      Isothermal ; Passive insulation

      What is an isothermal container?

      An isothermal container is a thermally insulated container that produces no cold. Its walls, roof, and floor are lined with polyurethane foam — an insulator that strongly slows heat exchange between the interior and the exterior. It carries no refrigeration unit.

      This is the essential difference from a Reefer container. The Reefer is active: its refrigeration unit produces cold and continuously corrects any temperature drift. The isothermal is passive: it merely delays the inevitable. Cargo loaded cold warms up slowly, cargo loaded warm cools down slowly; the isothermal extends the delay without ever bringing the goods back to a set point.

      This passive logic defines its applications. The isothermal container suits short hauls, buffer storage, and goods loaded already at the right temperature. Since it requires no electrical supply — no socket, no generator set — it offers a significantly simpler and more cost-effective solution than a Reefer, whenever active refrigeration is not strictly necessary.

      • Passive insulation

        The walls, roof, and floor are lined with polyurethane foam. This insulator strongly slows thermal exchange but produces no cold: it delays temperature drift without correcting it.
      • No power supply required

        No electrical connection is needed — no shore power, no generator set, no refrigeration unit to maintain. This simplicity eliminates all power logistics and makes it reliable on isolated sites.
      • Short-haul journeys

        An isothermal container maintains an acceptable temperature over limited durations and distances. Beyond that, the difference with the outside eventually prevails: cargo must then be loaded already at the correct temperature.
      • Cost-effective solution

        With no refrigeration unit to buy or maintain, the isothermal container costs far less than a Reefer. It is the rational alternative whenever active refrigeration is not strictly required.

      In detail

      What is a 10ft used insulated container?

      An insulated container is a fully insulated body: its walls slow heat exchange between the goods and the outside. It does not produce cold; it preserves it. "Used" means the unit has already been in service, then reconditioned: inspected and refurbished at the depot. The 10ft format is the most compact in the range.

      The body combines stainless steel and aluminum. The insulation, made of polyurethane foam, an insulating foam molded between two walls, is checked by a thermal test before being put back on sale. The aluminum-rail floor drains liquids and cleans easily. The rubber seals are inspected and the structure is refurbished.

      The 10ft format offers 14.5 m³ of usable volume for an 8,500 kg allowable load, over 6.3 m² of floor space. Its standard exterior height of 2.591 m makes it compatible with any road handling equipment, with no adaptation. Its acquisition cost remains lower than that of a new unit.

      In detail

      Insulated or Reefer: what is the difference?

      The insulated container and the Reefer belong to the same refrigerated family, but rely on two opposite principles. The Reefer, a refrigerated container, carries an active cooling unit: it produces its own cold and maintains a chosen temperature, from −25°C to +25°C. It must stay permanently plugged into a 380V three-phase electrical supply.

      The insulated container, on the other hand, produces no cold at all. It simply slows heat exchange through its insulation. It works without electricity and without a cooling unit to maintain. To extend autonomy, eutectic plates are added; cold accumulators frozen in advance in a cold room. On the 10ft format, passive autonomy reaches 12 to 24 hours. The insulated container is therefore suited to short trips, where active cooling is not necessary.

      Applications

      Uses for a 10ft used insulated container

      Reconditioned, this compact format targets uses where budget comes first, without giving up insulation performance.

      The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use links the on-the-ground need to the container's concrete benefit.

      • Urban catering rounds

        Keeping ready meals and fresh produce during rounds of under 6 hours, without eutectic plates.

      • Agricultural cooperatives

        Short-distance collection of fruit, vegetables and dairy products between farms and a regional platform.

      • Seasonal markets and fairs

        Buffer storage of sensitive goods near the point of sale, with 12 to 24 hours of autonomy thanks to eutectic plates.

      • Temporary logistics reinforcement

        Extra passive cold capacity during food production peaks. This reference is used to verify the container's suitability for transport, handling or regulated storage.

      Highlights

      Why buy a 10ft used insulated container

      The 10ft used insulated container offers a compact passive cold room at the lowest price in the segment. The strengths below show what the depot inspection guarantees on the one truly critical element, insulation, and why a body with no cooling unit lends itself particularly well to reuse.

      The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.

      • Affordable price

        Used represents a net saving compared with first-trip. Since insulation is systematically checked by thermal test, this saving comes with no compromise on performance.

      • Body inspected at the depot

        The polyurethane insulation is checked, the rubber seals inspected and the aluminum floor cleaned. The unit is refurbished, not simply resold as-is.

      • No electrical supply

        The container is usable immediately on any site, with no 380V connection. This autonomy removes any power logistics and any electricity cost.

      • Sustainable approach

        Reusing a reconditioned body avoids manufacturing a new unit. On an insulated container with no refrigeration circuit, the structure lends itself all the more to a second life cycle.

      • Minimal maintenance

        With no cooling unit, there is no compressor to inspect or refrigerant to recharge. Operating cost is limited to checking the seals and cleanliness.

      • Re-validated compliance

        ISO 6346 marking and the CSC plate are reissued after inspection; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible to retain maritime use.

      Applications

      What is the price of a 10ft used insulated container

      The used 10ft insulated segment belongs to a small secondary market. Availability depends on the arrival of converted Reefer bodies put back on the second-hand market.

      Four factors influence price variations:

      The factors below explain why the price can vary from one quote to another. They help read a quote by distinguishing the price of the product, availability and delivery costs.

      • Demand on short cold-chain circuits

        Urban delivery and events use compact formats and support used prices.

      • Cost of insulation materials

        The polyurethane foam of the original panels reflects past raw material cycles; the F-gas regulation, which governs fluorinated gases, also weighs on blowing agents.

      • Shipping logistics pressures

        Supply depends on the pace of arrivals of converted Reefer bodies available for resale.

      • Downstream costs

        Standard road transport and flatbed truck delivery, with no power supply or refrigeration fuel management.
