Insulated Shipping Container
Insulated containers provide the same solution as standard shipping containers, but come with an insulated exterior to keep internal temperatures more consistent.
Insulated Container Features
Insulated shipping containers, sometimes also referred to as non-operational refrigerated containers, are designed to store goods in a temperature controlled environment.
Superior thermal insulation reduces the impact of external temperature changes, which makes them suitable for the short-term storage of cold goods.
They have been used to extend the life of perishable items that do not need to be refrigerated, but can spoil in warm conditions more quickly, like feed or grain.
Some users also like to store furniture or precious items in them, as the temperature change is less severe compared to a traditional shipping container, which extends the life of the goods stored inside.

Insulated Shipping Container
How is this container delivered?
Tilt Tray
This is the most common method. We tilt the truck’s tray, then slide the container off while the vehicle slowly moves forward. Just note that the container’s height will increase when it’s tilted – so if your site has overhead obstacles (like power lines) we may need to go with another method.
Side Loader
If your site has limited space around the shipping container’s final position, side loader delivery could be the best option. The container is unloaded between the side loader’s two outrigger feet – about 0.5m from the truck’s side. We use side loaders to transport 20ft and 40ft shipping containers.
Hiab Crane
We use Hiab cranes when there’s not enough space for a side loader or tilt tray – or if your site has other tricky obstacles to manoeuver around (like fences). The crane lifts and then places the shipping container. This method also makes it easy to place containers at an angle, or on raised areas.
