In detail
What is a used 40 ft Reefer Open Side container?
A Reefer container is a refrigerated container: an integrated cooling unit generates and maintains a chosen temperature, from −25°C to +25°C. The term "Open Side" designates a main side opening: an entire side of the container opens, via double doors or panels. The Reefer Open Side combines both; a configuration specific to the National Conteneur catalog.
This side opening enables refrigerated cross-docking: pallet-by-pallet loading, directly from a logistics dock, without any maneuver via the rear. The general market usually separates Reefer and Open Side into two distinct ranges; their combination remains rare.
The casing is made of Corten steel, a weathering steel that resists marine corrosion, with a food-grade stainless steel finish. The opening side wall incorporates reinforced polyurethane insulation and specific seals, to limit thermal losses while it's open.
For a Used version, National Conteneur uses this technical base as a reference, then qualifies each unit according to its actual condition: structure, weatherproofing, doors, floor, markings, documents and equipment specific to the product family. The technical information therefore remains that of the model, while cosmetic condition, availability and certificates depend on the batch offered.
In detail
Understanding the Reefer and Open Side combo
Most manufacturers offer the Reefer, active thermal regulation, and the Open Side, side opening, as two separate ranges. National Conteneur combines them on this 40 ft, a hybrid product with very limited production.
During side loading, the cooling unit continues to actively regulate the −25/+25°C range. The opening wall incorporates polyurethane insulation and reinforced seals to limit cold loss. The combo is designed for short cycles, a dock-to-truck transfer of a few minutes, not for prolonged storage with the door open.
The typical use case is aligning a refrigerated truck at a warehouse dock, with pallets transferred one by one. The productivity gain compared to a standard Reefer, loaded only from the rear, offsets the technical extra cost on high-turnover flows.
Applications
Refrigerated cross-docking with a 40 ft Reefer Open Side
This configuration is for flows where active thermal regulation must coexist with immediate side access from the dock.
The points below give the essential benchmarks for interpreting this section. Each item specifies the practical benefit and the usage condition to keep in mind.
Highlights
Why buy a used 40 ft Reefer Open Side container
The Reefer Open Side resolves a conflict specific to cold-chain logistics: speeding up loading without breaking the cold chain. The strengths below explain how this hybrid configuration, rare on the market, reconciles fast side opening with active thermal regulation.
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.
-
Configuration in the National Conteneur catalog
This Reefer and Open Side combo does not exist as a market standard; manufacturers usually keep the two ranges separate. It's a hybrid product with very limited production.
-
Active cooling unit
The unit, from a refrigeration equipment supplier, cooling unit manufacturer or manufacturer-fitted cooling unit, continuously regulates the −25/+25°C range, under 7 cm of polyurethane insulation. The cold is maintained even during side loading.
-
Main side opening
The entire side opens, allowing direct cross-docking from the logistics dock. Each pallet is loaded without maneuvering via the rear, which reduces exposure time to the cold.
-
Reinforced insulated side wall
The large opening wall incorporates specific seals that preserve the polyurethane insulation when opened. This is the sensitive technical point of a Reefer Open Side, addressed right from the factory.
-
Managed maintenance
An annual preventive maintenance contract, refrigerant gas, components, parts, can be taken out at the time of order. It preserves the cooling unit's performance over time.
-
Rapid repair
Refrigeration technicians respond in case of breakdown to preserve the cold chain. On a Reefer, an untreated interruption directly compromises the cargo.
-
Regulatory compliance
ATP/CAT-S, ISO 6346 and CSC are all combined for multimodal refrigerated transport. The unit moves through all cold chains.

What is the price of a used 40 ft Reefer Open Side container
The Reefer and Open Side combo is a very small production product. Only two or three specialized manufacturers worldwide know how to combine active thermal regulation with an insulated side-opening structure.
