CONTAINER TERMINALS
OUR PRDDUCTS

We advise, design, supply and if required, we install products to connect reefer containers. Voortman
Steel Construction supplies these products to container terminals all over the world. Our product range
consists of reefer racks, reefer safety tunnels and high-mast lightings.

OUR PRODUCTS
REEFER RACKS
The objective of a reefer rack is to provide stacked reefer containers (refrigerated containers) with power
in a safe and easy way. A reefer rack can be built up in various ways. Depending on your logistics plan and
the infrastructure on site, we map out your wishes and make a suitable design.

Furthermore, we have developed a modular reefer rack concept which has a flexible lay-out, is dismantable
and can easily be extended. This means that the design you have chosen can grow with your business or
can be moved to another site.

ADVANTAGES MODULAR REEFER RACK:

• Safe
• Sustainable
• Flexible lay-out
• Dismantable
• Prefab
• Short construction time
• Easy assembly
• CE-marking

OPTIONS:
• Roof
• Façade (e.g.: safety screen for stack crane)
• Waiting room for drivers
• Doors

“WE COME UP WITH A SUITABLE SOLUTION, WHETHER

IT IS A MODULAR REEFER RACK OR A CUSTOMIZED
SOLUTION!”

OUR PRODUCTS
REEFER SAFETY TUNNEL
The objective of a reefer safety tunnel is to provide safe access to the reefer racks. In this way, personnel
of the container terminal does not have to cross the stacking area, where unsafe situations may occur.

Our reefer safety tunnels are containers which have been adjusted into tunnel elements. By connecting
these tunnel elements, a safe passage for your personnel is created. The tunnels have been designed in
such a way that your reefer containers can be simply placed on top.

HIGH-MAST LIGHTING
A steel lattice mast with ladder and platform for the assembly of devices. The high-mast lighting is a
three-sided lattice, conically shaped and made in sections of six metres. At the masthead, a square
platform is provided. Additional line protection at 50 centimetres from the gratings. On the inside of the
mast a ladder is provided, which runs as fall arrester.

OUR SERVICE
PROJECTS
We do of course carry out the projects we take on with the greatest possible care, entirely under our own
management. We draw up a customised action plan for every project in order to identify opportunities
for optimisation and any potential risks. We set up the build processes as efficiently as possible. This
results in a project to a high-quality standard delivered within the agreed schedule. The project manager
responsible conducts the entire process and involves the right staff and knowhow. We coordinate all
processes from design up to and including completion seamlessly with one another.

EXPORT, DELIVERY AND TRANSPORT

You can also decide to carry out assembly works yourself. Voortman Steel Construction produces and
supplies reefer racks to third parties all over the world. Many reefer racks are shipped from our production
site on a yearly basis. In order to deliver them as efficiently as possible, we also offer transport solutions
both for inland and ocean freight. We cooperate closely with international transport companies and ship
our products in containers, by open or tilt transport.

SUPERVISION
In case you will assemble the reefer racks yourself, we think it is important you do this as efficiently as
possible. That is why we offer the possibility to have one of our supervisors on site, who will support you
during the assembly works.
