What is a 10ft reefer container?
A reefer container is used for refrigerated storage and transport of goods. Most of the time they are used for fresh food products and medicinal goods. Reefers, also called refrigerated containers, are designed in such a way that the cooling of the goods happens efficiently. First of all, the container has a reefer unit. This is a machine that ensures that the internal temperature of the container is regulated. Cooled air circulates through the container. A reefer container is isolated much better than a regular shipping container so the reefer can use its energy efficiently.
Furthermore, the internal design of the reefer contributes to this energy efficiency. The T-floor in reefer containers makes it possible to cool products also from the bottom up.
Dimensions
A reefer container is most often available in three different sizes or dimensions: 10ft, 20ft and 40ft.
Internal dimensions:
- Length: 2,991 meter

External dimensions:

The dimensions of a reefer container can always deviate from the sizes mentioned above. This is an indication of the most common reefer container sizes.
