Definition
What is a insulated container?
La famille isotherme regroupe les conteneurs isolés sans groupe froid actif. Elle sert à conserver une température plus stable sans produire de froid.
Read more
L’isolation en polyuréthane, un isolant rigide à faible conductivité thermique, ralentit les échanges avec l’extérieur. Le conteneur protège donc contre les variations rapides, mais ne remplace pas un Reefer quand une température précise doit être maintenue.
Le choix dépend de la durée, de la température de départ des marchandises et de l’exposition du site. L’Isotherme convient aux usages tempérés, au hors gel et aux transports courts.

Le conteneur ne produit pas de froid. Il convient donc aux durées courtes ou aux usages où une dérive contrôlée reste acceptable.
In detail
What is a 40ft first-trip 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. "First-trip" means it is a new unit, out of the factory after a single positioning journey. The 40ft format is the benchmark for large-capacity transport under controlled temperature.
Read more
The body combines stainless steel and aluminum. Insulation is provided by polyurethane foam panels, an insulating foam molded between two walls, applied over the entire body. The aluminum-rail floor drains liquids and offers a flat, smooth surface.
The 40ft format delivers 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 all European terminals and semi-trailers.

Use the internal dimensions to plan the load or equipment layout. Allow the clearances needed for movement, handling and maintenance for your intended use.
Mass and load distribution
Check total mass, point loads, load distribution and handling equipment compatibility. Available volume does not determine permissible load: reference masses are listed in the technical specifications.

These dimensions describe the container envelope. Door movements, connections and servicing may require additional space around the unit.
The unloading area depends on the vehicle and lifting method. It must be assessed separately from the container’s final position.

Read the dimensions guideLe choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.

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 first-trip insulated container
The large 40ft format is dedicated to high-volume logistics flows, with no power supply.
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 insulated container
The new 40ft insulated container is the large-volume passive cold room: it insulates up to 25-26 Europe pallets with no power supply at all. The strengths below explain what this capacity and the absence of a cooling unit concretely change for high-volume logistics.

What is the price of a 40ft first-trip insulated container
The new 40ft insulated container is a specialized shipping trade product. Its price depends on the insulation market and the conversion cycles of Reefer bodies straight from the factory.
Four factors influence price variations:
The factors below explain why the price can vary from one quote to another. They help read a quote by distinguishing the price of the product, availability and delivery costs.
