20FT Refrigerated White Shipping Container

Refrigerated Shipping Container Usage Guidelines for Optimal Performance and Safety

To ensure that your refrigerated shipping container operates at its best and maintains safety during use, please follow these guidelines:

Placement:

Position the container on level ground with adequate airflow.

Keep it at least one meter away from any walls and away from direct sunlight.

Power Connection:

Properly connect the reefer unit to a 32 amp, 415V power outlet.

Before connecting, inspect the cable plug for any signs of dust or water.

Loading:

Distribute the product evenly throughout the container, avoiding damage to the baffle kick plate or obstructing airflow on the container floor, door end, or return air.

Safety Precautions:

Exercise caution and wear non-slip rubber-soled footwear when entering or exiting the container.

DO NOT smoke or use an open flame in the presence of refrigerant.

Load Limits:

Ensure that the reefer is never loaded above the ‘red line guide limit’ marked inside the container.

Operation:

NEVER run the reefer with doors open. Always switch the container OFF BEFORE ENTERING. Ensure doors are securely closed before operation.

Maintenance:

Clean the reefer unit coils by hose down or air cleaning on a monthly basis.

Regular maintenance by a qualified technician ensures efficient performance and prevents downtime and costly repairs.

Safety during Inspection:

Inspecting refrigeration machinery requires caution.

The refrigerant is under high pressure, and some electrical circuits carry high voltage. Moving parts are also present.

NEVER open the control box without consulting a licensed electrician or reefer technician.

Repair Work:

Any repair work should be undertaken by a person familiar with the procedures and risks associated with personal health, fire, safety, and the environment.

By following these usage guidelines, you can ensure the optimal performance of your refrigerated shipping container while prioritizing safety for yourself and those around you.
