What is the process for transport?
Containers are generally delivered using either a flatbed truck, or alternatively a crane truck, if the delivery location has no offloading facilities. Almar can arrange for either method of delivery.
Where should I position the container?
Make sure you have identified a flat, hard surface that can handle the weight of the container. An empty 3m container weighs 1.400kgs (1.4 tons), an empty 6m container weighs 2.185kgs (2.1 tons), while an empty 12m container weighs 3.640kgs (3.6 tons).

“The mobility and stackability of the Almar refrigerated container is ideal for our back-of-store space limitations, while the flexibility of being able to lease a reefer for as long as we need it, works well for our business. The service and efficiency we get from the Almar sales and technical departments is commendable, which is why they are our preferred supplier when it comes to cold storage solutions.”
