Description

A clip-on diesel generator set for refrigerated shipping containers, listed at $4,500. It is for anyone who needs to keep a container's refrigeration running on a chassis, in a yard or anywhere without shore power.

A refrigerated container runs on three-phase electricity, and a clip-on genset carries its own. It hangs on the front of the box over the refrigeration machinery, fastened to the header rail or the corner castings, and plugs into the container's power socket. A standard container needs nothing modified to take one, and the set can be removed in minutes when the trip ends. Besides road and rail haulage, buyers use them to power a container parked at a farm, event site or remote job with no suitable power supply.

Clip-on sets of this class are generally built around a small water-cooled diesel driving a 15 kW generator at 460 volts, with an integral fuel tank for extended running between fills. This listing is an entry-price set in our parts and accessories range. Its make, model, year and hours were not recorded, so ask us before you order and we will tell you exactly which set it is and send its details.
