Reliable solution for refrigerated storage
Purchasing a reefer container is a sustainable solution if you require structural refrigerated storage. Reefer containers have an integrated cooling system that allows you to control the temperature accurately. Insulated containers do not have active cooling, but they protect goods against external temperature fluctuations.
Companies often opt for purchase when refrigerated storage is an integral part of their logistics process. With your own container, you have permanent storage capacity and are not dependent on rental periods.

Purchasing a reefer or insulated container is a sustainable solution if you require permanent refrigerated storage or protection against temperature fluctuations. With your own container, you always have storage capacity available and are not dependent on rental periods or availability.
Reefer containers keep goods at a controlled temperature thanks to an integrated cooling system. Insulated containers limit temperature fluctuations and protect products from external influences. This means that temperature-sensitive goods are better protected during storage or transport.
Companies often opt to purchase when refrigerated storage is an integral part of their logistics process. When temporary storage is required, renting reefer containers can be a flexible solution.
Applications of reefer containers
Reefer containers are used worldwide for the storage and transport of temperature-sensitive goods. Thanks to the integrated cooling system, the temperature can be set accurately and kept constant. This makes these containers suitable for sectors where temperature control plays an important role.
Many companies use reefer containers for storing food, pharmaceutical products, and medical goods, for example. They are also regularly used in the floriculture industry for storing and transporting flowers and plants. In addition, reefer containers play an important role in refrigerated logistics chains, where products must remain at a stable temperature throughout the entire transport process. In locations where extra cooling capacity is needed, they can also serve as temporary or permanent cold storage.
By purchasing a reefer container, you always have a reliable solution for refrigerated storage. Companies that only need temporary extra cooling capacity often opt for container rental instead of purchasing.
When should you choose an insulated container?
An insulated container is a good choice when products need to be protected from heat or cold, but active cooling is not necessary. The insulated walls help to limit temperature fluctuations and ensure that the temperature in the container remains more stable than in a standard container.
Companies use insulated containers, for example, to store temperature-sensitive materials or for transport where temperature control is important. Insulated containers also offer a solution for logistics applications where goods need to be protected from the weather. In addition, they are regularly used for industrial and technical storage, where products must be protected from external temperature influences.
How much does a reefer container cost?
The price of a reefer container depends on various factors, such as size, technical condition, and type of cooling system. In general, used reefer containers are more affordable, while new containers offer a longer service life and more modern cooling technology. The most common sizes are 20-foot and 40-foot reefer containers. Larger containers offer more storage capacity, but are usually also more expensive to purchase. In addition, factors such as year of manufacture, maintenance history, and energy consumption also play a role in the price.
For companies that require structural refrigerated storage, purchasing a reefer container can be an efficient long-term investment. This provides you with permanent refrigerated storage capacity and allows you to use the container flexibly within your logistics process.
