unit you are hiring, and if you do not have three-phase at the site we can advise on generator options.
Most units run from around -25°C up to +25°C, set precisely on the controller. Tell us your target temperature and we will confirm the unit can hold it reliably.
Yes, and that is the most common arrangement. Seasonal hire over harvest or summer is far more economical than building fixed cold storage you only need part of the year.
The refrigeration unit cycles on and off and does make noise when running, similar to a large air conditioning unit. Worth considering placement if the container is going near a boundary or accommodation.
