In detail
What is a 20ft first-trip HC 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. "HC," for High Cube, refers to a format raised by about 30 cm compared with the standard format. "First-trip" means it is a new unit, out of the factory after a single trip.
The body, made of Corten steel and stainless steel, is fully welded. Corten steel is a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion. Insulation is provided by polyurethane foam panels; an insulating foam molded between two walls. The aluminum T-bar floor offers a flat, draining surface.
The 20ft HC format frees up 32 m³ of usable volume for a 27,580 kg allowable load, about 5 m³ more than a standard 20ft insulated container. Its interior height of 2.54 m allows two-level palletizing and the storage of vertical packaging.
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 and the mass of its body. 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 20ft HC, passive autonomy reaches 24 to 48 hours, the typical duration of regional flows and event catering.
Applications
Uses for a 20ft first-trip HC insulated container
The 20ft HC format is aimed at flows where interior height optimizes vertical packaging.
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.
Highlights
Why buy a 20ft first-trip HC insulated container
The new 20ft HC insulated container combines the increased High Cube height with passive insulation and no cooling unit. The strengths below explain what the extra 30 cm bring to loading and what the absence of a refrigeration circuit changes in autonomy and cost.
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.
-
Optimized volume
32 m³ usable, 5 m³ more than a standard 20ft insulated container, for 2.54 m of interior height.
-
No power supply required
Immediate use on any site, with no 380V connection, generator or truck plug.
-
Near-zero maintenance
No cooling unit to maintain, no refrigerant to recharge. This reference is used to verify the container's suitability for transport, handling or regulated storage.
-
Compatible with eutectic plates
Passive cold autonomy of 24 to 48 hours depending on accumulator density.
-
Original compliance
ISO 6346 marking and CSC plate, standard High Cube gauge for multimodal transport.
-
Lower operating cost
Compared with a Reefer HC, for uses where active cooling is not required.
Applications
What is the price of a 20ft first-trip HC insulated container
The new 20ft HC insulated container occupies a niche segment. The combination of extra height, polyurethane insulation and the absence of a cooling unit makes it a rare format on the passive refrigerated market.
