There are very few technologies that are as valuable as climate-controlled containers when it comes to exporting perishable commodities. The use of refrigerated freight containers can assist you in preserving time-sensitive goods while they are being transported or stored, which enables you to cut expenditures that would have been incurred due to lost or damaged goods that occurred during shipping. This specialist technology ensures that your perishable imports and exports will be able to withstand the risks that are always present during the transportation of freight across vast distances. The following are a few of the major advantages that come with utilizing this kind of container:
1. Convenient for Transporting or Storing Goods That Are Easily Spoilt
The ability of a container, as opposed to a trailer, to serve double duty as a storage solution and as a means of guarding your goods while they are in transit is among the primary benefits of employing a container rather than a trailer. After you have placed an order for your container, we will easily deliver it to you using a trailer that is either flat-bed or roller-bed style. These containers are suitable for transport via any available freight carrier, and depending on the size chosen, they can be stacked up to three high in a single layer. With numerous containers, it is possible to achieve up to 10 distinct temperature ranges while transporting them on the same flatbed trailer. The size of the containers determines the number of temperature variations that may be achieved. With capacities ranging from 30 to 120 cubic feet, it is certain that you will be able to select the ideal container, or combination of containers, to store your belongings in any climate.
You are able to store and maintain your items for an endless period of time, regardless of whether they are in your storage facility or in your driveway, because the refrigeration unit that is attached to each container conveniently plugs into any ordinary wall socket. Because the batteries in the majority of units can store a charge for up to 72 hours and may be recharged in as little as four hours, this device is the ideal instrument for delivering goods at very specified temperatures across each component of the supply chain.
2. Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Methods for Controlling Pests
The ability of a container that can be refrigerated to manage the conditions inside the container, regardless of the weather outside, is the most evident advantage of employing a container with this capability. These containers have the ability to hold temperatures ranging from minus twenty degrees Celsius to more than one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. When humidity levels rise and fall, certain products, like cigars, wood, and furniture, have a tendency to expand and contract. Because of this, the breakdown of some fibers can happen very quickly. All of the controls for the heating and cooling unit are located on the exterior of the container. This ensures that the pristine environment on the inside of the container is never compromised by the warehouse attendant or the driver.
Mold, mildew, and fungi can flourish in environments with high levels of humidity, warm temperatures, and calm air. These factors create the ideal conditions for their growth. Each unit has, in addition to controls for the temperature, a fan unit that is responsible for circulating air within the container. Because of this, it is quite unlikely that any kind of bacterial or fungal vermin will be able to take up residence in your products.
3. Loading and unloading in a More Secure Manner
The fact that these customized shipping containers can be placed directly on the ground is one further advantage of using them; it makes loading and unloading a great deal simpler, which is a significant time saver. This is a significantly more effective way to minimize accidental falls and spills of goods or personnel than using a trailer, which necessitates the use of a ramp and dolly to load and unload the trailer’s contents.
