What is a reefer container?
A reefer container is a refrigerated shipping container with its own refrigeration unit. It keeps goods chilled or frozen and can be used as fixed cold storage on a site rather than only for transport.

Overview
ZAT Cabin supplies and modifies reefer containers and refrigerated container units for chilled and frozen storage on projects in Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE. A refrigerated container gives a site a self-contained, lockable cold storage space that can be positioned where the goods are actually handled.
Reefer and chiller container projects are planned around the temperature range needed, the volume of goods, power availability on site and the way the unit will be loaded. ZAT Cabin can also convert a container into a purpose-planned cold storage layout with shelving, partitions or separate temperature zones.
Delivery, positioning and ongoing support are handled with the same service scope used for the rest of the modular cabin range, so a refrigerated container can be combined with kitchen, mess and storage units on one site.
What are reefer & refrigerated containers used for?
- Refrigerated container storage on construction sites

Customization and planning
Planning a reefer container covers the required temperature range, the loading pattern, the site power supply and where the container will stand. Any conversion work such as shelving, partitioning or additional access is agreed before the unit is prepared and delivered.
What can be customized
- Internal layout, zoning and partitioning
- Functional areas for the intended workflow
- Access, door and opening positions
- Fit-out and finishes specified to project requirements
- Services provisions specified to project requirements
- Unit quantities and repetition across a site
Specifications
Dimensions, structure, insulation, flooring and service provisions are specified to project requirements rather than published as a fixed standard. Share the intended use, headcount and site conditions and the team will confirm the applicable specification with your quotation.
Delivery, installation and support
ZAT Cabin supports the project through consultation and planning, design and customization, manufacturing and installation, logistics and delivery, and maintenance and support after handover. Delivery arrangements and lead time are confirmed per project with the quotation. See the full service scope or read how portable cabin projects are planned.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a reefer container and a cold room?
A reefer container is a self-contained refrigerated container that can be delivered and repositioned as a single unit. A cold room is built as an insulated room planned to the space available. ZAT Cabin can advise which suits the project.
Can a refrigerated container be customized?
Yes. ZAT Cabin can plan internal shelving, partitions, access points and temperature zones as part of the container conversion before delivery.
Do you deliver reefer containers across the UAE?
Yes. Logistics and delivery are part of ZAT Cabin's service scope for projects in Abu Dhabi and across the United Arab Emirates.
