Companies like restaurants looking for refrigerated containers for long term or seasonal storage regularly purchase used refrigerated shipping containers to put onsite and fill as needed. Unlike a traditional freezer, they can be powered up and down as needed and often located offsite and moved around as their demand expands to contracts.

Two things to consider if your company is looking to purchase reefers for food storage, refrigerated containers require three phase power so a traditional extension cord to power the unit won't do the trick. You'll need a heavy duty power source to keep the generators running. The second item is that you may not be able to get a life time manifest of everything that the container carried, so you'll want to clean it thoroughly before using it. That being said, most likely things storage in the reefer will be packed, frozen goods and they won't come into contact with the container itself.
