40ft High Cube Reefer Container Fairly Used

This 40ft high cube refrigerated shipping container is a temperature-controlled unit designed for the transport and storage of perishable goods. Available in a fairly used condition, it offers a functional solution for operations requiring reliable cold chain logistics without the investment in a new unit .

Key Features

• Integrated refrigeration unit with a digital control panel for precise temperature management

• Temperature range from -25°C to +25°C, supporting chilled or frozen cargo requirements 

• Stainless steel interior lining for improved hygiene and corrosion resistance 

• Aluminum T-floor designed for optimal air circulation and forklift access 

• High cube configuration providing additional interior height compared to standard containers

• Corten steel frame with thermally insulated sandwich walls 

• Double cargo doors on one end with secure locking hardware

• CSC certification for regulatory compliance and transport safety 

Detailed Description

This 40ft high cube refrigerated container is constructed for temperature-controlled logistics. The high cube designation provides approximately 2,896 mm (9 ft 6 in) of exterior height, creating additional internal volume compared to standard height containers .

The unit is powered by an electric refrigeration system, typically equipped with a Carrier or Thermo King machine that operates on a 3-phase power supply (400-500V) . The digital control panel enables temperature adjustments within the -25°C to +25°C range .

The container body features a robust Corten steel frame with stainless steel interior panels and an aluminum T-floor. This construction supports hygiene, durability, and airflow for temperature-sensitive cargo . The aluminum T-floor is designed to allow cold air to circulate beneath and around palletized goods . Polyurethane foam insulation with 10-12cm thick walls maintains thermal efficiency .

As a “fairly used” unit, this container has completed multiple service voyages but has been inspected and verified as structurally sound and functionally operational. Used units typically show signs of wear such as scratches, dents, or surface rust, but remain wind- and watertight with intact sealing and insulation . With a proper preventative maintenance plan and stable power supply, a used reefer can remain functional for 5-10 years .
