refer containers
 

Just had a quote for container and it's been changed to a refer!

What's the difference?

Are there any advantages/disadvantages??

Thanks in advance:)

The sizes http://www.rock-itcargo.com/container_sizes.html

a refer...is an ex - 'refrigation' container. Smaller to allow for the workings and insulation etc.. 27m3 compared to 33m3.

Hey Sam,

Don't use a reefer your stuff could end up smelling like Grimsby docks if you know what I mean:ohmy:

When you going? We've got Crown coming on 2nd Jan.
Where are you upto with the old house selling shenanigans?

Re: refer containers
 

we had refer and things arrived with no mould or mildew. I'm sure I read somewhere that they were better in relation to this due to type of insulation or something.

Put 'em in a air-tight tin and pack it with coffee, nobody will ever know.

Oh, "Refer" ...

Reefer :lol: We used one. Brilliant and everything fitted in from a large 3 bed house with full loft and three full shed/workshops. Still kicking ourselves we didn't bring the concrete mixer but never mind. There is less likelihood of rust or damage (supposedly) as food is normally carried.

Whatever you go for, remember that when the container arrives and before they start loading it, to ask one of the guys to take you inside and shut the doors so you can see for yourself there are no holes anywhere.

alright, alright... p*ss taken deservedly so:rofl: but i actually copied the spelling from the quote from Crown:eek:

Re: refer containers
 

just make sure they cover the slat floor with card board.............mm;)

Re: refer containers
 

Sorry if i'm being dumb:rofl: but are you saying that the floors on a reefer are not solid wood?

Thanks, sam:)

Re: refer containers
 

Yes they are made up of metal slats,these containers get hosed out so a wooden floor would rot.
If they dont cover the slats, the bases of your furniture /feet etc can be damaged. I can remember spending 1/2 an hour trying to get a washing machine foot out of floor slats,reefers are just a cheap option the companies hire them for bugga all....so as to relocate them back to the food exporting countries...................;)mm
