insulated shipping containers
Insulated shipping containers tend to be repurposed/decommissioned refrigerated (reefer) containers. These containers, originally designed for transporting perishable goods, are modified to remove the refrigeration machinery while retaining the insulation properties. By repurposing these decommissioned reefers, we offer cost-effective and sustainable solutions for temperature-controlled shipping and storage.
As the name suggests, insulated containers come with built-in insulation to keep the interior temperature within the container from fluctuating. This is great for goods you want to ship over a short distance when you need a stable temperature for transport or storage or when there is no readily available power source.
With an insulated container you can take pre-cooled cargo from cold storage and store it temporarily until you get to your destination. So long as the goods don’t require any refrigeration, the insulation is enough to keep your goods in tip-top shape!
popular types of insulated shipping containers
Tiger Shipping Containers offer various insulated shipping container types, and we’re happy to help match you with the perfect choice for your needs. These include:
Insulated Purpose-Built Containers - These containers get built specifically for cargo that doesn’t require refrigeration but requires a set temperature. We can easily insulate a standard shipping container with insulated panels, as this will help regulate the temperature.
NOR (Non-Operational) Refrigerated Containers - This is a decommissioned refrigerated container where the power equipment no longer works. You’ll get all the heavy-duty insulation intact inside of the container, just without the electrics. No matter what type of insulated shipping container you decide is the best fit, they all come with several design features standard, including Solid steel construction, side or front opening doors and timber flooring.

common insulated container uses
You can use your insulated container for storage, but there are a host of other potential uses available too. For storage, they allow you a space where the temperature won’t fluctuate as the exterior temperature changes. Wine, cars, leather products, fabric items and documents in long-term storage situations can all benefit from being in this environment. We also offer ventilation upon request if your cargo needs it.
