Used 20-Foot Domestic Reefer Container – Cost-Effective, Durable, and Secure
A used 20 ft reefer container provides a budget-friendly alternative without compromising on performance. Its high insulation and temperature control features make it suitable for temporary or short-term cold storage, construction site logistics, or shipping sensitive goods.

Reefer containers are constructed from a combination of materials: an outer shell of corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum, an inner lining of stainless steel or food-grade aluminum, and high-performance insulation layers in between. This multi-material design guarantees durability, thermal efficiency, weather protection, and security. Fully ISO certified, it meets all international standards for safe shipping. With a compact yet spacious design, it provides sufficient room for pallets, crates, or specialized refrigerated cargo, while remaining easy to handle and position.

What does “used container” mean?
A “used” shipping container has typically been in service for several years in international transport. It shows signs of wear such as scratches, dents, or surface rust, but remains wind- and watertight, secure, and fully functional. Used containers are inspected and certified to ensure safe handling and cost-effective use.

Ideal for temporary dry storage, construction site operations, or integration into a supply chain, a used 40-foot container provides a practical and proven solution. Suitable for anyone looking for used shipping containers for sale, storage containers for sale, or portable storage units.

For any products under 40ft long:

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered with or without a crane.

With Crane

Your container will be delivered on a truck-mounted crane, allowing the driver to lift and position the container without additional offloading equipment.

To facilitate a truck-mounted crane delivery, you will need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

Without Crane (Standard Chassis)

If you select delivery without a crane, your container will be delivered on a flat chassis with no built-in offloading equipment. You will therefore be responsible for offloading the container yourself using the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate a delivery without a crane, you will also need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered by side-loader or standard chassis.

With a Side-Loader

Your container will be delivered on a specialized truck called a side-loader (sometimes also known as a side-lifter). This vehicle has hydraulic arms that lift the container off the trailer and set it down beside the truck.

To facilitate a side-loader delivery, you will need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

Standard Chassis

If you select delivery by standard chassis, you will be responsible for lifting and placing your shipping container on the ground with the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate delivery on a standard chassis, you will also need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)
