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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
