A refrigerated container or reefer is an intermodal container used in intermodal freight transport that is refrigerated for the transportation of temperature-sensitive cargo. While reefers have an internal refrigeration unit, they require external power from electrical power points (“reefer points”) at a land-based site, a container ship or on quay. When transported by road on a trailer or rail wagon, they can be powered by diesel-powered generators ("gen sets") that attach to the container throughout the journey. Refrigerated containers can manage temperatures ranging from -65 °C up to 40 °C.
This type of container is handled by Spreaders.
