What Is a Reefer Container and How Does It Work?
A reefer container (refrigerated container) is a temperature-controlled unit designed for transporting perishable goods such as food, medicine, and chemicals. It functions like a large mobile refrigerator and is essential for maintaining cargo freshness across Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
What Is a Reefer Container?
A reefer can maintain temperatures between -30°C and +30°C, powered by a built-in refrigeration unit connected to an external power source or a genset (generator set). Cool air circulates through the container floor using T-shaped decking, ensuring consistent airflow around the cargo.
Common Uses
●Food Transport: Meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, dairy, beverages, and frozen products.
●Pharmaceuticals: Medicines and vaccines that require precise temperature control.
●Dry Cargo (NOR): When switched off, reefers can serve as standard containers for general goods.
Key Features
●Temperature Control: Maintains — not lowers — cargo temperature, so pre-cooling is essential.
●Ventilation & Humidity: Prevents gas buildup and spoilage; humidity is continuously monitored.
●Drainage System: Removes condensation to protect goods.
●Genset Backup: Ensures power supply during transport interruptions.
