Shipping Container Temperature Control

Intermodal temperature control?

It is not hard to understand why you need to control temperature in shipping containers. It is obvious that goods can spoil in transit.

Modern shipping containers do not go from point to point with one carrier. The way of moving goods today relies on real-time information, delivery windows and weather data. Ports can change. Roads can be closed. Containers go missing in transit. You goods can move on different transport options, this concept is called “intermodal transport.”

To have an ability to maintain consistent temperatures while at sea, in the air, or on land is valuable. A container taken from a warehouse in the early morning and moved at noon can be a big, hot, metal box.

There are dedicated “reefer” or refrigeration units. These cost more and usually run standard routes. Sometimes what you need is a simple technical solution, at a reasonable price.
