In detail
What is a 40ft used 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. "Used" means the unit has already been in service, then reconditioned at the depot. It is the largest format in the insulated range.
The body, made of Corten 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 at the depot before delivery. The aluminum T-bar floor guarantees flatness and drainage after cleaning.
The used 40ft HC format offers 65.6 m³ of usable volume for a 29,350 kg allowable load, with an interior height of 2.557 m. The combination of a long, tall, insulated large format sets it apart from other units on the secondary market.
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, or even −40°C on certain 40ft HC models. 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 40ft HC, passive autonomy reaches 36 to 60 hours with large-format plates.
Applications

Highlights
Why buy a 40ft used HC insulated container
The used 40ft HC insulated container offers the largest passive insulated volume in the range, combining 40ft length and High Cube height, at controlled cost. The strengths below show what the depot inspection guarantees on insulation and what the extra 30 cm of height bring.
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 a new 40ft HC unit, with insulation checked by thermal test.
-
Maximum volume
65.6 m³ usable, up to 22-23 floor pallets stacked on two levels, 2.557 m interior height.
-
Additional height
30 cm more than a standard 40ft insulated container, for multi-layer packaging and tiered palletizing.
-
Body inspected at the depot
Corten structure checked, polyurethane insulation tested, aluminum floor cleaned. This reference is used to verify the container's suitability for transport, handling or regulated storage.
-
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.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and CSC plate reissued; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for maritime use.
Applications
What is the price of a 40ft used HC insulated container
The used 40ft HC insulated container follows a restricted secondary market, less liquid than the standard 40ft and more sensitive to the conversion cycles of Reefer HC units put back on the market.
