THE BOX
Shipping containers, originally manufactured in the Pacific Rim, are designed for durability and efficiency. These poultry cold storage units, typically 40′ in length and 9′ in height, are used to transport export goods across the globe, stacked up to eight high on massive ocean freighters. Their corrugated metal shells provide exceptional strength, making them highly transportable, stackable, and cost-effective. For our units, we use ‘one-trippers,’ containers that are like new, ensuring quality and reliability for housing your poultry slaughtering equipment.
Please note that site preparation, rinse water disposal, utilities hookup, and container offloading are not included in the base price/building of your container process. Prices are subject to change based on market conditions and customization needs. By utilizing these robust poultry cold storage containers, we deliver an innovative and efficient solution for your chicken processing needs.
