      Reefer Pallet Wide

      What is a Reefer Pallet Wide?

      The Reefer Pallet Wide is a refrigerated container whose internal width has been extended to 2.44 m, versus approximately 2.29 m on a standard Reefer. This gain of a few centimetres is significant: it is calculated for a specific reason — the optimum accommodation of the Euro pallet.

      The Euro pallet measures 1.20 m × 0.80 m. In a standard Reefer, two pallets placed side by side across the width do not fit without a gap, which forces them to be arranged with wasted space. The 2.44 m of the Pallet Wide allows two Euro pallets to stand side by side perfectly flush. The container fills with no gap between rows.

      The benefit is directly logistical: at the same length, the Pallet Wide carries more pallets than a standard Reefer. On regular palletised refrigerated flows, this optimised fill ratio reduces the number of containers needed and lowers the cost of transport per refrigerated cubic metre.

      • Extended width

        2.44 m of internal width, versus approximately 2.29 m on a standard Reefer. This gain allows two Euro pallets to pass side by side, perfectly flush, with no wasted gap between rows.
      • Active refrigeration

        The integrated refrigeration unit regulates temperature continuously across the full temperature-controlled transport range. The optimised fill ratio does not compromise cold chain performance.
      • Optimised fill ratio

        At the same length, the Pallet Wide carries more pallets than a standard Reefer. The wasted space between rows disappears, maximising the usable volume actually loaded.
      • Lower cost per m³

        More pallets per container means fewer containers for the same flow. On regular refrigerated routes, the cost per refrigerated cubic metre drops significantly.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      • High-volume pan-European food exports

        Fresh, frozen produce and ready meals to the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Central Europe.

      • Cold-chain pharmaceuticals for export

        Multi-layer pallets of vaccines and active ingredients, for intercontinental exports.

      • Premium cosmetics under controlled temperature

        Heat-sensitive products, in vertical packaging. The point is to make the use safe without oversizing the format or complicating installation.

      • Refrigerated beverage distribution

        Europe pallets of beer, juice and dairy products, in high-frequency flows.

      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:

      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.

      • Stacked food products

        Meat, fruit and vegetables in cartons on two levels, temperatures from 0°C to +8°C.

      • Multi-layer pharmaceuticals

        Stacked insulated crates, ranges of 2°C to 8°C for vaccines, down to −20°C for active ingredients.

      • Cosmetics on tall racks

        Jars and drums on vertical racks, stability from +5°C to +20°C.

      • High-volume frozen goods

        Down to −25°C, 89 m³ of capacity for long-haul exports. This marker makes it possible to confirm compatibility with the site, the goods and the planned handling equipment.

      Highlights

      Why buy a 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide first-trip container

      The new 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide combines three optimizations in a single container: active refrigeration, HC height and Pallet Wide width. The strengths below explain what each one brings and why their combination makes it the benchmark for high-volume pan-European refrigerated exports.

      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.

      • Maximum volume 89 m³, 27 Europe pallets

        The combination of HC, Pallet Wide and 45ft brings capacity to 27 floor pallets; versus 24 on a 40ft HC Pallet Wide. It is the largest palletized refrigerated volume on the market.

      • Active cooling unit

        The refrigeration equipment manufacturer, cooling unit builder or cooling unit manufacturer unit continuously regulates the −25°C to +25°C range. It maintains the setpoint across the entire large body, with no hot spot.

      • Width 2.44 m and HC height 2.575 m

        The Pallet Wide width fits two Europe pallets side by side with no play, the HC height allows stacking on two levels. Both dimensions maximize filling.

      • Maintenance by certified refrigeration technicians

        An annual preventive service of the refrigerant gas and components can be subscribed. It preserves the cooling unit's performance over time.

      • Express repair service

        A rapid intervention preserves the cold chain in case of an incident. On a long-haul export, this responsiveness protects a high-value shipment.

      • ISO 6346, CSC and ATP/CAT-S compliance

        All certifications for multimodal refrigerated transport are combined. The unit circulates without restriction on international cold chains.

      Applications

      What is the price of a 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide first-trip container

      The new 45ft Reefer HC Pallet Wide belongs to an ultra-niche segment: it combines three specifications in a 45ft format.

      Four factors influence the price observed:

      The factors below explain why the price can vary from one quote to another. They help read a quote by distinguishing the price of the product, availability and delivery costs.

      • Demand for high-volume pan-European refrigerated exports

        The concentration of flows to the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Central Europe puts pressure on supply.

      • Cost of cooling units and refrigerant gas

        R134a and R452A fall under the F-gas regulation, the European regulation on fluorinated gases, which governs their use.

      • Shipping logistics pressures

        The supply of 45' HC Pallet Wide Reefer units remains very limited. This factor helps understand the possible gap between an indicative price and the actual quote.

      • Downstream costs

        45' road transport with clearance verification, electrical connection required on site.
