40ft Refrigerated Container

Product overview

A 40ft used certified refrigerated shipping container — also called a 40-foot used reefer or refrigerated container — is a cargo-worthy steel cold-storage unit for sale with commercial refrigeration machinery inspected and certified for dependable temperature control. Used certified grade delivers refrigerated performance at a lower investment than new reefers while meeting export-ready structural standards.

What is certified refrigerated? Each unit passes cargo-worthy structural inspection plus a full pre-trip inspection ensuring the refrigeration system is operational before delivery. Machinery is backed by a 6-month warranty. Choose Thermo King, Carrier, or Daikin refrigeration brands based on your temperature requirements, with optional dual-voltage converter for 230V sites.

Ideal for food distribution, pharmaceutical storage, agricultural cold chain, beverage staging, floral holding, and manufacturing operations needing portable temperature-controlled storage without building a walk-in cooler. Primary search term is refrigerated container; reefer applies as a secondary synonym.

Delivery options

When ordering a 40ft refrigerated shipping container, our delivery process is designed for precision and efficiency. We use two truck types based on your site conditions:

• Tilt-bed truck
  Ideal for easy offloading, it requires 125ft of straight clear space, 12ft width, and 16ft vertical clearance.
• Flatbed truck
  Suitable for locations with on-site equipment like a forklift for unloading. This option requires 65ft of straight clear space, 12ft width, and 14ft vertical clearance, and side access to pick up the container. You can use a 15,000 lb forklift to lift the entire container from the truck.

Before delivery, ensure your site has enough room for the truck to maneuver. Containers can be placed in various locations, but the delivery truck needs adequate space to operate efficiently.

• Delivery time
  Once your container is ready to be dispatched, delivery is usually within 1-3 business days, depending on location.
• Access requirements
  Clear delivery path free of obstructions like trees or power lines.
• Site prep
  We only need room to make the delivery without getting stuck; containers can go anywhere on your site.
• Ground conditions
  Preferably, the ground should be dry. Notify us if the ground is wet or muddy so we can plan accordingly and prevent the truck from getting stuck.
