The 40ft High Cube Refrigerated Storage Container with Carrier Primeline machinery is built for transporting and storing temperature-sensitive cargo. Its high cube form adds an extra foot of internal height over a standard unit, increasing volume for a wide mix of perishable and non-perishable goods. The unit runs on 3-phase power and holds steady interior conditions for chilled or frozen commodities.
Key Features
- Carrier Primeline refrigeration: A high-performance, energy-efficient system using an electronic expansion valve and advanced control software to manage temperature tolerances.
- High cube configuration: The 9'6" external height adds internal cubic capacity for taller loads and maximized storage within a fixed footprint.
- Robust T-floor: A durable aluminum T-floor (often grade 6082 T6) channels air from the refrigeration unit through the cargo area and bears heavy loading.
- Durable exterior and interior: A corrosion-resistant exterior such as Corten steel pairs with a food-grade stainless steel or aluminum interior lining for hygiene and durability.
- Low air leakage: Efficient door seals and sill design minimize air exchange, cutting energy use and stabilizing internal conditions.
This reefer is built for the demands of intermodal transport and static storage and is manufactured to ISO standards, ensuring compatibility with global shipping, rail, and trucking. The integrated Carrier Primeline unit delivers precise temperature control and consistent airflow, essential for preserving cargo quality over long distances or extended periods. Reinforced box components and durable underfloor assemblies improve longevity and resist operational damage, while effective insulation achieves a low heat-leakage value that supports energy efficiency and temperature stability. The unit can hold a range of temperatures suited to frozen foods, chilled produce, and controlled-environment goods.

This 40ft high cube reefer fits many supply-chain and industrial roles. It is used for the long-distance transport of perishable food such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy; for storing temperature-sensitive non-food items including certain pharmaceuticals, flowers, and agricultural products; for on-site temperature-controlled storage at warehouses, distribution centers, or events; and as a temporary or permanent cold room where additional refrigerated space is required.
A 40ft High Cube Refrigerated Container With Carrier Primeline Machinery
Choosing a 40ft high cube refrigerated container comes down to two things: how much you need to store, and how tightly you need the temperature held. The high cube frame gives you the extra foot of interior height, which matters more in a reefer than a dry box because insulated ceilings and floors already eat into headroom. Carrier Primeline machinery handles the control side, using an electronic expansion valve to hold setpoint rather than cycling hard around it.
For static cold storage, that stability is the whole value. Tight control means fewer temperature excursions, less energy wasted recovering from them, and a cleaner record if you have to document conditions for a customer or auditor.
Specifications at a Glance
- Frame: 40 ft high cube reefer, 9'6" external height
- External footprint: 40 ft long x 8 ft wide
- Interior: reduced from dry-container figures by the insulated envelope and machinery bay
- Floor: aluminum T-floor that channels supply air the length of the cargo space
- Power: three-phase supply; confirm the connection with a licensed electrician before delivery
- Machinery access: keep the front end clear for airflow and service panel access
- Handling: ISO corner castings; heavier tare than a dry 40 ft container of the same length
Refrigerated Storage Container Uses for a High Cube Reefer
The added height suits anyone stacking product upward rather than just filling floor space, and anyone using taller pallets or racking inside the box.
- Cold-chain buffer storage at distribution and cross-dock facilities
- Produce, dairy, and floral inventory needing consistent chilled conditions
- Frozen storage for processors during peak production periods
- Controlled storage of chemicals, coatings, or biologicals with narrow temperature limits
- Backup capacity when a fixed cold room is down for maintenance
Buying, Powering, and Receiving the Unit
Sort the electrical supply before the container is scheduled, and plan for a proper commissioning run: power it up empty, let it hold setpoint, and confirm the controller readings before loading. On delivery day, remember the 9'6" height when checking gateways, canopies, and overhead cables, and allow roughly 40 ft of straight clearance behind the drop point. Shipping is a flat $500 to all 50 states with prices shown tax-inclusive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I monitor the temperature remotely?
Reefer controllers of this type support data logging, and many installations add a remote monitoring device so staff can check conditions and receive alarms off site. What is available depends on the controller fitted and how you set the unit up. If remote monitoring is essential to your operation, tell us before ordering so we can confirm the options.
How does a high cube reefer differ from a standard height one?
The external height is 9'6" instead of 8'6", which adds a foot of usable interior. In a refrigerated unit, that extra headroom often decides whether a standard pallet stack fits with the airflow gap the system needs above the load. Blocking that gap is the most common cause of uneven temperatures inside a reefer.
What happens if the unit needs service after delivery?
Reefer machinery is serviced by commercial refrigeration technicians, and parts for widely used marine systems are generally available through refrigeration suppliers. Keep the condenser clean and the gaskets intact and most issues stay minor. If you have questions about the specific unit in stock, call (440) 379-3940 and we will go through the detail with you.
