Reefer Shipping Containers - Why They Are Useful For Modifications

Hi. just wondering which paint on coating to use on interior plastic or fibreglass? Iv got one with a blue interior lining. Thanks.

would love to know your about your experience in connecting two reefer containers

This video tells nothing about the foundation. What kind of foundation can I do if I want this to be an off truck stand alone office? Thanks Container guy!

Thinking of getting one of these for my office. Would this type of container survive hurricane force winds like the all-steel ones do?

What is the general current approximate price range?

Thanks for the info! Take care

I'm looking for an older 20-32' reefer that the compressor doesn't wok so I can convert it into a cold storage room/butcher shop using a coolbot. I found a 48' this week in Columbus Ohio I have to go look at next week. A little larger than I wanted... but I think it will work!?

Very informative as usual. Thanks for sharing 😁👍

Do you think a reefer is better for my application? I want to use the container to house tropical fish that I breed. The container company I'm dealing with recommended a Reefer as it would be cheaper then insulating / framing a standard 40hc and already setup for how I'd like it used. Since there isn't much information on this particular use I've been following house / office builds. While the reefer may not look as nice it seems like it might actually be more practical. My only real concerns going with a reefer is it's designed to be more air tight so less air flow and of course a used reefer may not look as nice as a 1 trip container but can always spend a little and fix it up aesthetically. Thanks for your time. Been watching lots of your videos.

What is the R-value of a reefer shipping container?

Can you put 2 of the 53 foot insolated trailers side by side and cut the walls out to join them together as one big room but have a load baring ceiling joice with posts holding up the walls that were cut away. Also do you ship to Canada 🇨🇦?

Hello. Just a question regarding the doors in a reefer container, do you use them in any way as part of windows or any architectural detail? thank you

Hey Channing Thanks for your videos. we are looking at making a home out of a fibreglass truck trailer which is 45 foot long here in Australia could you please have suggestions on building putting windows in a fibreglass exterior cheers from Paul and Monique in Australia

Great vid thx

What would a 20' refer container cost a person Shipped to Bridgeport IL 62417 ?

I have a 40’ reefer with the back unit removed. What would you recommend to recap it? I am thinking of putting sheet metal on the back and wood frame with insulation, then some plywood on the inside.

Brand new enquirer. Are REEFER units as sturdy as Regular containers?

Love what you do, just wanted to let you know that the reefer config is an amazing solution for cold weather applications because the floor is perfect for the installation of in floor heated liquid flooring, it works amazingly and there amount of worked saved by the native T floor is unbelievable!! Cheers

Do you sell 20' ISO side-open, refurbished, insulated containers (ex-reefer)? Do you deliver to Michigan?

You mentioned about not screwing conduit and such directly to the FRP, is there some type of wall stud on the inside that can be used for mounting purposes?
When you cut holes for windows and doors, is there any type of structural reinforcement that needs to be applied or is that not necessary since the entire wall is a structural component due to being completely filled already?
Sorry if the questions seem weird but I am considering using a reefer truck body as the base of an overland camping rig for the reasons you mentioned in your video. They are already finished and fully insulated on the inside, and I would just need to add windows. My concern with cutting window holes was that it would weaken the wall structure and need to be framed somehow.
The t-floor looks like it already provides areas for cable runs and mounting points for cabinets, etc that would otherwise need to be added in a regular van, etc when doing the conversion.
Thanks in advance for your help.

What would it cost to have a 53 ft reefer converted to a small house with kitchen and bath? Do you have samples?

Is it possible for you to swap the refrigerator module from a 40 foot container onto the 53 foot container? On that note what is the truss on the ends of some of those containers?

Would it be possible for you to install the 240/408v unit onto a 53ft container?

How can you saw thru the aluminum struts that are embedded in the foam without cutting into the exterior aluminum to leave a lip for screwing the infill panels in the refer unit hole?

Hi great and very helpful video. can you answer a question please? looking to buy a second hand reefer with machinery attached (40 ft with 3 phase electric power unit still attached (40 ft) does the ribbed metal floor in your video work fine with a single pedestrian pallet manual pump unit (meaning try smallest unit for moving IBC's) or will the wheels drop down in to the groves? Thanks in advance? (ps pretty new to this) , thanks.

i would also like to know the density of the PUF used for shipping containers. is 2 inch foam is enough for minus temperatures?

Hi I would like to know, what is the white coating on the internal skin of a refrigerated shipping container ? I will highly appreciate. Thank you

I am thinking about using a reefer container for a beer cooler for a restaurant setting. Can the refrigeration be used that comes with the container? thanks

This is very informative. Thank you. Is it possible to swap a 40ft integrated reefer unit into a 53ft reefer container?

Thanks for the great video. I'm wondering how watertight those riveted exterior sidings are. Are they just riveted or there is some sort of caulking in the riveted joints?

Can you utilize the aluminum floor as a good conductive transfer basis for radiant floor heating?

Soooo, I clicked on this video for the wrong reason. Lol

They're made from Steele correct?
Like what apt.buildings are created from?
How easy , simple is that to build with?

Sir good video Need to more information on the reefer container Sir
