Refrigerated Container for Rent from HZ KONTEJNERY s.r.o.
Refrigerated container for rent from HZ KONTEJNERY s.r.o. is specialized equipment – a so-called reefer container – designed for temporary, mobile and fully controlled storage of temperature-sensitive goods. This service represents a comprehensive solution for businesses and individuals who need to quickly and efficiently increase cooling capacity without high investments in building permanent warehouses. The container is equipped with its own cooling and heating unit, allows you to set and maintain precisely defined temperature ranges (usually from -25 °C to +25 °C), and is suitable not only for food, but also for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agricultural products or technical materials.
The advantage of renting is maximum flexibility – the ability to choose the length of use (from a few days to months), placement of the container practically anywhere (with electricity and hardened surface availability), and guaranteed service and technical support from the provider.
Technological Description of Refrigerated Container (Reefer Container)
Construction and Materials Used
The refrigerated container is made on the basis of a robust shipping container (mostly in 20′ and 40′ HC sizes), whose construction meets ISO 6346 standards. For maximum efficiency and durability, it uses:
- Frame: Steel, hot-dip galvanized skeleton designed for stacking and transport in demanding conditions (maritime, road and rail transport).
- Insulation: Walls, ceiling and floor are sandwich-type, filled with polyurethane foam with high insulation coefficient (λ approx. 0.021–0.023 W/mK), insulation thickness typically 75–100 mm.
- Interior surface: Stainless steel or aluminum – ensures easy maintenance, hygienic safety and resistance to acids, fats and other contaminants.
- T-floor type floor: Specially profiled aluminum floor ensures perfect air circulation and even temperature distribution throughout the container volume.
Cooling and Heating Unit
- Technology: State-of-the-art units (e.g. Thermo King, Carrier with Microlink 3 control electronics) enable not only cooling, but also temperature control or heating – suitable for storing goods in winter months.
- Temperature range: -25 °C to +25 °C, with accuracy ±0.5 °C.
- Refrigerant: Environmentally friendly refrigerants (R134a, R452A, R404A) with low GWP, in accordance with European F-Gas legislation.
- Control and monitoring: Digital control, possibility of remote monitoring of parameters via GSM or internet, alarms for temperature deviations, temperature history recording (important for HACCP).
Safety and Comfort Equipment
- Lockable doors with internal emergency opening (against trapping people).
- Interior and exterior LED lighting for safe handling even in the dark.
- Anti-slip floor finish.
- Safety sensors and alarms – door opening control, power failure, temperature fluctuations.
Energy Consumption and Power Supply
- Power supply: 3×400 V, 50 Hz, protection usually 32 A (industrial five-pin socket), minimal energy consumption thanks to quality insulation and inverter technology of units.
- Consumption: Depends on ambient temperature, required internal temperature and container filling – typically 4–8 kW/h.
- Ecology: Modern containers are designed with regard to low consumption and minimization of carbon footprint.

What Is a Shipping Container? The Ultimate Definitive Guide
A shipping container is a standardized, reusable steel box engineered to transport goods safely across multiple modes of transportation — ship, rail, and truck — without ever unloading the cargo inside. Also known as an ISO container, intermodal container, freight container, cargo container, sea van, dry box, or conex box, the shipping container is the invisible backbone of the global economy. More than 90% of everything you buy — from the smartphone in your pocket to the coffee in your cup — spent at least part of its journey inside one of these rectangular steel boxes.
Used Shipping Container: Grades, Costs, Inspection & More
A used shipping container delivers the same structural steel integrity as a new unit at 30–50% lower cost. For most storage, farming, job-site, and budget conversion applications, the right used container — properly graded and inspected — provides equal functional value with meaningfully lower upfront investment. This guide covers every decision you’ll face: grades, pricing, inspection, delivery, lifespan, and the mistakes that cost buyers thousands.
40ft Open Side Container
A 40ft open side container is a specialized ISO shipping container in which one full 40-foot long wall is replaced with bi-fold or multi-panel doors that swing open to provide unobstructed access along the entire side of the unit. Unlike a standard shipping container — where the only way in is through the 7-foot-8-inch-wide double doors at one end — an open side container lets you reach every pallet, every piece of equipment, and every inch of stored cargo from the side, without ever having to dig through layers of inventory. The standard end doors remain intact, giving you two fundamentally different access modes in a single unit.
20 Foot shipping container
A 20 foot shipping container is the single most important unit of measurement in global trade. It is the backbone of intermodal logistics, the standard by which every container ship, port terminal, and freight rate is measured, and — increasingly — a building block for homes, offices, and creative architecture. Despite its ubiquity, most people who encounter a 20 foot shipping container know surprisingly little about what defines it, how it came to be, and what it can actually do.
