Refrigerated Shipping Containers
If you need to transport or store goods that need to be kept at a cool or cold temperature, then a refrigerated shipping container (or ‘reefer’, as they’re sometimes called) is an essential piece of equipment.
In Queensland, where temperatures can get pretty hot, a reefer can make all the difference in keeping your goods in good condition.
There are a few things you need to consider when choosing a reefer, such as the size of the container and the type of cooling system you need. But don’t worry – our team at Shipping Containers Mackay can help you choose the right reefer for your needs.

Insulated or Refrigerated – Which Container is Best?

Refrigerated & Insulated Container Types And Sizes
Insulated Containers
There are two main types of insulated shipping containers – non-operational refrigerated containers (NOR), and purpose-built insulated shipping containers. NORs are decommissioned refrigerated containers that may have had their motors removed. They’re a popular choice for conversion into other purposes, like offices, accommodation or houses.
Purpose-built insulated shipping containers are newly-built and designed specifically for shipping. They’re perfect for temperature-sensitive cargo, and can be easily converted into storage units or other purposes. If you’re looking for an insulated shipping container, we’ve got a great range of both NORs and purpose-built containers to choose from. Get in touch with us today to find out more.
Non-operational (NOR) Refrigerated Containers
If you’re in need of refrigerated storage, but don’t want to invest in a new, expensive cooling system, a used refrigerated shipping container might be the perfect solution. Refrigerated shipping containers are made with heavy-duty insulation to keep things cool, even in the hottest weather. And since they’re no longer being used for shipping, you can usually find them at a fraction of the cost of a new refrigerated unit.

Insulated Purpose-Built Shipping Containers
Refrigerated shipping containers, also known as insulated shipping containers, are purpose-built containers designed to keep goods at a steady temperature. They are typically used for transporting perishable items, but can also be used for non-perishable items that need to be kept at a specific temperature.
Refrigerated shipping containers come in a variety of sizes, but the most common is the 20-foot container. These containers typically have a thermal insulation of at least 2.5 inches, and some have up to 6 inches of insulation. The walls and ceiling of the container are insulated with either fiberglass or polyurethane, and the floor is typically made of aluminum.
Modifying Your Container And Adding Accessories
If you need to transport temperature-sensitive goods, a refrigerated shipping container is the perfect solution. These containers can be easily modified to cater to your specific needs, with shelving, lighting, butcher doors, and lock boxes all easily installed.

Insulation For Container Homes, Offices And Sheds
If you need to transport temperature-sensitive goods, a refrigerated shipping container is the way to go. These containers are made of solid, durable Corten steel, which is perfect for withstanding the knocks and bumps of a long journey, and everything the elements can throw at it. But steel is a super-conductor, which means that when a shipping container is converted to other purposes, insulation becomes an issue. Which makes a refrigerated or insulated container a must-have for many businesses.
There are a few different types of refrigerated shipping containers, each with their own benefits. The most common type is the reefer container, which uses an airtight seal and insulation to keep the contents cool. These containers are perfect for transporting perishable goods, such as food and pharmaceuticals. Another type of refrigerated shipping container is the thermal container, which uses a system of circulating coolant to maintain a consistent temperature. Thermal containers are often used for transporting chemicals and other sensitive materials that need to be kept at a precise temperature.
