Frequently Asked Questions — refrigerated container shipping container in London
Carrier or Thermo King: which to choose new?+
For UK use, near total parity: Carrier Vector 8500 (~52% of the marine reefer market share) has a denser service network in the UK and Ireland. Thermo King Magnum+ is more economical (-8% consumption at equal load) and slightly quieter. If you already have a fleet from one brand, do not mix for maintenance.
Is a new reefer really worth +50% compared to Grade A used?+
Justified only if (1) maritime export re-exported with insurer group warranty requirement, (2) pharma use under IQ/OQ/PQ validation, or (3) long-term lease of 5+ years where amortisation covers the premium cost. For 80% of cases, Grade A used at 30-50% of new price is sufficient.
What is the electricity consumption of a new reefer vs used?+
New reefer at -18 °C continuous: 4-6 kWh (40 feet), 3-5 kWh (20 feet). This is 15-20% less than an 8-10 year-old generator set (aged heating resistors, compressed insulation). Over five years of constant use, energy savings can cover 30-40% of the initial premium cost.
