A 40ft reefer container uses an integrated refrigeration unit mounted at one end of the container. Cold air is circulated through the floor channels and throughout the container, maintaining a consistent internal environment regardless of external conditions.
These units typically require an external power source but can also be operated using a diesel generator (genset) for mobile or remote applications.
