A rent 40ft refrigerated container — also called a 40-foot refrigerated container rental or reefer rental — delivers temperature-controlled cold storage on monthly terms for catering, produce, pharmaceuticals, floral, and event food service without buying a reefer outright.

Commercial refrigeration maintains cold-chain temperatures for perishables on a standard three-phase connection. Add units for harvest season or catering peaks, then release them when volume drops — no capital expense or resale.

Ideal for food distributors, farmers markets, catering companies, floral wholesalers, and pharmaceutical staging where temporary refrigerated capacity must arrive fast and leave cleanly.

Rent your 40ft refrigerated container rental online now from $899/month — delivered in 3-7 days across the US with flexible monthly terms and no long-term commitment. Pricing, specs, and FAQs are in the product tabs.

Delivery options

Rental containers are delivered using a tilt-bed truck only.
This method allows easy offloading without the need for any on-site equipment.
Requirements: 125 ft of straight clearance, 12 ft width, and 16 ft vertical clearance.

Site preparation
Before scheduling delivery, please ensure:

Clear, unobstructed access for the tilt-bed truck.
No overhead obstacles such as trees, power lines, or signage.
Dry, solid ground conditions. (Notify us if the site is wet or muddy.)

Containers are placed directly on flat surfaces — no foundation required.
