FAQS 4

Do refrigerated containers have generators?

Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators. These allow for independent power generation during transit or in areas without external power access. Operators can use diesel generators in remote locations or when stationary power is unavailable. These portable units provide energy to keep the cooling system running.

What energy sources can keep refrigerated containers' cooling systems running?

Here is an overview of different energy sources that can keep refrigerated containers’ cooling systems running: At ports or storage facilities, operators typically connect reefers to shore power. This provides a stable electricity supply for continuous operation. Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators.

Do reefer containers use generators?

For transportation by road or rail, reefer containers often use a diesel-powered generator set (gen-set). These gen-sets are mounted on the container or the transport vehicle, providing a reliable power source throughout the journey.

Do you need a power supply for a refrigerated shipping container?

When installing a refrigerated shipping container (also known as a reefer unit), it’s essential to understand the power supply requirements to ensure safe and reliable operation. These containers are fitted with integrated cooling systems that must run continuously to maintain a stable internal temperature. Below is a breakdown of what’s required.
