Refrigerated Containers for Food & Beverage Businesses

When your walk-in cooler fails, inventory arrives early, or peak season hits — cold storage gaps cost real money. Spoiled product, lost revenue, failed health inspections, missed service windows.

Conexwest refrigerated and freezer containers give restaurants, breweries, food trucks, grocery stores, and food processors fast, NSF/FDA-compliant cold storage. Available in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft sizes. Plug-and-play at +32°F to +75°F, with freezer and blast freezer options down to -40°F.

Common F&B cold storage questions

Can a refrigerated container replace my walk-in cooler during repair?

Yes — a 20ft single-phase reefer plugs into your existing 220V outlet and provides equivalent cubic capacity. Most operators have it operational within hours of delivery

20ft single-phase reefer

+ Are your containers HACCP and health-department compliant?

Yes. Food-grade stainless steel interiors, sealed floors, NSF/FDA-compliant materials, and digital temperature logs meet HACCP, FDA, and local health-department requirements. Compliance documentation ships with every unit.

+ What temperature can I hold for fresh produce vs. frozen seafood?

Fresh produce: +34°F to +40°F — use a standard refrigerated container. Frozen seafood for long-term storage: −10°F to −20°F — use a blast freezer container. See the Temperature Guide above for full ranges.

Standard refrigerated container Blast freezer container

+ Can I rent a reefer just for a single event or weekend?

Yes. Daily, weekly, and monthly rentals are available for events, festivals, weddings, and catering jobs. A 20ft rental is the most common pick for short-term ops. Delivery and pickup included.

20ft rental

+ How quickly can you deliver to my restaurant or commissary?

Same-week delivery on common 20ft and 40ft configurations to most of the 48 states. Emergency walk-in failures often delivered next business day from our nearest depot.

+ My brewery needs to hold steady at +38°F for fermentation control. Will a single-phase reefer work?

Yes. Single-phase reefers hold steady from +32°F to +55°F — ideal for fermentation, conditioning, and finished product storage. The single-phase 20ft medium-temp container is the standard brewery configuration. Many craft breweries use them as their dedicated cold room.

Single-phase 20ft medium-temp container

+ What's the difference between new, used, and refurbished?

New (One-Trip): Shipped once, near-perfect. Used: Multiple trips, functional, wind-and-watertight, may have cosmetic wear. Refurbished: Restored by our team — repainted, repaired, like-new. Best value for most buyers.
