Why Insulated or Refrigerated Containers are Unsuitable for Storage
Used or second hand insulated containers are often non-operational refrigerated/freezer units, and are usually unsuitable for storage.
Non operational reefers are often sold for the following reasons:
- Refrigeration failure and subsequent rotting of perishables can leave odours or fungus spores that can contaminate stored goods.
- Leaking and water retained inside wall cavities and insulation that can not be removed.
- Age leading to breakdown of insulation material.
Insulated containers should only be used for construction site sheds, or similar where they are opened each day and do not present a possible health hazard.
Using Steel Containers for Storage Applications
Steel containers are designed to carry all but chilled or frozen goods on long or short journeys, all over the world.
Containers are also an economical long or short term solution for storage space suitable for:
- Household goods and furniture
- Commercial storage
- Building supplies
Containers are very secure, having no windows and being constructed of thick steel. The addition of a lock protection box on the door increases this security.
Avoiding Condensation
If condensation or sweating was a design problem with steel containers, no one would ever ship anything in them.
