Reefer / Refrigerated Container Solutions

End‑to‑end cold chain logistics for industries that demand precise temperature integrity from origin to destination.

Frozen & Chilled Transport

Reliable transport for frozen goods down to -25°C and chilled products at 0°C to 4°C. Perfect for meat, seafood, dairy, frozen meals, and ice cream. Our reefers maintain consistent temperatures even during frequent door openings.

Pharma‑Grade Cold Chain

GDP‑compliant transport for pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biologics, and blood products. Strict temperature control at +2°C to +8°C with full validation, audit trails, and 24/7 monitoring. Ideal for clinical trials and temperature‑sensitive medical supplies.

Ambient Controlled

Temperature‑controlled transport for sensitive goods that require stable ambient conditions (+15°C to +25°C) — ideal for cosmetics, perfumes, chemicals, art, and flowers. Prevents degradation from temperature fluctuations.

Dual‑Temperature Zones

Need two different temperatures in one journey? We offer multi‑zone reefers that maintain separate chilled and frozen compartments in a single container. Perfect for mixed loads like frozen meat + chilled produce in one shipment.

Key Features

Why Reefer Stands Out

Our refrigerated container fleet is purpose‑built for the demands of cold chain logistics.

🌡️ Precise Temperature Control

Our modern reefer fleet maintains precise temperatures from -25°C to +25°C with redundant cooling systems, backup power, and real‑time adjustments to ensure cargo integrity.

🔄 Pre‑Trip Inspection & Compliance

Each container undergoes a rigorous pre‑trip inspection (PTI) to ensure cooling systems, seals, and data loggers are fully operational before loading. Full compliance with Australian cold chain regulations.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common reefer and refrigerated container questions.

What temperature range can you maintain in a reefer?
Our reefers can maintain a broad temperature range from -25°C (frozen) to +25°C (ambient controlled). We can set precise temperatures for frozen, chilled, pharma, and ambient cargo types, with redundant cooling systems for reliability.
How do you monitor temperature during transit?
Every reefer is fitted with GPS‑tracked telemetry and multiple temperature sensors. You get live access to temperature data, automated alerts for any deviations, and a full temperature log on delivery.
What happens if the reefer loses power or has a mechanical failure?
We conduct rigorous pre‑trip inspections and use reliable, well‑maintained equipment. In the rare event of an issue, our 24/7 support team is alerted immediately via telemetry and we dispatch emergency repair or swap‑out services to minimise downtime and protect your cargo.
Can I track my shipment in real time?
Yes. You'll receive a secure portal link to monitor your shipment's live location, temperature, and humidity in real time. Automated alerts keep you informed of any events or milestones.
What industries do you serve with reefers?
We serve food & beverage (meat, seafood, dairy, produce), pharmaceuticals (vaccines, biologics, clinical trials), floriculture (fresh cut flowers), cosmetics, chemicals, electronics, and plastics industries that require temperature‑controlled logistics across Australia.
Can you handle both chilled and frozen cargo in one container?
Yes, we offer multi‑zone reefers with dual‑temperature compartments. You can transport frozen goods at -20°C and chilled goods at +4°C in the same container, maximising efficiency and reducing costs for mixed loads.
What pharma‑grade certifications do you have?
We operate to GDP (Good Distribution Practice) standards for pharmaceutical logistics. Our reefers are validated for temperature‑sensitive pharma products, with full temperature mapping, calibration certificates, and audit trails available on request.
How do you ensure the reefer is clean and safe for food transport?
All our reefers undergo thorough sanitisation between loads using food‑grade cleaning agents. We follow strict hygiene protocols and can provide cleaning certificates on request. We also use food‑grade liners for additional protection.
How quickly can I get a reefer for my cargo?
We typically book reefers within 24–48 hours. For urgent temperature‑controlled shipments, we offer expedited scheduling — contact us and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.
What documentation do you provide for reefer shipments?
We provide full documentation including temperature logs, PTI certificates, calibration certificates, customs documentation, and proof of delivery. For pharma shipments, we provide GDP‑compliant audit trails and validation reports.
