Special Use Shipping Containers

We can also find for you:

  • Working reefer containers – Refrigerated containers allow you to control the atmosphere inside to best protect perishable goods.
  • Non-working reefer containers – Indicated to transport your products protected against extreme temperatures in a clean and food-grade insulated environment. Recommended for products like electronic components, footwear and clothing, furniture, toys, paper, fertilizers, beverages and canned food.
  • Double door containers – These cans have two sets of floor-to-ceiling swing doors, one set at each end of the container, allowing you to access your stored items in different ways. You can take the most advantage of this type of container when you need to access your items regularly or to store cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles or any other motorized vehicles, since you can enter or exit from either end.
  • Flat rack container – especially suitable to load heavy cargo from the top or sides (e.g. pipes, wood logs and machinery)
