The most rugged, dependable and easy-to-operate generator sets for refrigerated container units. Carrier's industry-leading PowerLINE Generator Sets are designed and built for continuous, unattended operation for all refrigerated containers transported by road or rail worldwide.

What type of generator is used for refrigerated shipping containers?

• Diesel generators: Diesel generators are the most common type of generator used for refrigerated shipping containers. They are reliable, durable, and can provide a lot of power. However, diesel generators can be noisy and expensive to operate.

How much power does a refrigerated shipping container need?

Power requirements The amount of power needed for a refrigerated shipping container depends on the size of the container, what's being shipped, and the ambient temperature. To make sure the refrigeration unit works properly, you'll need to pick a generator that can provide enough power.

Do refrigerated containers have generators?

Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators. These allow for independent power generation during transit or in areas without external power access. Operators can use diesel generators in remote locations or when stationary power is unavailable. These portable units provide energy to keep the cooling system running.
