A reefer container is a ready-made cold room. It carries its own refrigeration unit, holds any set point between −25 °C and +25 °C, and needs only a three-phase supply or a genset to run — so you get chilled or frozen storage on site in days, not the months a built cold room takes. In Saudi Arabia's heat that matters: restaurants, catering kitchens, pharmacies, florists and produce traders use reefers as static cold storage, and food and pharma distributors run them in the cold chain. Every reefer we supply is PTI-tested before handover so the machinery is proven before it reaches you.

Why it works
How it works
Tell us the temperature you need and how much you store — that decides 20FT or 40FT, and whether a genset is part of the quote.
We confirm a PTI-tested unit, price it with any power or genset package, and schedule delivery.
We place the reefer, connect it to your three-phase supply or genset, and confirm it pulls down to temperature before we leave.
