FAQ
What is the lifespan of a container?
With minimal maintenance, a Corten steel container has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. First-trip units offer the best longevity.
Can a container be customized?
Yes: RAL paint, additional doors, windows, insulation and electrification. Contact us for a custom quote.
Do you offer rental?
Yes, we offer short-term and long-term rental solutions. Contact our team for terms and conditions.
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer, credit card and other payment methods confirmed on the quote. PayPal and interest-free payment in 3 installments are not offered.

Definition
What is a Reefer container?
La famille Reefer regroupe les conteneurs frigorifiques équipés d’un groupe froid actif. Le groupe maintient une température cible lorsque l’unité est alimentée électriquement.
Read more
Le plancher T-rail — rail en T au sol — laisse l’air froid circuler sous la marchandise. Cette circulation limite les zones chaudes et aide le groupe à stabiliser la température.
Le choix dépend de la plage thermique, du volume utile, de l’état du groupe et de l’accès à l’électricité. Une marchandise alimentaire, pharmaceutique ou industrielle sensible exige un cadrage précis avant devis.

In detail
What is a used 40 ft Reefer High Cube shipping container?
A Reefer container is a refrigerated container: a built-in refrigeration unit produces and maintains a chosen temperature. On this large format, the range is extended, from −40 °C to +30 °C, versus −25 °C to +25 °C on shorter Reefers. "High Cube", or HC, refers to a format raised about 30 cm. "Used" means the unit has already been in service, then reconditioned at the depot.
Read more
The box is made of fully welded Corten steel, a steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, with a stainless steel interior finish. The refrigeration unit, compatible with a refrigeration unit manufacturer, a refrigeration equipment manufacturer or a refrigeration equipment manufacturer, is tested at the depot; insulation is checked and the aluminum T-rail floor cleaned.
12.19 m long and 2.89 m tall, this format offers 67.9 m³ usable for a 29,300 kg allowed load. The combination of large volume and an extended thermal range makes it suited to trans-continental exports and high-density storage. A few surface marks of use affect neither regulation nor compliance.

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.

Dimensions in millimetres · perspective viewLe 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.
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.
Read more
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 40 ft HC covers large-scale refrigerated operations, where budget matters as much as usable volume.
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 40 ft Reefer High Cube shipping container
The used 40 ft Reefer High Cube gives access to the largest refrigerated volume and the extended −40 °C/+30 °C thermal range, at a controlled cost. The strengths below show how reconditioning secures the large-format refrigeration unit 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.
-
Best volume/price ratio
Best volume/price ratio
67.9 m³ usable, the largest refrigerated volume in the segment, on a significantly reduced budget compared to new. Ideal for large-volume exports.
-
Extended thermal range preserved
Extended thermal range preserved
The −40 °C to +30 °C range is maintained after a full refrigeration unit overhaul. Deep-freeze capacity is not degraded by reconditioning.
-
Performance tested at the depot
Performance tested at the depot
A controlled cooling test and a watertightness test by water spraying are carried out before every delivery. Actual thermal performance is checked, not assumed.
-
Managed maintenance
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
Fast repairs
Refrigeration technicians step in in case of an anomaly on the large-format refrigeration circuit. On a Reefer, an unaddressed failure directly compromises the goods.
-
Re-validated compliance
Re-validated compliance
The ATP/CAT-S and CSC plates are reissued and Cargo Worthy status is granted after inspection by an accredited body. The unit remains fit for maritime and regulated transport.
In detail
Options available on request
The following options can be added to Used and First-trip versions depending on availability and specifications: PVC strip curtain, LED light pack, person-trapped-inside alarm, 1/3 - 2/3 door with easy-open handle, anti-panic interior opening mechanism, automatic humidity control, flat floor.
Applications
What is the price of a used 40 ft Reefer High Cube shipping container
The used 40 ft Reefer HC follows a limited secondary market, less liquid than that of the 20 ft and more sensitive to trans-continental export cycles.
Four factors drive price variations:
The factors below explain why the price can vary from one quote to another. They help you read a quote by distinguishing the product price, availability, and delivery costs.
Compare for a specific reason
Which requirement drives your choice?
Insulation or active cooling
An insulated container provides a thermal envelope. It does not replace a refrigeration unit when temperature must be actively maintained.
