Refrigerated containers are fundamentally big fridge/freezers that are used to transport temperature-controlled cargo, such as: fruits, meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, dairy and also non-food products, such as: flowers, pharmaceuticals and film, across the world. Cold storage units and refrigerated containers are very versatile investments, in particular if your business requires additional on-site or portable cold storage.
