40ft Refrigerated Container – Used, PTI Certified

The 40ft Refrigerated Container is a mobile cold storage unit for the secure transport and storage of temperature-sensitive cargo. With a durable steel frame and insulated sandwich panels, it carries an integrated refrigeration system that holds precise internal conditions. It is a standard fit for logistics operations, cold chain management, and auxiliary storage across many industries.

Key Features

• Precise temperature control: The integrated refrigeration unit holds a consistent range, adjustable from -22°F to +86°F (-30°C to +30°C), for a wide variety of frozen or chilled goods.
• Robust insulated construction: Walls combine a steel frame with a polyurethane foam sandwich roughly 10-12 cm thick for thermal efficiency and structural integrity.
• Efficient air circulation: A T-shaped aluminum floor supports "bottom air delivery," circulating cold air evenly from the floor up through the goods.
• Durable and hygienic interior: The interior lining resists moisture and is easy to clean, supporting hygiene standards for food-related storage.
• Secure rear door access: Double-wing doors at one end use a continuous rubber gasket seal to prevent air leakage and are secured with multiple galvanized locking rods.
• Standardized dimensions: Built to industry-standard external dimensions for compatibility with standard road chassis, rail, and ocean freight equipment.

Refrigerated containers, known as "reefers," are specialized intermodal containers for transporting perishable goods that need temperature control. Unlike standard dry containers, a reefer carries an end-mounted refrigeration unit that compresses and evaporates refrigerant in a continuous loop to remove heat from the sealed interior.

The 40ft model is among the most widely used sizes for large-scale logistics, offering substantial internal volume while staying maneuverable. Operation needs a consistent power supply, typically a 460V 3-phase connection from a generator, a vessel outlet, or a terminal point. The unit's microprocessor allows precise temperature settings and monitors the internal atmosphere, which is critical for preserving product quality and reducing spoilage during transit or storage. Its robust design lets it be stacked when loaded, making it efficient for storage yards and vessel transport.

This 40ft refrigerated container is intended for commercial and industrial use and is compatible with standard heavy goods vehicle trailers, rail cars, and container ships. Its primary applications include cold chain logistics, keeping frozen foods (meat, seafood, ice cream) and chilled produce (dairy, fruits, vegetables) intact during transport; pharmaceutical storage, providing a controlled environment for medicines, vaccines, and biologics that need stable, cool conditions; on-site cold storage, adding frozen or chilled capacity for caterers, grocery distributors, agricultural operations, or seasonal events; and industrial applications, storing temperature-sensitive materials, chemicals, or phase-changing materials.

Package Includes

• 1 x 40ft High Cube Refrigerated Container
• 1 x Integrated Nose-Mounted Refrigeration Unit
• Container is sold as a standalone unit. Power cables, generators, or temperature monitoring services are not included unless specified separately.
