Reefer container 40 ft High Cube cargo-worthy

What is the condition of a used refrigerated container? The 40 ft used refrigerated container, or REEFER, is a former shipping container that was used for several years in the international transport of temperature-sensitive goods. It still features an operational refrigeration unit, polyurethane foam insulation and a watertight structure capable of maintaining a stable temperature. However, its past at sea leaves visible marks: cosmetic defects, scratches, dents, corrosion or even previous repairs (welds, wooden reinforcements). The doors may be less smooth in use. These deteriorations do not affect its ability to maintain the cold. Is the refrigeration unit checked before delivery? Yes, all our used refrigerated containers undergo a rigorous technical inspection called PTI (Pre-Trip Inspection), carried out by a qualified professional. This test verifies the proper operation of the entire refrigeration system: compressor, sensors, fan unit, control panel, electrical connections… The container is run empty to validate its ability to reach and maintain the programmed temperature. It is delivered ready to plug in. The engine, however, is no longer covered by a manufacturer's warranty: any incident occurring after purchase remains the customer's responsibility. What temperature does it deliver? The 40 ft REEFER container can regulate an internal temperature between +20 °C and -20 °C. This setting is made directly via a digital control panel located on the refrigeration unit. The unit can be used for chilled or frozen operation and retains excellent thermal stability thanks to its insulation and the power of its refrigeration unit. Even when subjected to varied weather conditions, it efficiently maintains the setpoint, whether in a warehouse or outdoors. What types of products can be stored in it? The 40 ft refrigerated container allows safe storage of products that require precise temperature control. This includes foodstuffs (meat, fish, dairy products, ready meals, pastries, etc.) but also non-food goods such as medicines, cosmetics or special chemical products. Its large capacity is particularly appreciated in the food industry, logistics, events or large-scale retail, especially for seasonal storage or during periods of high activity. Does the used refrigerated container comply with sanitary standards? Yes. The interior of the REEFER container is made of food-grade aluminium, a durable and easy-to-clean material designed to limit bacterial growth. Combined with injected foam insulation without thermal bridges, it offers stable, hygienic conditions perfectly suited to professional use. It can therefore be used to store sensitive goods, provided a regular maintenance protocol is followed. Even if it does not come with an agri-food certification at sale, it remains compliant with hygiene standards for logistics use. What electrical supply is required? The 40 ft REEFER requires a three-phase 380 V power supply to operate its refrigeration unit. This voltage is common in industrial settings. Connection is usually made via a CEE 32A 5-pin socket. Before installation, you should make sure that the site is equipped with a compatible connection. In case of doubt, a professional electrician can assist you with the container's connection. Once plugged in, the unit is operational immediately. How is the cold produced inside? In a refrigerated container, the cold is generated and diffused by an industrial refrigeration unit located at the rear of the container, opposite the doors. This system includes a powerful fan that blows cold air toward the back, creating a continuous flow along the walls. The air then circulates through the T-floor, designed to allow air to rise between the loads. This closed circuit guarantees a homogeneous temperature distribution, with no hot spots, regardless of the load and the outside conditions. The result: a stable, reliable temperature throughout the entire interior volume. Does the REEFER container have a humidity regulation function? Yes, the 40 ft refrigerated container is equipped with a humidity control mode. This function regulates the humidity level inside the container to avoid excess condensation. It is adjustable from the control panel within a range that varies according to the model. This option is particularly useful for storing moisture-sensitive products, such as fruit and vegetables for example. It contributes to the proper preservation of goods and limits the risks of deterioration linked to ambient humidity. Download the technical datasheet
