SITE AND SHELTER REQUIREMENTS.
SITING.
1. Transport. The refrigerated container system is designed for highway, railway and water transport of perishable
materials. Load and transport the refrigerated container system only on equipment compatible with MIL-VAN transport
requirements.
2. Fixed Site. When operating the refrigerated container at a fixed site, select an area that is flat and level, and provides
good water drainage away from container. If the refrigeration unit will be powered by an external electrical source, the
refrigerated container must be located within 20 feet of the electrical source.

The refrigerated container does not require special sheltering. If shelter is available, storing the container under cover will
minimize routine maintenance.
