How Often Should Shipping Container Refrigeration Units Be Maintained?
Shipping container refrigeration units need to be serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance ensures that the refrigeration unit functions as it should. A broken refrigeration unit in a shipping container can be costly, as the cargo often needs to remain cool.
There can also be issues with insurance companies if an unmaintained refrigeration unit breaks down and the cargo is damaged. Many insurance policies require that the shipping container’s refrigeration unit is regularly maintained.
When maintaining shipping container refrigeration units, we consider what was done during the previous maintenance and how long it has been since the last maintenance. For example, the amount of refrigerant is checked to ensure there are no leaks.
