20ft Refrigerated Container

$4,500.00

Refrigerated shipping containers are the ideal way to transport and store goods that require reliable temperature-controlled facilities. When shipping or storing meat, cheese, dairy or seafood, a refrigerated container, also known as a ‘reefer’, is an absolute must-have. Fruits, flowers and many vegetables also need a steady temperature to make sure they arrive at their destination in their best condition, though they may only require an insulated container – it really does depend on the product, how far you are shipping, and how long the journey takes.

Description

20ft Refrigerated Container

This 20ft refrigerated shipping container, commonly known as a reefer, is an insulated unit equipped with an integral refrigeration system. It is designed for the transport and storage of temperature-sensitive cargo, providing a controlled environment for a variety of goods, including food products and pharmaceuticals.

Key Features

  • Integrated refrigeration unit with digital temperature control for precise climate management

  • Wide temperature range from -35°C to +30°C to accommodate chilled or frozen goods 

  • Stainless steel interior lining for improved hygiene, durability, and corrosion resistance 

  • T-bar flooring system designed for optimal air circulation beneath and around palletized cargo 

  • Comprehensive insulation with polyurethane foam in walls, ceiling, and floor to maintain thermal efficiency

  • Air circulation system ensuring uniform temperature distribution from floor to ceiling with top airflow 

  • CSC certification for regulatory compliance and intermodal transport compatibility

  • Forklift pockets and ISO corner castings for ease of handling and positioning

Detailed Description

The 20ft refrigerated container is constructed with high-performance insulation to minimize heat transfer and maintain stable internal temperatures . The integral refrigeration unit, typically from Carrier, Thermo King, or Daikin, operates on a three-phase power supply and is managed through a digital interface for accurate temperature adjustments .

The T-bar flooring system is a critical design feature that allows cold air to circulate freely beneath palletized goods . Combined with corrugated side walls that facilitate airflow, this ensures the entire cargo area maintains uniform temperature. The interior also features a stainless steel lining that is easy to clean and highly resistant to corrosion, essential for food-grade and pharmaceutical applications .

These containers are commonly used for both active shipping and as a cost-effective alternative to building permanent cold storage facilities for on-site warehousing .
