How Can I Use Single Phase Chillers and Freezers?
We created our newest product specifically for customers without a three-phase power service at their locations. Our 230 / 240 volt single phase chillers and freezers are powerful enough to cool a 20-foot container or pairs of 40-foot containers. They are reliable, do not require much effort for repair or maintenance, and have only a few electrical components.
The chiller units can control temperatures from +55°F (+12°C) to +32°F (0°C), and the freezer units can control temperatures from +5°F (-15°C) to -12°F(-25°C). There are different models of chillers and freezers. However, they cannot perform both functions. Each unit is designed as an economical solution, kept simple to handle one job. The purpose of this shipping container product is to provide economical chilled or frozen storage to locations limited to single-phase power supply.
What Is the Purpose of Ice-Cubz Products?
The purpose of this shipping container product is to provide a mobile cold-storage solution. These are ideal for seasonal businesses or attractions such as county fairs, festivals, farmer’s markets, or outdoor entertainment venues. In addition, we can rent out Ice-Cubz to retailers needing extra space for peak season or emergency cold storage needs. For example, Wal-Mart stores occasionally need extra storage for turkeys ahead of the Thanksgiving and holiday season. With our Ice-Cubz rental units, you no longer will need to rely on buying bags of ice to keep things cool. These units are most used for the following applications:
- Catered event food storage
- Restaurant food storage
- Special events need mobile outdoor cold storage

Why Buy a Shipping Container for Dry Storage?
The purpose of shipping container products for dry storage is to provide an economical solution for long-term and short-term storage needs. There are many benefits of choosing to use a shipping container over alternatives including the following:
- With the heavy-duty floor that comes with a shipping container, they do not require laying a foundation.
- The all-steel construction keeps out pests and rodents, making it much more secure than a plastic or wooden storage building.
- You will not need to spend the time and energy it takes to build or erect a storage structure. It is ready for use.
- We can customize dry storage shipping containers for your specific needs.
- The flooring is made of 1 and 1/8th inch thick marine plywood, which is higher-quality, cross-laminated, and longer-lasting than conventional plywood.
