What is a refrigerated (reefer) container used for?

A refrigerated (reefer) container is a temperature-controlled unit designed to keep goods chilled or frozen, making it ideal for storing food, drink and other temperature-sensitive products that need stable conditions.

Can I hire or buy a reefer container from RFB?

Yes – just like our standard containers, reefer units can be supplied on either short- or long-term hire, or purchased outright to suit your project and budget.

What power supply does a reefer container need?

Reefer containers are electrically powered and must be connected to a suitable on-site power supply; our team will discuss your site setup and make sure you understand what is required before delivery.

Where can a reefer container be delivered and installed?

As long as we can safely access your site and have enough space to offload and position the unit, we can deliver reefer containers to a wide range of locations, including construction sites, industrial premises, retail yards and event venues.

Hanger 53

We just had a container delivered for our Community Pantry in Dalkeith and we cannot recommend RFB enough. Their prices were good, their service was excellent and the truck driver was brilliant, and positioned the container exactly where we needed it within millimetres, quickly and efficiently, in a most joyful manner. Thank You.
