Insulated Containers

Insulated Shipping Containers For SaleUnlike refrigerated containers, which have a power source and controlled temperature range, insulated containers rely on their insulation properties to maintain a steady temperature throughout. This is an advantage if your goods are being shipped a relatively short distance, when no power is available, or when a regular temperature is all that’s required rather than refrigeration. For instance, pre-cooled cargo from cold storage can be used with an insulated shipping container to maintain a cold chain very successfully on short trips, and many goods don’t even require cooling methods at all – the insulation of the container itself is enough to keep the goods in perfect condition. Insulated shipping containers are also increasingly being used for storage and accommodation as well.Types of Insulated Shipping Containers AvailablePort Shipping Containers sell several types of insulated containers, including:Non-Operational (NOR) Refrigerated ContainersThese are decommissionedrefrigerated containers, which means the powered cooling equipment is no longer operational, but all the heavy-duty insulation of a refrigerated container still exists.Insulated Purpose-Built Shipping ContainersThese are purpose-built insulated containers designed for goods that don’t need to be refrigerated, but do need a steady temperature.

They are also useful when your goods need to be stored securely with no temperature fluctuations. Cars, leather lounges, wine, books, documents and fabric items in long term storage will all benefit from the steady temperature that an insulated shipping container provides. Ventilation can also be required for these sorts of items, a modification that can easily be done upon request.Insulation for Container Homes, Offices and ShedsShipping containers are made of strong, sturdy steel, designed for the rigours of long sea voyages in all sorts of weather. Steel is known for its strength of course, but it’s also renowned for its conduction properties – just ask anyone who has tried to use an uninsulated shipping container to live in. If it’s cold outside, it will be arctic inside. And if it’s hot outside, the inside will be like an oven!If you are building a shipping container home, or planning on using it for an office or shed, insulation is an essential addition to your container.
