In detail
What is a 20ft 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 20ft format is the pivotal format of refrigerated logistics.
The body, made of Corten steel and stainless steel, is fully welded. Corten steel is a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion. The insulation, made of polyurethane foam, an insulating foam molded between two walls, is checked by a thermal test before being put back into service. The aluminum T-bar floor offers a flat, draining surface for rolling loads.
The used 20ft format offers 27.30 m³ of usable volume for a 27,580 kg allowable load. Its standard exterior height of 2.591 m makes it compatible with the entire European road fleet. It is the benchmark format for food logistics and catering, at a lower cost than 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 20ft format, passive autonomy reaches 24 to 48 hours. The insulated container is therefore suited to flows where active cooling adds no value.
Applications
Uses for a 20ft used insulated container
Reconditioned, this pivotal format targets food logistics and catering at controlled cost.
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 used insulated container
The 20ft used insulated container offers a standard-format 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
Net saving compared with new, with no compromise on insulation performance; systematic thermal test.
-
Body inspected at the depot
Corten and stainless steel structure checked, polyurethane insulation tested, aluminum floor cleaned and drainage confirmed.
-
No power supply required
Usable immediately, with no 380V connection or truck plug. This reference is used to verify the container's suitability for transport, handling or regulated storage.
-
Sustainable approach
Reusing an existing body avoids manufacturing a new unit and its carbon footprint.
-
Minimal 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.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and CSC plate reissued; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for maritime use.
