Cold Chain Export Applications
Australian Seafood and Protein Export
Australia’s seafood, beef, lamb, and poultry export industry relies on certified reefer containers for compliant cold chain delivery to international markets. Furthermore, the 40ft High Cube format maximises cubic utilisation per container — reducing freight cost per kilogram on high-volume export shipments.
Fresh Produce and Horticulture Export
Australian fresh produce exporters use 40ft reefer containers for stone fruit, citrus, berries, and premium horticultural exports to Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Moreover, the High Cube profile accommodates tall pallet configurations and modified atmosphere packaging systems within the container footprint.
Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Freight
Temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products, vaccines, and biological materials ship internationally in certified reefer containers with continuous temperature monitoring. As a result, this container suits pharmaceutical logistics operators requiring a validated, CSC-certified cold chain transport unit.
Dairy and Processed Food Export
Butter, cheese, and processed dairy products require maintained temperature across extended international transit times. Therefore, the 76.4 m³ capacity and -25°C lower limit make this container the correct unit for bulk dairy export to temperature-sensitive destination markets.
Stationary Cold Storage and Depot Use
Between export shipments, this container suits stationary cold storage at processing facilities, distribution depots, and cold chain logistics hubs. Additionally, the 380V / 32A connection suits standard Australian commercial power infrastructure — no specialist electrical work required for depot operation.
