This 20ft High Cube refrigerated container (reefer) features a side Personnel Access (PA) door, letting staff step in and out without opening the main cargo doors — reducing temperature loss during frequent access. Runs on a single-phase power supply, making it easier to connect on sites without three-phase electrics. Ideal for cold storage, food, and pharmaceutical applications.

The 20ft High Cube Refrigerated Container with Side PA (Personnel Access) Door is built for businesses that need reliable, walk-in cold storage without constantly opening the main cargo doors. The dedicated side PA door lets staff access the unit quickly for stock checks, loading small items, or routine access — protecting the internal temperature and reducing energy loss compared to opening the full-width doors.
Running on a single-phase (230V) power supply, this unit is easier to connect on sites that don’t have three-phase electrics available, making it a practical option for smaller food businesses, farms, retail units, and pharmaceutical storage where a full industrial supply isn’t installed.

Reefer units lose some internal volume to insulation compared with dry containers of the same external size — dimensions above are indicative and should be confirmed for your specific unit before ordering, particularly the achievable temperature range, which varies between single-phase and three-phase machines.
– Cold storage for food and beverage businesses
– Pharmaceutical and medical supply storage
– Farm and agricultural chilled storage
– Temporary or supplementary cold storage during peak season
– Site-based frozen/chilled storage where three-phase power isn’t available
Single-phase units are typically easier and cheaper to connect than three-phase machines, since most UK commercial and domestic sites already have single-phase electrics installed. This makes them a practical choice for smaller operations that don’t want the cost of a new three-phase supply, while still providing dependable temperature control for most chilled and frozen storage needs.
Delivered nationwide via flatbed or tilt-bed vehicle. Before ordering, please confirm:
– Suitable vehicle access for a 20ft container delivery
– A level, firm base for the unit once sited
– Access to a single-phase power connection near the delivery point
What does “PA door” mean on a refrigerated container?
PA stands for Personnel Access. It’s a smaller side door built into a reefer container specifically so staff can enter without opening the full-width main cargo doors, helping maintain a stable internal temperature.
Is a single-phase reefer as powerful as a three-phase unit?
Single-phase units are generally suited to standard chilled/frozen storage but may have a narrower achievable temperature range or slower pull-down time than three-phase machines. Speak to our team about your required temperature range before ordering.
Can this container be used for food storage?
Yes. It’s fitted with food-grade interior panels suitable for chilled and frozen food storage, subject to your own food safety compliance requirements.
Does this container need three-phase power?
No — this unit runs on a standard single-phase (230V) supply, making it easier to install on sites without three-phase electrics.
