Designed for dependable temperature-controlled storage, this 30 ft freezer container acts as an extension of your existing cold-chain infrastructure. Its integrated reefer unit actively manages the interior, keeping temperatures stable across a range of ambient conditions, whether the unit is parked at a construction site, a catering event, or a distribution center. Built from durable Corten steel, it withstands varied environments and can be transported by standard intermodal methods.
Key Features
- Durable build: Weathering Corten steel stands up to varied environmental conditions across the United States.
- Precise cooling: An integrated refrigeration unit maintains a consistent temperature range suited to frozen goods.
- Configurable: The unit can be fitted with shelving, data loggers, or additional interior lighting to match specific operations.
- Secure: Lockable, weather-sealed double doors at one end protect stored products.
- Intermodal-ready: Standard corner castings allow easy lifting, stacking, and movement by truck, rail, or ship.
The structure resists corrosion and physical impact, and polyurethane foam insulation runs through the walls, floor, and ceiling to limit thermal exchange and reduce the refrigeration system's workload. A T-bar floor allows airflow beneath stored goods and simplifies cleaning. As a 30 ft variant, it balances capacity with a smaller footprint than a 40 ft unit. Modifications are frequently requested, such as internal partitions to separate frozen items or extra ventilation and power outlets for monitoring equipment. The container ships ready to use and requires only connection to a suitable power source to start operating.

This mobile cold-storage cell suits commercial and industrial work in food service, logistics, and agriculture. Common roles include peak-season overflow, off-site storage for caterers, and supplemental freezer space for grocery distributors. It is intended for frozen food, ice, and other temperature-sensitive, non-hazardous materials that do not require an explosion-proof environment.
Package Includes
- 1 x 30 ft refrigerated shipping container
- 1 x Integrated, factory-tested refrigeration unit
- Standard lock boxes on the double-door end
Why a 30ft Freezer Container Fits Sites a 40-Footer Cannot
The 30ft freezer container exists for a practical reason: plenty of yards, kitchens, and packing sheds have room for a long unit but not a forty. Ten feet of difference decides whether a reefer tucks along a building line or blocks a fire lane. You keep most of the pallet capacity, and you gain the ability to place the container where the power and the traffic already are.
It is also a sensible middle step for operations outgrowing a 20ft cold cell. Rather than buying two smaller units and paying to run two compressors, you consolidate into a single controlled space with one power drop and one maintenance schedule.
Specifications at a Glance
- External length: 30 ft, on the standard 8 ft container width
- Machinery: integrated front-mounted refrigeration unit, powered from a site supply
- Interior: T-bar floor for under-pallet airflow, insulated walls, ceiling, and floor
- Access: insulated, gasketed double doors at one end
- Pad requirement: level and firm along the full length so doors and seals stay true
- Handling: corner castings for lifting by crane, side-lifter, or tilt-bed truck
- Customization: shelving, extra lighting, partitions, and monitoring hardware can be specified before dispatch
Cold Storage Container Uses That Suit This Length
Thirty feet works best where the loading pattern is steady rather than seasonal spikes, and where a shorter turning radius matters on delivery day.
- Restaurant groups and central kitchens holding frozen prep between service days
- Butchers, fishmongers, and small processors needing reliable frozen buffer space
- Florists and nurseries holding stock at controlled temperatures
- Construction and industrial sites storing temperature-sensitive adhesives or coatings
- Event caterers who need a portable cold room that can be relocated between venues
Getting the Site Ready Before Delivery
Measure the approach as well as the pad. A tilt-bed delivery wants the container length plus about 40 ft of straight run behind the truck and roughly 15 ft of overhead clearance, so watch for low branches, service cables, and canopy edges. Mark the exact spot with paint or stakes; moving a loaded reefer afterwards is not a small job. Delivery is a flat $500 anywhere in the 50 states, scheduled once the order is confirmed and the route quoted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the interior be split into separate temperature zones?
A single machinery unit controls one air circuit, so a true dual-zone setup is not standard. What can be fitted is an insulated partition that creates a slightly warmer anteroom or a staging area, reducing cold loss at the door. Tell us what you are storing and we will confirm what the customization options can realistically achieve.
What maintenance does the refrigeration unit need?
Treat it like any commercial refrigeration plant. Keep the condenser coil clean, check door gaskets for splits, verify the drain is clear, and have a refrigeration technician service the unit on a regular schedule. Most premature failures trace back to blocked airflow or a damaged seal rather than the compressor itself.
Do I pay sales tax on top of the listed price?
No. Prices on this site are tax-inclusive, so the figure you see is the figure you pay for the unit, with the flat $500 delivery charge added separately at checkout. If you need a formal quote or a purchase order handled for your accounts team, contact us and we will prepare the paperwork.
