Definition
What is a Pallet Wide container?
La famille Pallet Wide regroupe les conteneurs conçus pour mieux exploiter la largeur intérieure avec des palettes Europe. Elle répond aux flux où chaque emplacement palette compte.

Le format conserve une logique de conteneur maritime, avec une structure robuste et des portes arrière. Sa valeur vient surtout de l’optimisation du plancher disponible pour les marchandises palettisées.
Le choix dépend du type de palettes, du volume à charger et de la fréquence des rotations. Il faut vérifier la compatibilité avec le site, les moyens de manutention et la disponibilité du format.

In detail
What is a 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide first-trip container?
This container combines three specifications from the shipping segment. "Reefer" refers to a refrigerated container with an active cooling unit that produces and regulates cold. "HC" stands for High Cube: extra height compared with the standard 8'6" format. "Pallet Wide" refers to a widened interior, optimized for the Europe pallet. The term "first-trip" means it is a new unit, out of the factory after a single positioning journey.

The new structure combines a fully welded Corten steel and stainless steel body, polyurethane insulation, an insulating foam, 7 cm thick, and a flat aluminum floor suited to pallet stacking. The cooling unit (refrigeration equipment manufacturer, cooling unit builder, or cooling unit manufacturer) regulates a range of −25°C to +25°C, powered by 400 Volts 50 Hz - Three-phase 3P + N - 4-pole male plug - 32A - cable approx. 10 m – 50/60 Hz.
In the ultra-long 45ft HC Pallet Wide format, the unit offers 89 m³ of usable volume for a 27,890 kg payload and holds 27 Europe pallets on the floor. It is the benchmark for high-volume pan-European food and pharmaceutical exports; to post-Brexit United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Central Europe.

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.
In detail
The difference between a standard Reefer and a 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide
A standard 8'6" Reefer maintains a temperature regulated by its cooling unit. But its interior width limits palletizing to 9 or 10 Europe pallets per 20ft, and its interior height remains modest. The 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide removes both limits while keeping active thermal regulation.
Read more
The width widened to 2.44 m allows 27 Europe pallets to be loaded directly. The HC height allows light stacking; stacking pallets on two levels. The ultra-long 45ft format maximizes capacity per container. This combination is aimed at pan-European refrigerated exports with very high palletized density: fresh produce, sensitive pharmaceuticals, premium cosmetics, on long routes where every pallet counts.
Applications
Uses for a 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide first-trip container
27 Europe pallets on the floor, versus 24 on a 40ft HC Pallet Wide and 11 on a 20ft Pallet Wide: the 45ft HC Pallet Wide is the shipping standard for high-volume pan-European refrigerated transport. Four uses make the most of it:
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.
Applications
Keeping your products at the right temperature with a new Reefer HC Pallet Wide
The cooling unit continuously maintains a range of −25°C to +25°C across the entire body. The 7 cm polyurethane insulation and flat aluminum floor ensure even diffusion. Four categories of goods are well suited to it:
