About New 40ft High-Cube Reefer Containers
A new 40ft High-Cube reefer container is designed for long-term refrigerated transport and storage, providing optimal conditions for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-sensitive cargo. Its high-cube design offers extra interior height, allowing for maximum pallet and crate capacity.

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 handling.

Compact enough for easy handling yet spacious for refrigerated pallets and crates, this container is ideal for supply chains, project logistics, or on-site refrigerated storage.

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 between pick-up from one of our depots, or tilt-bed delivery to your location.

Pick-Up

Most products are in-stock and available for pick-up within 3-5 days. With this option, you are responsible for ensuring you have a suitable vehicle and the proper equipment to safely offload your container on your property. A member of our team will reach out to coordinate your pick-up. Contact us if you require pick-up sooner.

 

Tilt-Bed Delivery

If you select tilt-bed delivery, your shipping container will be delivered on a tilt-bed trailer. This is a specialized piece of equipment that is towed by either a hot shot truck or standard truck cab. Then, the front of the bed is raised so the container slides safely to the ground as the driver slowly drives forward.

To facilitate delivery on a tilt-bed trailer, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 100ft (30.5m)
  • Height Clearance: 15ft (4.5m)*
  • Width Clearance: 12ft (3.65m)

 

Note: Any low-hanging wires at the drop-site must be at least 18ft off the ground for the trailer to tilt safely.

 

To learn more about these delivery methods, consult our shipping container delivery guide.

 

Key Features

  • One intermodal trip to the U.S.
  • Typically less than 2 years old
  • Strong resale value
  • Can be used for decades

 

What they look like

One-trip containers are the newest available for sale. Most are manufactured in beige (RAL 1015), though colors like dark blue, red, and grey are also common. They usually do not carry shipping-line logos—though it is a possibility. And while they are in excellent condition, minor scuffs or small dents from their single ocean journey are normal.

 

Features and build

One-trip containers come in two subcategories: storage-spec (also known as “trading-spec”) and shipping-spec (also called “leasing-spec”).

Storage-spec containers are made for domestic use and are easy to access and secure from the ground—they include features like a lockbox, easy-open door handles, and forklift pockets.

Shipping-spec containers are built for intermodal shipping and may not include all of the same features. However, the steel is slightly thicker in shipping-spec units (1.6 mm versus 1.2 mm for storage-spec), making them better suited for repeated transport.

 

Why they’re called “one-trips”

Because almost all containers are manufactured in China, they must make at least one loaded voyage before being sold in the U.S. This avoids the cost and footprint of shipping an empty unit.

 

Uses

New containers are suitable for any storage, shipping, or building application. They are the only grade we recommend for multi-story construction and are commonly used in the creation of modular self-storage facilities.

FAQ

1. What are the dimensions of a 40ft high-cube refrigerated container?
A 40ft high-cube reefer has external dimensions of approximately 40’L × 8’W × 9’6″H, internal dimensions of 39’5″L × 7’8″W × 8’10″H, and doors measuring approximately 7’6″W × 7’5″H. Please note that the exact dimensions may vary based on the make and model.

2. How many pallets can fit in a 40′ high-cube reefer?
A 40ft high-cube reefer can typically hold 20–24 standard pallets (48″ × 40″), depending on stacking method and product type. As with any refrigerated container, it is essential to avoid overloading to maintain consistent airflow and ensure efficient temperature control throughout the unit.

3. How much does it cost to operate a 40′ high-cube reefer?
Operating costs vary depending on the unit’s set point, load, placement, and much more. On average, running a 40′ high-cube reefer can cost $30–$75 per day, depending on factors such as electricity rates, temperature settings, and humidity.

4. When should I choose a 40′ high-cube reefer over a cold room or standard 40′ reefer?
Choose a 40′ high-cube reefer when you need extra vertical space or high-volume, temporary temperature-controlled storage. They’re ideal for seasonal surges, transporting large quantities of perishable goods, or sites where building a permanent cold room is not feasible. Cold rooms remain better for permanent, high-volume installations.

5. What types of products are commonly stored in a 40′ high-cube reefer?
Most perishable consumer goods—such as food, pharmaceuticals, and beverages—are transported and stored in refrigerated containers. The extra height associated with a high-cube unit makes them especially useful for bulk storage or stacking taller pallets while maintaining your desired temperature and airflow.
