20ft Refrigerated Container

Product Description of 20ft Refrigerated Container

Our 20ft Refrigerated Container is purpose-built to maintain the optimal temperature for your cargo during transport, making it a reliable choice for both food and non-food products that require strict temperature control. With external dimensions of 20ft x 8ft x 8ft 6in, it provides generous storage capacity while remaining practical to move and handle.

Equipped with a computerised control system, the container automatically maintains the required climate. The interior is equipped with a stainless steel lining, T-bar flooring, an air circulation fan, and a baffle plate, all working together to maintain uniform cooling and balanced airflow across the container.

Choose from three trusted refrigeration unit options, Daikin, Carrier, or Thermo King. Daikin and Carrier models reach temperatures as low as -30°C, while Thermo King offers additional cooling power down to -40°C, providing flexibility for a wide range of cargo needs.

Every new 20ft Refrigerated Container is supplied with a valid CSC (Container Safety Convention) plate and complies with ISO standards, making it suitable for international shipping without issue.

For added convenience, we also provide custom accessories, such as alarm lights for emergencies, PVC strip curtains to reduce temperature loss during loading, and flat floor designs to make trolley access simple.

FAQ

How does the refrigeration system work?

A reefer requires a constant power supply from shore power, a genset, or vessel connection to maintain cargo temperature. The insulated structure and built-in airflow systems (like T-bar flooring and air ducts) maintain consistent temperatures.

Can reefers reach extremely low temperatures?

Yes, most units can operate down to -30 °C (Daikin/Carrier) or -40 °C (Thermo King). Some unit types, such as super freezers, can reach temperatures as low as -70 °C, while blast-freezer variants are designed to accelerate the cooling process.

What is the difference between a 20ft and a 40ft reefer?

The main difference is capacity. A 40ft reefer has more internal space than a 20ft, but both maintain similar temperature control and airflow systems.

What is the lifespan of a 20ft reefer container?

With proper maintenance, a reefer can last for years in shipping service. For static storage use, it can often last longer.
