New 40-Foot High Cube Reefer Container – Reliable, High-Capacity Refrigerated Storage
A new 40 ft 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 to have your container delivered with or without a crane.

Pick-Up

A member of our team will reach out to coordinate your pick-up. 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.

 

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.

 

Condition: New — One-Trip Containers – Like New Condition

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.
