Can a reefer container plug into an external power grid?

When a reefer container is stationary at a port or facility, it can plug into an external power grid to maintain its internal temperature. However, during transit, access to external power sources is not feasible. In these situations, gensets become the primary power source.

What is a Tier 4 containerized generator?

Our Tier 4 containerized generators are high-powered —500 kW to 1250 kW— units packaged in 30-foot or 48-foot ISO containers.

Are containerized generators reliable?

Years of use in the rental, oil and gas, mining and other heavy-duty industries have tested the reliability, usability and durability of our containerized generators. Our primary design challenges in developing this line of containerized generators were usability, reliability and functionality for the end user.

Why do reefer containers need gensets?

Gensets allow reefer containers to be transported seamlessly via trucks, trains, or ships without compromising refrigeration capabilities. Advanced monitoring systems in modern gensets provide real-time data on temperature fluctuations and fuel usage and address issues proactively before they affect cargo quality.

What are the different types of Genset units used for reefer containers?

There are three main types of genset units used for reefer containers: clip-on gensets, under-mount gensets, and on-chassis gensets. Each type serves specific purposes based on transportation needs and logistical requirements. Clip-on gensets are portable units that attach directly to the front or chassis of the reefer container.
