The DNV 2.7-1 freezer units feature dual temperature settings for chiller or freezer, have hygienic, easy-to-clean stainless steel interiors and data loggers, allowing a record of operational temperature from dispatch to delivery.

They are available to hire either on their own or as part of the overall, flexible package of modules from Ferguson Modular, comprising a full range of accommodation units sleeping one to eight people, and workspace modules including offices, laboratories, laundry, changing rooms, galleys, and mess and workshop units.

Gary Wilson, director of business development at the Ferguson Group's modular division, said: "This investment in our freezer fleet is in response to strong market demand for the product which is used by our clients around the world. We have had a high level of enquiries for the units while they have been in production and we look forward to fulfilling our client's requirements.

Ferguson Modular has a reputation for manufacturing the highest quality accommodation and workspace modules currently available in the global marketplace. All products are built in-house to the latest specifications and with this control over the production process Ferguson Modular can guarantee the quality of the end product and delivery schedules.
