Description
20ft Refrigerated — Reefer
The 20ft Reefer is a refrigerated shipping container built for temperature-controlled storage, transport, and cold-chain projects — from farm-to-market produce hauling to walk-in cold storage conversions. Every unit is function-tested before it leaves the depot, with the compressor, thermostat, and door seals verified operational.
Choose New/One-Trip for a like-new unit with a factory-fresh refrigeration unit and zero cycles on the compressor, or a Used, Function-Tested unit — mechanically verified and graded, with meaningful savings over new.
Reefers move fast through our depot network — real-time inventory on this page reflects what’s actually sitting in the yard closest to your delivery zip.

Condition Grading Guide
| New / One-Trip | Factory-new refrigeration unit, zero compressor cycles, full paint, no dents or rust. Made one ocean voyage. |
| Used – Function-Tested | Compressor, thermostat, and seals mechanically verified operational. Cosmetic wear (surface rust, minor dents) graded and disclosed separately from mechanical condition. |
Mechanical function and cosmetic condition are graded independently — a unit can be cosmetically worn but mechanically sound, or vice versa. We disclose both so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Site & Power Readiness Checklist
- Confirm a 380-460V 3-phase power source is available at the placement site, or budget for a portable generator
- Level, compacted surface (gravel, asphalt, or concrete) rated for the unit’s loaded weight
- Minimum clearance matching a standard 20ft container footprint, plus room for the condenser unit to vent
- Delivery truck access (tilt-bed or roll-off) to the placement site
- If used for active cold storage, plan for routine refrigeration maintenance/service access
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the reefer come with a power cord?
Units ship with the standard reefer plug; a compatible power cord/cable can be added at checkout or sourced locally to match your site’s electrical setup.
What’s the difference between New/One-Trip and Used reefers?
New/One-Trip units have a factory-fresh compressor with zero run cycles. Used units are function-tested and verified operational but have logged service hours — reflected in the price.
Can I run the reefer without external power for transport?
Reefers require continuous power to maintain temperature. For transport, a generator set (genset) or a reefer-equipped trailer with onboard power is required.
What temperature range can this unit maintain?
-25°C to +25°C (-13°F to +77°F), suitable for frozen, chilled, and climate-controlled storage applications.
Do you offer financing on reefer containers?
Financing and leasing options are available — request a quote and our team will walk you through what’s available for your business.
How is the reefer delivered?
Standard tilt-bed or roll-off delivery, same as our dry containers. Confirm site access and power availability before delivery day.
Is a warranty included?
Function-tested units include a limited mechanical warranty on the refrigeration unit; New/One-Trip units carry the manufacturer’s standard coverage. Full terms provided at quote.
