What are the electrical requirements for operating a reefer refrigerated trailer?
Some 20ft reefer containers only require 220V single phase electrical connection. However, refrigerated containers and trailers typically require a 460V three-phase power supply with a dedicated 30-amp circuit. If using a 230V power source, a dedicated 50-amp circuit is necessary. We recommend having a licensed electrician connect your container to power sources.
How quickly can a refrigerated container or reefer trailer be delivered?
Dry Box can deliver cold storage containers or reefer trailers as fast as the next day in most service areas. Delivery times will vary by location. Some companies offer prompt delivery, especially in emergency situations, while others may require advance scheduling.
Can refrigerated containers maintain both chilled and frozen temperatures?
Yes, our refrigerated storage containers and reefer trailers can hold an even temperature range of -10°F to +80°F. We can fine-tune your unit to operate as anything from a dock-height freezer for seafood distribution or a reefer trailer transporting your latest harvest of fine Chardonnay at an optimal 55°F.
Is it better to rent or buy a refrigerated container for temporary storage?
Renting offers flexibility for short-term needs without the commitment of ownership. Purchasing a reefer container may be more cost-effective for long-term or frequent use.
Are there any maintenance responsibilities during the rental period?
Generally, routine maintenance is included in rental agreements. However, it’s advisable to keep the unit clean and promptly report any issues to the rental company.
What site preparations are necessary before delivery?
Ensure a level, firm surface for placement. Adequate space for delivery vehicles and proper electrical connections are also essential. Hard surfaces or gravel are preferable, but if it’s not possible, use of concrete blocks or pressure treated wood like railroad ties is sufficient.
Can reefer containers be placed indoors?
Yes, reefer containers can be placed indoors provided there’s sufficient space for delivery and operation, including proper ventilation and clearance for the refrigeration unit.
Are there options for ground-level and dock-level access?
Yes, refrigerated containers can be delivered for either ground-level and reefer trailers are available for dock-level access for loading docks at big box stores and distribution warehouses.
What security features are included with reefer rental units?
Features may include all-steel lockable doors, internal lighting, and alarm systems. It’s advisable to discuss specific security requirements with your rental rep.
