An undermount diesel generator (undermount generator) or undermount genset is used for autonomous power supply of the refrigeration unit of a reefer container when transporting temperature-sensitive cargo by road.
Renting undermount diesel generators for reefer containers allows you to avoid significant capital expenditures on purchasing equipment while ensuring uninterrupted logistics and autonomous power for the reefer container.
Features and advantages of undermount diesel generators
An undermount generator for a refrigerated container is installed under the frame of the container chassis and does not take up additional space on the transport platform, unlike a clip‑on container generator, which is attached directly to the reefer container.
A reefer genset is used with 40‑ and 20‑foot refrigerated containers and can operate with refrigeration units from Carrier, Thermo King, Daikin and Star Cool.
When is renting undermount diesel generators for reefer containers beneficial?
Renting a container generator is economically advantageous in the following cases:
- seasonal cargo transportation;
- temporary logistics projects;
- irregular equipment usage;
- rapid expansion of the container fleet;
- repair or temporary replacement of your own generator.
An additional benefit of renting a genset is the absence of capital investment in purchasing a diesel generator for a reefer container, as well as reduced ongoing costs for maintenance and upkeep of your own equipment fleet during downtime.
