If you’re wondering about the minimum hire period for a refrigerated container, (also known as a ‘reefer’) the answer is simple: 30 days. This applies to all our containers, whether you’re planning ahead or dealing with an unexpected cooling crisis. Let’s break it down so you know exactly what to expect.
Why is the Minimum Hire Period 30 Days?
Our 30-day minimum hire period ensures we can provide you with a top-notch service every step of the way. Here’s why:
- Delivery Logistics: Getting a refrigerated container to your site is no small task! It involves a lorry with a crane and a skilled team to get everything in place.
- Set-Up Time: Once delivered, our qualified engineers connect the container to your power supply and ensure it’s properly configured.
- Cooling Time: After setup, it can take several hours for the container to reach the desired temperature. We recommend having it delivered and running the day before use to ensure it’s ready when you need it.
This professional setup process makes sure your container works perfectly from the moment you need it.
What If I Need It for Less Than 30 Days?
While the minimum hire period for a refrigerated container remains 30 days, we can accommodate shorter usage needs. Here’s how it works:
- Short-Term Usage: If your requirement is under 30 days, you’ll still be invoiced for the full period. The minimum time we’ll leave a container on-site is 7 days.
- Less Than 7 Days? Talk to our friendly sales team! We’ll help you figure out the best solution for your situation.
Whether it’s for a planned event or an emergency, we’ll make sure you’re sorted with a container that’s cool, clean, and ready to go.
What Happens If You Finish Early?
Got everything done ahead of schedule? No problem! Let us know, and we’ll arrange to collect the container. Just remember, you’ll still be charged for the full 30-day hire period.
This flexibility ensures you have access to reliable cold storage without worrying about hidden fees or complications.
