In South Africa, power outages are a common occurrence. But for one high-end retailer, they became a serious problem.

By thinking outside of the (Big) box, the perfect solution quickly presented itself.
As luck would have it, this specific retailer already had two 12m Refrigerated Containers on their premises. With the help of their staff, the contents of the affected in-store refrigerated units were swiftly moved into our Big Box Refrigerated Containers saving them from huge financial and inventory losses.
Big Box Containers’ refrigerated containers use generators to keep the contents inside at a consistent temperature. This meant that this retailer could keep their temperature-sensitive products fresh, even when the power was out, allowing them to continue to operate and maintain their high standards during extended power outages and their in-store refrigeration dilemma.
Benefits of Refrigerated Containers
When the power goes out, perishable goods are at risk of spoiling. This can be a big problem for businesses that rely on these products, like supermarkets and restaurants. Refrigerated containers can provide a solution by keeping food and other perishables cool without electricity.
There are many benefits to using refrigerated containers, including:
- They’re cost-effective – refrigerated containers are a much more affordable option than traditional refrigeration units.
- They’re convenient – you can easily move refrigerated containers to where they’re needed, making them ideal for businesses that have to deal with power outages on a regular basis.
- They’re reliable – unlike traditional refrigeration units, which can break down when the power goes out, refrigerated containers will keep working as long as they have a source of power (like a generator).
- They’re energy efficient meaning that they will save you money on your energy bills and are better for the environment.
