In detail
What is a used 20 ft Reefer High Cube shipping container?
A Reefer container is a refrigerated container: a built-in refrigeration unit produces and maintains a chosen temperature, adjustable from −25 °C to +25 °C. "High Cube", or HC, refers to a format raised about 30 cm above the standard; 2.89 m external height, 2.69 m internal. "Used" means the unit has already been in service, then reconditioned at the depot.
The box is made of fully welded Corten steel, a steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, with a stainless steel interior finish. The refrigeration unit, compatible with a refrigeration unit manufacturer or a refrigeration equipment manufacturer, is tested at the depot; insulation is checked and the aluminum T-rail floor cleaned.
Usable capacity remains 32.2 m³ for a 27,470 kg allowed load; identical to the new model. On the pivotal 20 ft format, the extra 30 cm of height transform palletization: pharmaceutical pallets on two levels, vertical packaging, equipment on tall stands. A few surface marks of use affect neither regulation nor compliance.
In detail
How do you power a Reefer container?
Unlike an insulated container, which only slows heat exchange, a Reefer actively produces cold. It therefore needs a constant power supply.
The refrigeration unit plugs into a 380-460 V three-phase supply, via a 32 A industrial socket. At a quay or in a warehouse, connection is made to the mains. In transit or on an isolated site, a generator, the "genset", takes over. Planning for this power supply is essential: without electricity, the cold chain is broken.
Applications
Keeping your goods at the right temperature
Reconditioned, this HC unit delivers the performance of a maritime standard, for vertical volume without the cost of a first-trip unit.
The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use links the on-site need to the container's concrete benefit.
Highlights
Why buy a used 20 ft Reefer High Cube shipping container
The 20 ft is the pivotal format in refrigerated logistics, and the High Cube version adds vertical volume. A used unit offers all of it at a controlled cost. The strengths below show how reconditioning secures the refrigeration unit and why a well-tested unit delivers the reliability of new.
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.
-
HC volume at the right price
32.2 m³ usable, the refrigerated volume of a High Cube, at a rate lower than a first-trip unit. The gap is significant on a product where the refrigeration unit weighs heavily.
-
Tested thermal performance
The reconditioned refrigeration unit manufacturer's or refrigeration equipment manufacturer's unit undergoes a controlled cooling test before delivery. The set temperature is checked, not just assumed.
-
Managed maintenance
An annual preventive maintenance contract can be taken out to preserve the unit's lifespan. This follow-up is what secures a used refrigeration unit over time.
-
Fast repairs
Refrigeration technicians step in in case of an incident to guarantee thermal continuity. On a Reefer, an unaddressed failure directly compromises the goods.
-
Re-validated compliance
The ATP/CAT-S and CSC plates are reissued and Cargo Worthy status is granted after inspection by an accredited body. The unit remains fit for maritime and regulated transport.
-
Sustainable approach
Extending the life of an existing Reefer HC saves several tons of steel and a new refrigeration unit; material- and component-intensive equipment.
In detail
Options available on request
The following options can be added to Used and First-trip versions depending on availability and specifications: PVC strip curtain, LED light pack, person-trapped-inside alarm, 1/3 - 2/3 door with easy-open handle, anti-panic interior opening mechanism, automatic humidity control, flat floor.
Applications
What is the price of a used 20 ft Reefer High Cube shipping container
The used 20 ft Reefer HC follows a dynamic secondary market, fed by shipping operators' fleet retirement cycles and driven by European demand for large vertical volumes.
