High cube configuration with 9 ft 6 in exterior height, providing approximately 8 ft 4 in of interior clearance
-
Integral refrigeration unit with digital temperature control and data logging capabilities
-
Temperature range capable of maintaining consistent temperatures from -30°C to +30°C (-22°F to +86°F)
-
Stainless steel interior lining for improved hygiene and corrosion resistance
-
Aluminum T-bar flooring designed for optimal air circulation beneath and around palletized cargo
-
Cor-ten steel construction for structural integrity and durability
-
Intermodal compatibility with standard corner castings, forklift pockets, and lifting points
-
ISO and CSC certification for international shipping compliance
Detailed Description
This 40ft high cube reefer container is constructed with a multi-material design: an outer shell of corrosion-resistant steel, an inner lining of stainless steel, and high-performance polyurethane insulation layers in between . The high cube configuration provides approximately 1 foot of additional height compared to standard containers, increasing the cubic capacity to approximately 67-68 cubic meters (2,366-2,408 cubic feet) .
The integral refrigeration system is typically equipped with a Carrier, Thermo King, or Daikin unit, operating on a three-phase power supply (380-460V, 50/60 Hz) . Advanced microprocessor controls regulate internal temperatures, ensuring cargo integrity throughout the transport chain.
The aluminum T-bar flooring supports forklift loading and allows cold air to circulate efficiently around cargo, maintaining uniform temperatures from floor to ceiling . The stainless steel interior is bacteria-resistant and facilitates cleaning between loads .
