NEW 20-Foot Domestic Reefer Container – Reliable, Insulated, and Efficient
A new 20 ft reefer container is engineered for temperature-sensitive cargo, offering precise climate control and superior insulation. Ideal for food, pharmaceuticals, and perishable goods, it ensures your products remain at optimal conditions during transport and storage.

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.

Whether used for international shipping, on-site cold storage, or integration into a supply chain, the 20 ft reefer container delivers a practical, reliable, and proven solution.

What does “new container” mean?
A “new” shipping container is a so-called one-trip container – it has only been used once for transport from the factory to its first destination. This ensures minimal wear and tear, perfect condition, and the highest standards of durability and longevity compared to used containers.

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)

How many pallets can fit in a 20ft refrigerated container?
A 20ft reefer typically fits 8–10 standard pallets (48″ × 40″) depending on stacking method and the type of product being stored. Pallets must be stacked evenly and to an appropriate height to maintain consistent airflow and temperature control.

How much does it cost to run a 20ft refrigerated container?
On average, running a 20′ reefer on electricity can cost $15–$40 per day, depending on the load, outside temperature, and refrigeration settings. Operating costs vary widely based internal and external factors, Internal factors include the reefer’s set point, insulation, and power source.

When should I choose a 20ft refrigerated container over a cold room?
A 20ft refrigerated container can provide temperature-controlled storage on properties where retrofitting a cold room or walk-in cooler would be too time consuming or costly. They’re also ideal for seasonal demand, temporary events, or transporting perishable goods, while cold rooms are better suited for permanent, high-volume storage. Please note that reefers require a stable, three-phase 240V power supply to operate. If you’re unsure of your property’s voltage capabilities, consult your electrician.

What products can I store in a 20ft refrigerated container?
20′ reefers are used for fresh foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, flowers, and temperature-sensitive chemicals. They maintain precise temperatures to ensure products remain safe and high quality during transport or storage.
