Professional reefer Maintenance & Repair
Reefer containers are used intensively for international transport and storage of temperature‑sensitive goods such as food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. To ensure reliable performance, structured reefer maintenance and repair is essential.
All reefer containers leaving our depots are thoroughly tested in our dedicated Pre Trip Inspection (PTI) station, which can accommodate up to 50 reefer containers simultaneously. During a PTI we:
- test the technical performance of the cooling unit
- check alarms, sensors and control systems
- verify temperature settings and airflow
- inspect cleanliness and hygienic condition of the container
Our experienced reefer mechanics quickly identify defects and perform professional reefer container repairs, ensuring your equipment is ready for safe and efficient transport.
24/7 emergency service
Unexpected failures can occur at any stage of the transport chain. That’s why Harbour Reefer Service provides a 24/7 emergency reefer repair service for loaded reefer containers and generator sets.
Our technicians respond within short notice and:
- diagnose malfunctions remotely by phone or digital diagnostics
- provide immediate technical guidance
- perform on‑site repairs when required
Fast intervention helps minimize cargo risk, prevent spoilage and keep logistics schedules on track.
Reefer modifications
Standard reefer containers sometimes need adjustments to meet specific operational or customer requirements. From our depot, we perform a wide range of reefer container modifications, including:
- additional access doors or entry points

All modifications are executed by skilled technicians and comply with applicable safety and industry standards.
