In detail
What is a used 40 ft Reefer Super Freezer container?
A Reefer container is a refrigerated container: an integrated cooling unit generates and maintains a chosen temperature. The Super Freezer is an ultra-specialized version: a 9'6" High Cube casing, raised by about 30 cm, fitted with an Ingersoll Rand-manufactured cooling unit designed for very low temperatures, down to −70°C.
This configuration was deployed massively during the COVID-19 pandemic, to transport and store mRNA vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which require strict storage around −70°C. Outside of vaccination campaigns, the Super Freezer remains a niche piece of equipment.
The casing is made of Corten steel, a weathering steel that resists marine corrosion, with an HACCP food-grade stainless steel finish. Its polyurethane foam insulation is reinforced to limit heat loss at extreme temperatures. It serves research biobanks, sensitive pharmaceutical active ingredients and high-end ultra-fresh products.
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 ultra-low-temperature cold chain
Most maritime refrigerated containers operate between −25°C and +25°C. This range is enough for industrial frozen foods, fresh agri-food products and routine pharmaceuticals. The Super Freezer goes much lower, down to −70°C; a technological leap reserved for the molecules most sensitive to heat.
mRNA technology is the emblematic example. Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines require −70°C, within 10°C, to preserve the integrity of the molecule: beyond −60°C, the RNA degrades quickly. Moderna vaccines tolerate a range of −50°C to −20°C depending on the distribution protocol. Their massive rollout between 2020 and 2022 drove demand for maritime Super Freezers, a segment in which cooling unit manufacturer Ingersoll Rand is the global reference.
Outside of vaccines, applications remain limited: scientific research biobanks, biotechnological active ingredients, proteins, peptides, heat-sensitive hormones, or even high-end sashimi kept at −60°C for optimal gastronomic quality.
Applications
Preserving at −70°C with a 40 ft HC Super Freezer
The 40 ft HC Super Freezer is sized for the most demanding extreme cold-chain transport and storage.
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 Super Freezer container
The Super Freezer crosses a barrier that no standard Reefer can: going down to −70°C, where ordinary units stop at −25°C. The strengths below explain the technical choices that make this extreme range possible and reliable; specialized cooling unit, reinforced insulation, air circulation.
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.
-
Ultra-low range down to −70°C
This is the only configuration capable of transporting and storing mRNA vaccines, which degrade beyond −60°C. No standard Reefer reaches this level of cold.
-
Ingersoll Rand-manufactured cooling unit
This is the global reference for maritime Super Freezers, proven at scale during pandemic vaccine rollouts. A technology validated by the most demanding use.
-
Reinforced polyurethane insulation
At extreme temperatures, the difference with the outside exceeds 90°C. Reinforced insulation minimizes heat loss, which maintains −70°C with controlled energy consumption.
-
T-bar rail floor
The rails provide an air passage under the cargo. At −70°C, this uniform circulation avoids any hot spot that would compromise a sensitive cryogenic batch.
-
Managed maintenance
A dedicated maintenance contract, specialized refrigerant gases, very low temperature components, can be taken out at purchase. This cutting-edge equipment requires specific monitoring.
-
Fast, critical repair
On irreplaceable cryogenic products, immediate intervention is vital. Rapid repair limits any thermal drift before it destroys the cargo.
-
Regulatory compliance
Special very-low-temperature ATP/CAT-S and pharmaceutical GDP are combined, with the complete traceability required for temperature-sensitive medicines.

What is the price of a used 40 ft Reefer Super Freezer container
The 40 ft HC Super Freezer is a very small production product. Its price reflects the extreme specialization of the Ingersoll Rand-manufactured cooling unit, the reinforced polyurethane insulation and the rarity of the segment.
