In detail
What is a 40ft 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 40ft format is the large-volume option in the insulated range.
The body combines stainless steel and aluminum. 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-rail floor drains liquids and offers a flat surface after cleaning.
The used 40ft format offers 61.3 m³ of usable volume for a 26,680 kg allowable load, over 27.1 m² of floor space. Its standard exterior height of 2.591 m makes it compatible with the European road fleet and maritime terminals, with no modification. Its cost remains lower than that of 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 40ft format, passive autonomy reaches 48 to 72 hours, which covers multi-customer food flows with no power constraint.
Applications
Uses for a 40ft used insulated container
Reconditioned, this large format targets high-volume logistics 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 40ft used insulated container
The used 40ft insulated container offers the largest passive insulated volume in the segment, at the lowest price. The strengths below show what the depot inspection guarantees on insulation and why a body with no cooling unit lends itself particularly well to large-format 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 on the 40ft format, with insulation checked by thermal test.
-
Body inspected at the depot
Welded structure checked, polyurethane insulation tested, aluminum floor cleaned and drainage checked.
-
No power supply required
Immediate use on any site, multi-site deployment with no 380V constraint. 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.
