Overview

Reefer containers carry their own refrigeration unit and require a three-phase power supply or a genset. They are used both in live cold-chain logistics and, increasingly, as fixed cold rooms on sites where building a chiller is not practical. Every reefer we sell is PTI-tested before handover.

Buying notes

Grade drives price. Ask for Wind & Watertight if the unit will stay on the ground, and Cargo Worthy only if it needs to ship again.
Delivery is quoted separately by distance and access. Tell us whether your site can take a side-loader or needs a crane.
For quantities above five units, ask about depot-collection pricing — it is usually the cheapest route.

See indicative figures in our container price list, browse live stock in the shop, or match a container to your project in our container solutions hub. We deliver the Reefer across the Kingdom — including Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.
