Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can alter their stability and cause fire or release toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
These fluctuations are often difficult to identify, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals must use a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to react quickly to any abnormalities and avoid any risk.

They feature double doors at both ends, which enhances accessibility and expedites loading and unloading processes during transportation and warehousing.
