Refrigerated Container Hire
Transporting and storing perishable goods requires precise temperature control to prevent spoilage. SEA Containers offers 20ft and 40ft refrigerated shipping containers for hire across New Zealand. Also known as reefer containers, these weather-tight insulated containers contain a cooling motor and power supply that keeps the internal temperature consistent, making them the ideal solution for the transportation or storage of perishables.

Why Use Refrigerated containers?
Temperature-controlled refrigerated containers come with a range of benefits. With an operating range of -20°C to 18°C, they are suitable for frozen storage and general cold storage alike. This makes hiring a reefer container the best solution for storing goods that require low temperatures.
