4 Great Uses For Refrigerated Shipping Containers

Just finding regular storage can be a very difficult process, however, finding refrigerated storage space can be almost impossible, and very expensive as well. Normally refrigerated storage requires a huge investment, with lots of space and time to construct. One great solution to this dilemma, is to get a refrigerated container in order to keep your goods and produce cool, plus there’s very little investment or construction needed. Using a refrigerated storage container has been gaining popularity for many cash-strapped businesses that are expanding rapidly, but don’t have the time to add an expensive refrigerator inside. Containers offer convenience and affordability, while being incredibly versatile because they are basically fully self-contained, secure and mobile. Refrigerated containers are highly customizable, many different kinds of shelving is available for installation, and with dual temperature controls, it is possible to have the ability to store two different types of products at two different temperatures in the same container.

The refrigerated container is easily transportable, you don’t need to buy a truck, a tractor-trailer will do. Another great thing is that there are many options to inexpensively lease these containers, have it dropped off at your location the next day, and immediately stock it full of products. That’s almost no investment and no wait time to add up to 40′ x 8′ of cold storage to your business.

Another great use for a refrigerated storage container is any kind of special event where large quantities of beverages need to be available, already refrigerated and ready for consumption. This would include large events like county fairs, outdoor concerts, and large sporting events where huge crowds need refrigerated beverages of all types. A refrigerated storage container can be brought by truck, put by your back entrance, and act like a second warehouse full of food, beverages and other refrigerated items, then when your event is over, be quickly taken away by truck again.

A new way to use refrigerated storage containers has emerged in the high-tech industry for maintaining certain types of manufactured crystals in a cryogenically cooled refrigeration room while being transported. Many times these types of situations require frozen carbon dioxide, dry ice, to maintain a temperature far below what a normal freezer could do. By having the container already cold, it can be used first for storage of the products, then as a transportation container for the products, and then return again to be used as storage, or two containers could be rotated constantly as well.

Finally, a refrigerated cold storage container with dual controls could be divided between the refrigerated side to store food and beverages ready for preparation, and then an air-conditioned side where workers work diligently to prepare food at a catered event. A catering company could pre-load everything needed for a large party, drop off their container at the location, then do their job catering a large party, and at the end, just drive away with all the leftovers, no packing needed.
