Each service is tailored to the condition of the equipment and the operational requirements of the customer.
Reefer Maintenance and Pre-Trip Inspections
Preventive maintenance helps reduce unexpected failures and extends the operational lifespan of refrigerated containers and their machinery. Our technicians inspect the technical condition of reefer units and identify defects before they result in downtime or unreliable temperature control.
Incoming reefer containers can also undergo a Pre-Trip Inspection. During a PTI, the unit is tested to determine whether it operates correctly and can reach and maintain the required temperature before deployment.

Refrigerated Container Repair
When a reefer develops a technical or structural fault, fast and accurate repair is essential. Our technicians diagnose the cause of the problem and carry out the required mechanical, electrical or structural repair work.
We repair issues involving refrigeration systems, compressors, controllers, sensors, wiring, fans, airflow, container panels, doors and insulation. Access to spare parts for major reefer brands helps us limit unnecessary delays and return equipment to service efficiently.

Reefer Modifications and Refurbishment
Reefer containers and their machinery can be adapted for specific operational or technical requirements. Harbour Reefer Service supports customers with modifications, re-engineering, auxiliary equipment and the refurbishment of existing reefer units.
Our technicians assess the technical possibilities and develop a practical solution based on the intended use of the equipment. More information is available on our special projects and modifications page.
Genset Maintenance and Repair
Gensets provide independent power to refrigerated containers during transport, storage and handling. Reliable operation is therefore essential for maintaining the required cargo temperature.
We provide inspection, maintenance, fault diagnosis and repair for gensets used in temperature-controlled logistics. Visit our genset service page for more information.
Service for All Major Reefer Brands
Our technicians work with reefer machinery from all major manufacturers, including Carrier, Daikin, Star Cool and Thermo King. Their experience with different systems and components allows us to provide one technical service point for mixed reefer fleets.
We also supply OEM, refurbished and used spare parts for reefer units and gensets. Having access to the right components helps shorten repair times and supports dependable long-term operation.
