Detailed Description
The 20 Feet Freezer Container Compact Mobile Cold Storage Cell combines standard cargo container durability with specialized refrigeration technology from Thermo King, a recognized manufacturer of transport temperature control systems . This unit is constructed using the same structural standards as intermodal shipping containers, ensuring structural integrity during transport and placement.
The Thermo King refrigeration system is mounted to the container front, engineered to maintain consistent internal temperatures regardless of external ambient conditions . The unit is designed for high cooling capacity, making it suitable for applications involving frequent door openings or extended operational hours . Temperature is controlled through an integrated management system that allows precise adjustment based on stored product requirements.
As a land-based application of marine refrigeration technology, this container requires only connection to standard electrical supply at 360-500 Volts, 50 or 60 Hz, to begin operation . No permanent installation, foundation work, or structural modifications are typically required for deployment. The container maintains its mobility and can be relocated using standard container handling equipment should storage needs change .
The interior space measures approximately 20 feet in length, providing compact storage footprint suitable for facilities with limited space or operations requiring distributed cold storage locations . The container flooring is constructed for palletized loading and withstands repeated forklift traffic when properly equipped.
Temperature monitoring capabilities allow operators to verify internal conditions without entering the unit. The refrigeration system components are accessible for routine maintenance through the front-mounted service panel.
