Pre-inspected second-hand cold storage containers, fully adapted for EU cold-storage compliance and high-efficiency inland road/rail switching.
Positioned as the primary intermodal crossroad of the Visegrád Group and the Western Balkans, Hungary's food processing, pharmaceutical, and cold warehousing sectors require robust, thermally stable storage solutions.
Connecting the Adriatic seaports (Koper, Rijeka) to Budapest, logistics hubs in BILK and East-West Gate (Fényeslitke) leverage second-hand reefer containers to bridge multi-day dwell times during rail-to-truck intermodal conversions.
The Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld) produces extensive yields of poultry, pork, frozen berries, and wines. Modular used reefers provide decentralized blast-freezing and cold-holding capacity directly at farm gates during peak harvest cycles.
Supported by Hungary's substantial pharmaceutical footprint (Richter Gedeon, Egis), reefer units customized to operate between +2°C and +8°C deliver emergency auxiliary storage conforming to strict Good Distribution Practice (GDP) mandates.
Capital-efficiency, localized energy stability, and strict European environmental mandates are driving Central European supply chain directors toward certified remanufactured cold chain infrastructure.
Electricity prices in Central Europe incentivize upgrades to micro-channel condensers and variable-speed scroll compressors (Carrier PrimeLINE, Daikin LXE), lowering operating kWh draw by up to 35% compared to legacy installations.
Under Regulation (EU) 2024/573, all marine reefers entering stationary service in Hungary are verified for low-GWP refrigerant containment (R-134a, R-452A, or R-513A) with non-destructive leak testing completed prior to export release.
Procuring raw containers is insufficient for domestic distribution. Our ODM program outfits used boxes with PVC strip curtains, anti-panic internal safety door latches, flat slip-resistant aluminum flooring, and interior LED lighting.

Meeting statutory environmental, transport, and safety codes while integrating intelligent edge monitoring for cold chains.
Every used unit earmarked for international rail or truck routes through the Central European transit network carries a verified CSC (Container Safety Convention) safety plate with minimum 12-30 months validity, alongside optional ATP (Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs) compliance testing.
We integrate autonomous 4G/5G NB-IoT gateway sensors tracking temperature, humidity, door-opening status, and compressor power draw in real time, delivering automated alerts straight to operations centers in Budapest via secure REST API protocols.
Our upcoming engineering roadmap features ultra-thin flexible roof-mounted photovoltaic arrays connected to buffer battery modules, lowering baseline electric grid dependency and safeguarding temperature-sensitive cargo during unexpected depot power interruptions.

Crucial guidance regarding power integration, delivery logistics, inspection guarantees, and custom modifications.
Shipments destined for Hungary typically discharge at the Port of Koper (Slovenia) or Rijeka (Croatia), followed by scheduled block-train rail transport or road trailer directly to intermodal yards in Budapest, Győr, or Debrecen. We also provide direct truck transport with integrated offloading options depending on site access.
Yes. All units destined for the Hungarian and broader EU markets are calibrated for 380V/440V, 3-Phase, 50/60 Hz power supplies. Units feature standardized CEE-form 32A 4-pin industrial plugs. For mobile intermodal transfers, we configure diesel clip-on generator sets (gensets) with dual-voltage output.
Every used refrigerated container undergoes a certified 100-step PTI test run before release. This includes verifying compressor suction/discharge pressures, automated heating/cooling cycles from -25°C to +20°C, high-voltage insulation integrity, defrost cycle functionality, and gas leak spectrometry.
Yes, through our dedicated ODM program. We regularly supply food-grade stainless steel (SS304) internal lining, flat floor conversions over standard T-bar flooring for smooth hand-pallet jack operation, butcher-door additions, interior emergency escape releases, and specialized antibacterial PVC air curtains.
