In detail
What is a 40ft 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. It is the maximum 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. Insulation is provided by polyurethane foam panels, an insulating foam molded between two walls, reinforced across all the walls. The aluminum T-bar floor offers a flat, draining surface.
The 40ft HC format frees up 65.6 m³ of usable volume for a 29,350 kg allowable load, over 26.5 m² of floor space. Its interior height of 2.557 m, 30 cm more than a standard 40ft insulated container, allows two-level palletizing. It is the benchmark for large-scale food and pharmaceutical export logistics with no power constraint.
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 reinforced insulation and the considerable mass of its 40ft 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 48 to 72 hours, which covers regional export flows with no power management.
Applications
Uses for a 40ft first-trip HC insulated container
The new 40ft HC is dedicated to large-scale passive export logistics and multi-customer flows with 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 40ft first-trip HC insulated container
The new 40ft HC insulated container is the maximum-capacity format in the insulated range: 40ft length, High Cube height and passive insulation combined. The strengths below explain what this combination brings to loading and what the absence of a cooling unit 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.
-
Maximum insulated volume
65.6 m³ usable, 2.557 m of interior height, up to 22-23 floor pallets stacked on two levels.
-
Additional height
30 cm more than a standard 40ft insulated container, for tiered palletizing and multi-layer vertical packaging.
-
No power supply required
Deployment on any site, with no 380V connection, generator or truck plug.
-
Near-zero maintenance
No cooling unit to maintain, no refrigerant gas, no moving parts. This reference is used to verify the container's suitability for transport, handling or regulated storage.
-
Compatible with large-format eutectic plates
Passive cold autonomy up to 48-72 hours depending on accumulator density. This reference is used to verify the container's suitability for transport, handling or regulated storage.
-
Original compliance
ISO 6346 marking and CSC plate, standard High Cube gauge for multimodal transport; check clearances on certain low-clearance routes.
