In detail
What is a used 20 ft Reefer 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. "Used" means the unit has already spent several years in maritime service, then been reconditioned; inspected and refurbished at our French depots. The 20 ft format is the standard for refrigerated logistics.
The box is made of fully welded Corten steel, a steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, with a stainless steel interior finish. Before shipping, the refrigeration unit is tested (refrigeration unit manufacturer or refrigeration equipment manufacturer depending on the unit), watertightness checked and the aluminum T-rail floor cleaned.
Usable capacity remains 28.4 m³ for a 27,230 kg allowed load; identical to the new model. A few marks of use remain on the surface, worn paint, lashing marks, localized oxidation, with no effect on thermal regulation or 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 20 ft unit delivers regulation that meets professional requirements, for a standard refrigerated volume at a controlled cost.
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 shipping container
The 20 ft Reefer is the standard of global refrigerated logistics; and a used unit offers its certified volume at a controlled cost. The strengths below show how reconditioning secures the refrigeration unit, the element that determines a Reefer's value, 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.
-
Refrigerated volume at the right price
28.4 m³ certified, the segment standard, without the premium of a new model. The budget gap is significant on a product where the refrigeration unit weighs heavily.
-
Reconditioned refrigeration unit
The refrigeration unit manufacturer's or refrigeration equipment manufacturer's unit is tested and overhauled at the depot, and the refrigerant gas checked before delivery. Thermal performance 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 the long term.
-
Fast repairs
Refrigeration technicians step in in case of an incident to limit any break in the cold chain. On a Reefer, an unaddressed failure directly compromises the goods.
-
Re-validated compliance
The CSC and ATP 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 saves several tons of steel and a new refrigeration unit; material- and component-intensive equipment.
