20ft Used Reefer Container | Refrigerated Shipping Container

Product Overview

This 20ft used reefer container offers a practical solution for temperature-controlled storage or transport. Constructed with durable materials and equipped with an integrated refrigeration unit, it is designed to maintain consistent interior conditions for a variety of temperature-sensitive goods. As a pre-owned unit, it presents a functional option for businesses seeking reliable refrigerated space. Its compact footprint allows for placement in areas where a larger unit may not be feasible.

Key Features

• Integrated Refrigeration Unit: Equipped with a powerful, built-in cooling system (brands may include Carrier or Thermo King) capable of maintaining a set temperature range.
• Robust Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant Corten steel outer frame and a stainless steel interior lining, providing durability and thermal efficiency .
• Verified Structural Integrity: Each unit has been inspected to ensure it is wind and watertight, with functional doors and seals .
• “T-Bar” Aluminum Flooring: The floor is designed with T-shaped aluminum extrusions to facilitate optimal cold air circulation beneath the cargo, ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the interior .
• Standardized Dimensions: Built to ISO standards, ensuring compatibility with standard shipping and transport equipment .

Detailed Description

A used 20ft reefer container serves as a mobile refrigerated unit, suitable for a range of static storage or logistical applications. The container’s construction involves a steel frame with insulated walls, typically utilizing high-density polyurethane foam in a sandwich panel design .

This insulation, often 10-12 cm thick, minimizes thermal exchange with the external environment, allowing the integrated refrigeration unit to operate efficiently .

The term “used” refers to a container that has previously been in service. Consequently, the exterior will exhibit signs of prior use, such as minor dents, scratches, or surface rust. However, its core functionality remains intact. The structural integrity is verified to be sound, ensuring the unit is wind and watertight for secure storage .

The refrigeration unit is operationally tested and is ready for use. These units provide a cost-effective entry point for acquiring refrigerated assets compared to new equivalents.

Airflow is a critical component of a reefer’s operation. The unit cools the air and circulates it from the floor up through the cargo, using the “T-bar” floor as a plenum .

The interior corrugated walls also assist in guiding the airflow, preventing dead spots and ensuring that the set temperature is maintained throughout the load .

The control panel on the exterior of the unit allows for precise monitoring and adjustment of the internal temperature.
