20ft Climate-Controlled Storage Container

The 20ft climate-controlled storage container is a modified shipping container designed for temperature-sensitive storage applications requiring stable environmental conditions. This unit integrates insulation and a climate control system to maintain consistent temperatures for assets, inventory, and materials that may be affected by temperature fluctuations .

Key Features

• Insulated interior with Styrofoam or polyurethane foam on walls and ceiling for thermal efficiency 

• PTAC climate unit providing 15k BTU cooling capacity and 3.5 kW heating capacity 

• Electrical system including 125A panel, LED lighting, and GFI outlet 

• Marine-grade plywood or bamboo flooring over steel cross-members 

• Operable cargo doors with steel locking bars for secure access 

• Corten steel construction for structural integrity and corrosion resistance 

• Corner castings and forklift pockets for handling and positioning

Detailed Description

The 20ft climate-controlled container is constructed from a steel shipping container and modified with high-density insulation and an active temperature management system. The container body is built from Cor-ten steel, providing structural integrity and resistance to corrosion .

The insulation package typically includes rigid foam panels installed on interior walls and ceilings, reducing heat transfer and improving temperature retention . A PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) climate unit provides both cooling and heating, maintaining stable internal temperatures across seasonal variations .

The electrical system includes LED lighting, a GFI outlet, and a distribution panel with circuit protection . Operable cargo doors provide access for large items . The floor system utilizes durable marine-grade plywood or bamboo flooring over steel cross-members, supporting palletized goods and shelving systems.
