FAQs About Refrigerated Storage Containers

United Rentals’ inventory of refrigerated storage containers are ideal for preserving temperature-sensitive equipment and supplies. Refrigerated shipping containers, also known as reefer or freezer containers, are supersized, wind-resistant and watertight refrigerators that keep temperatures consistent during shipping or storing, ensuring product freshness and quality. These refrigerated container rentals are ideal for cold storage and are commonly used in restaurants, pharmacies, retail, emergency situations and more. Operated by a generator, our 20-foot and 40-foot refrigerated containers for rent are ideal for storing temperature-sensitive or overflow inventory that is awaiting shipment. Rent our refrigerated cargo containers on a weekly or yearly basis, depending on your needs. For an event serving food, such as a wedding or gala, a one or two-day reefer container rental is perfect. Additionally, we carry a variety of storage container accessories to fit your specific storage needs. Our team can also work with you to create a custom shipping container solution, ensuring all your site needs are met. Contact Storage Containers & Mobile Offices today for more information.

How do refrigerated storage containers work?

Refrigerated storage containers employ different temperature modes and ventilation systems to maintain a consistent temperature, fluctuate temperature during travel or even warm up goods when required. The ventilation allows for fresh air to circulate within the container to remove unwanted gases and moisture.

How cold can refrigerated storage containers get?

Our freezer container rentals are able to hold temperatures from 19 ºF down to -22º F (-30 °C up to -7 °C). Need more help? Contact one of our Storage Container and Mobile Office experts for further guidance.

What is the difference between refrigerated containers and insulated containers?

Refrigerated containers are equipped with a refrigeration unit and heavy-duty steel insulation, ensuring precise temperature control and consistent cool air circulation. Refrigerated containers are commonly used for transporting perishable goods over long distances. Alternatively, insulated containers operate similarly to refrigerated containers, just without refrigeration units. Insulated containers use heavy-duty insulation to maintain stable temperatures and a controlled climate. Insulated containers are better suited for storing equipment or tools sensitive to temperature changes and humidity.
