What Are Intermodal Reefers?
Refrigerated containers, often referred to as reefer containers, are essential for Shipping goods that require precise temperature control throughout the shipping process. These specialized containers are equipped with advanced refrigeration units that maintain consistent internal temperatures, preventing spoilage or damage to temperature-sensitive products.
At GFFCA, our reefer containers are powered by sophisticated temperature-control technology, ensuring reliability across all modes of transport — air shipping, ocean freight, and inland solutions. Whether you’re shipping perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, or delicate materials, our intermodal reefers are designed to safeguard your cargo from origin to destination.
Common Reefer Misconceptions
A common misconception is that frozen intermodal transportation is either unreliable or slow. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. GFFCA’s intermodal reefer solutions combine the speed of air freight, the scalability of ocean freight, and the flexibility of inland transport to deliver a seamless shipping experience.
Let’s break down the process to show how reefer intermodal shipping works at GFFCA.
Basic Reefer Intermodal Types
When utilizing GFFCA’s intermodal reefer services, customers can choose from the following approaches based on their specific shipping needs:
Load and Cool:
Fresh products are loaded into the container, and the reefer unit cools the cargo to the desired temperature during transit.
Load and Go:
Frozen products are pre-cooled before loading, and the reefer maintains the set temperature as the cargo is transported to its destination.
Wait for Temperature:
Frozen products are loaded into the container, and the reefer unit is monitored on-site until the desired temperature is achieved before departure.
Understanding these shipping methods helps optimize transit times and costs, ensuring the safe and timely delivery of your frozen goods.
How Do GFFCA’s Intermodal Reefers Work?
Our reefer containers operate using advanced refrigeration technology. A robust cooling system, powered by a compressor and refrigerant, extracts heat from the container’s interior to maintain precise temperature settings. These units continuously monitor and adjust the internal climate to counter external factors like ambient temperature and humidity, keeping your products safe and fresh throughout their journey.
