FAQs for Custom Insulated Containers in South Africa
How effective is the insulation?
These units typically feature 40–80 mm of thermal insulation, sufficient to maintain ambient temperatures or reduce internal heat gain significantly.

Yes—electrical and interior fit-outs can be designed to accommodate future HVAC or refrigeration systems.
Are these sealed units like reefers?
While insulated, these units are not walk-in reefers unless refrigeration hardware is installed.
