Shipping High-Capacity Dairy Coolers

Shipping Methods

High-capacity dairy coolers are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) cargo using standard 20- or 40ft refrigerated containers. Exceptionally large or oddly shaped coolers may require OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment with special handling. Breakbulk shipment is a less likely option for coolers exceeding standard container dimensions.
