They are sealed containers designed for temperature controlled cargo such as fresh fish, fresh meat, frozen food, fruits, vegetables, photographic films and pharmaceuticals. They fall into two categories: reefer containers and insulated containers.

1.Reefer ContainerBuilt in refrigeration units are installed at the front end. While the refrigeration system runs, cold air flows out via ventilation ducts at the rear, circulates through gaps between wall protrusions and floor runners, then returns to the chiller through air intake openings on the front wall. Insulation materials are lined inside walls, ceilings and floors to boost cooling efficiency. Its operating temperature ranges from  28°C to +26°C and can automatically hold a steady temperature set according to different commodities.

2.Insulated ContainerIt is mainly used for fresh produce like fruits and vegetables. Coolants such as dry ice prevent excessive temperature rise inside the unit with a usual holding time of roughly 72 hours. Thermal insulated structures are equipped on all sides, top and bottom.
