Insulated Containers
₨ 2,500
Unlike refrigerated containers, which have a power source and controlled temperature range, insulated containers rely on their insulation properties to maintain a steady temperature throughout. This is an advantage if your goods are being shipped a relatively short distance, when no power is available, or when a regular temperature is all that’s required rather than refrigeration. For instance, pre-cooled cargo from cold storage can be used with an insulated shipping container to maintain a cold chain very successfully on short trips, and many goods don’t even require cooling methods at all – the insulation of the container itself is enough to keep the goods in perfect condition. Insulated shipping containers are also increasingly being used for storage and accommodation as well.

The Perfect Container for Storage
Insulated shipping containers aren’t just for transporting things. They are also useful when your goods need to be stored securely with no temperature fluctuations. Cars, leather lounges, wine, books, documents and fabric items in long term storage will all benefit from the steady temperature that an insulated shipping container provides. Ventilation can also be required for these sorts of items, a modification that can easily be done upon request.
Insulation for Container Homes, Offices and Sheds
Shipping containers are made of strong, sturdy steel, designed for the rigours of long sea voyages in all sorts of weather. Steel is known for its strength of course, but it’s also renowned for its conduction properties – just ask anyone who has tried to use an uninsulated shipping container to live in. If it’s cold outside, it will be arctic inside. And if it’s hot outside, the inside will be like an oven!
If you are building a shipping container home, or planning on using it for an office or shed, insulation is an essential addition to your container. Depending on your needs, a general purpose shipping container can be purchased and then insulated to your requirements (either by you or us) or you can choose a shipping container that is already insulated. There are many ways to insulate a shipping container, so for more details, give us a call on 1300 957 709 and we can help you decide what’s best for you, given your particular circumstances.
Container Accessories and Customisations
We also offer a full range of accessories to ensure that the container you choose is perfect for your needs. Doors, windows, paint, signage, ramps, shelving, vents, whirlybirds, workbenches, electrical and phone fit-outs, lighting, air-conditioning, kitchenettes and bathrooms can all be arranged easily and quickly. And of course we are only too happy to customise your insulated shipping containers to whatever specific need you may have.
Remember, a shipping container is completely portable, so you can move it to your next site or operation whenever it’s required. This is an incredibly convenient way to easily transport a site office, lunchroom, first aid room, switch room or site accommodation with minimum disruption and cost.

20 FT Refrigerated Containers
Refrigerated shipping containers are the ideal way to transport and store goods that require reliable temperature-controlled facilities. When shipping or storing meat, cheese, dairy or seafood, a refrigerated container, also known as a ‘reefer’, is an absolute must-have. Fruits, flowers and many vegetables also need a steady temperature to make sure they arrive at their destination in their best condition, though they may only require an insulated container – it really does depend on the product, how far you are shipping, and how long the journey takes.

Open Top Containers
Shipping bulk goods that need to be loaded by crane require a form of specialised shipping container called an open top shipping container. The result of another clever ‘out of the box’ modification to the original general purpose shipping containers, open top shipping containers are designed to transport bulky or heavy cargo that either won’t fit through normal container doors, or else require a crane for efficient loading. General industrial goods, pipes, steel bars, cables, iron ore, mining materials and logs are just some examples of the types of goods that can be transported in an open top shipping container.
