Used 20ft reefer containers

Used 20ft refrigerated container | Reefer container for transport

Product overview

This used 20-foot refrigerated container offers a practical solution for temperature-controlled storage or transport. Made from durable materials and equipped with an integrated refrigeration unit, it is designed to guarantee a constant internal temperature for various temperature-sensitive goods. As a used container, it is a functional option for businesses looking for reliable chilled storage space. Thanks to its compact size, the container can be placed in locations where a larger container might not be feasible.

Key features

Integrated cooling unit: Equipped with a powerful, built-in cooling system (brands can be Carrier or Thermo King) that can maintain a set temperature.

Robust construction: Featuring a corrosion-resistant weathering steel frame and a stainless steel interior lining, ensuring durability and thermal efficiency.

Verified structural integrity: Each container has been inspected to guarantee that it is wind and watertight, with functioning doors and seals.

T-section aluminium floor The floor is designed with T-shaped aluminium profiles to promote optimal circulation of cold air beneath the cargo, guaranteeing a uniform temperature distribution in the interior.

Standardised dimensions: Built to ISO standards, ensuring compatibility with standard transport and shipping equipment.

Detailed description

A used 20ft refrigerated container serves as a mobile refrigeration unit, suitable for various static storage or logistics applications. The container is constructed with a steel frame and insulated walls, usually using high-density polyurethane foam in a sandwich construction. This insulation, often 10-12 cm thick, minimises heat exchange with the external environment, allowing the integrated refrigeration unit to operate efficiently.

The term “used” refers to a container that has been in service previously. As a result, the exterior shows signs of prior use, such as minor dents, scratches or surface rust. However, the core functionality remains intact. The structural integrity has been checked and is guaranteed, ensuring the unit is wind- and watertight for secure storage. The refrigeration unit has been operationally tested and is ready for use. These units offer a cost-effective entry model for the purchase of refrigerated goods compared to new ones.

Airflow is a crucial component of the operation of a refrigeration unit. The unit cools the air and circulates it from underneath through the cargo, with the T-shaped floor acting as a plenum. The corrugated interior walls also help to guide the airflow, preventing dead zones and maintaining the set temperature throughout the cargo. The control panel on the outside of the unit allows for precise monitoring and adjustment of the internal temperature.
